Why did riot remove tower hitting abilities from certain champions

yet a nasus with a minimum of 300 stacks can ignore me while he beats the living hell out of my tower.

Abilities being able to be used on a tower is part of a champions power budget.

Champions that have had it removed, such as Rengar, did so because they had so much power within their kit innately that they didn't need an additional way to shred turrets.

Xin Zhao can use his Q on turrets and shred them, but that's part of his budget, similar to how Nasus can destroy turrets once he has stacks, or TF can with pick a card and a lichbane.

Cuz it's not like Nasus can land that Q on someone who actually matters, like a Kalista or a Vayne or a Lucian...

It undermines the way they want the game played. Riot enforces the meta. They want you to have an adc not two mages or others that can take the place of an adc.
