A New way to boost the potential and usage of Azir's passive

Hello everyone, I'd like to bring up a topic discussing the new abilities of turrets in the current Preseason 5 PBE Patch. In this patch, for those who don't know, the outer turrets, they remain the same, The inner turrets, they give a shield to allies within a certain radius while the turret also has the shield, and the Inhibitor turrets are given a beam attack rather the normal turret blasting attack. This beam is a constant stream of damage increasing in damage and armor pen over approx 6 seconds until the max of 260%.

Now you may ask, why am I bringing this up? The reason is, some see Azir's passive not too useful, or strong enough, or just not too good at all. This is a way to fix it (possibly) What if we were to give Azir's passive turret the ability of the turret's remains it was casted upon? ex: Cast Azir's passive on an inner turret, the turret and allies near it have a small shield ex: Cast it on the inhibitor turret, it has a beam-type attack.

Personally, I think this wouldn't be half bad of an idea and add even MORE choices towards strategic placement with his passive.

Maybe to balance things out say, make the shield half, and the beam do 130% damage, (half of each, basically)

What do you guys think? I am really interested on this concept and I would love some feedback.

Sounds fun. Not much more to say than that.

I'd just be happy if they you know... functioned the same as ANY tower. Right now no damage amp means that after about level 4 even the adc can face tank it until they killed it, solo. Oh and be rewarded for it about the same as killing an entire minion wave.

I mean in theory it could be a great fall back when sieging the inner or inhib turret but as it is by the time a turret drops it has already become next to useless.

I wish his passive sun disk would scale with is ap, or at least + bonus ap as part of it :(
