Turret Upgrade System?

I don't know if this idea has already been posted, but I was thinking - what if riot incorporated a turret upgrade system for the early laning phase? The way the system would work is that the team would not only build their own personal gold funds to purchase items but also build a team fund in which they could spend that team fund to upgrade their towers. The upgrades could range from larger turret detection range, stronger turret fire, faster turret fire, and turret health or defense. The limit for upgrades could range from 2-3 as a maximum. This concept could be applied a bit more easily in a draft mode because of the lanes being preset and that each role would be responsible to upgrade their own lane. However, I think this concept could still work regardless of preset roles assigned to whatever lane. Just curious, would this concept work? Would it still be unique for League? What are your thoughts?

A part of me really likes this idea Another part of me feels like this is a "Win more" thing though.

It prevents people from making comebacks at all because the turrets will be in god mode by the time that the other team can catch up.

And if a team is losing, the upgrades will likely not matter due to all the snowball mechanics already put into League.

Still, gonna upvote for discussion's sake.
