Why is bot lane like another version of ARAM ?

I don't know why the mid fkn comes to bot to gank when his enemy goes to base. I don't know why the top teleports to bot and why the jungler ganks bot and then camps there until he breaks the turret? There have been so many games where as a supp, my lane is winning but you only need 1 gank to flip the whole situation. I can swear that on average after 10-15 mins a bot lane turret falls every game and then the bot lane is just roaming mid and top. Those champs that excel in mid-late game are really hit hard by this and i just want to know if riot is planning on consolidating the bot lane turret's in anyway? I might not even be supp main anymore with the way things are going.

Basically, there are too many objectives to be taken on the bottom side of the map, including:

Two kills
FB Tower
Dragon

Basically, whichever team has bottom lane win will probably dominate the game due to a large influx in gold, dragon control, their ADC getting enough items to be useful, and bottom lane being able to roam and take objectives around the map.

forgot that the bot lane turret is the only one that has no fortification and is the easiest one to take down.

Especially since you have an extra person to help kill it.

most likely people snowball to bot because there are easy targets.

Snowball champs and junglers excel so much in ganks that it's impossible to lane without them getting free kills. This is no fun as wards don't do sht when your given 500g to begin with and the normal trinkets run out so fast. Unless i was to go back just for wards but even then i'd have to place the wards in the middle of the river bed as the bush is just too close. it's not fun that you lose your lane and you have not even yet build 1 core item. You then waste so much time for the creeps to come to the 2nd tower and risk even more ganks if you go down the lane with a broken turret. Champs that rely on items alot are hit very hard by this and i can swear mage supports that can burst are like the new meta. They are so much effective to win lanes early on because of their burst.

Riot should just make the turrets much stronger at bot lane just the last one to make laning phase at least last moderate amount of time.

In regards to the title, It's very simple as to why it feels like ARAM, because "roles" such as ADC and Support bot lane are all playerbase made things. It was stated by Riot at one point regarding a class update (I think, I don't 100% remember the source material but I know I read it) that lane roles (ADC+Support bot, mages and assassins mid, etc) were formed through the players and that Riot just went with it re-balancing the game around those player-dubbed roles.
