3v3 turrets having -9 armor... is riot trying to stop players from playing 3v3?

Well since the start of preseason I've noticed that my favorite map The Twisted Treeline has had a bug where turrets actually have a negative amount of armor and this is an issue because all you have to do is pick a player such as Xin zhao or any heavy ad damage fighter and push towers to win. The other day me and friend wanted to see how fast we could win a game and picked heavy ad champs and won the game in 6 minutes. It was very unfair and unfortunate to the other team because their scaling team comp would've had a chance against out team had the game lasted the average 20 min length. Many of my friends are quite upset about this because it is not very fun to play on anymore since there is no skill involved in taking objectives now with the turret's bug. The bug occurs when an enemy champion comes within about 1000 or so range and then the turrets armor drops. I am just concerned that Riot is trying to stop people playing on the Twisted Treeline. If others are having the same problems please i would like to see that others care about 3v3 game play.

I have noticed that there are not as many bot players as there have been during the last month and a half or more, which really enticed me to want to play this game mode again.

I've been playing twisted treeline since the end of season 1, as unbalanced and wonky as the old map was I actually miss it compared to the newer map. The jungle is so much more simplified now compared to before and using flash to back door the nexus made some interesting match plays as far as comebacks were concerned, also I really really miss having wards available on this map I swear with all the vision changes done riot hates ward users.

I feel like any of the dedicated twisted treeline users who have stuck it out past the new TT map have pretty much abandoned this game mode now because of the bot users and now the turret changes, half the matches I play are full of bots and the other half of the matches are with human players but they are new to this game mode and leave with a bitter taste in their mouth stating 'I'll never play this game mode again' because of the problems.

Majority of the time when I talk to these players new to the twisted treeline mode is usually because a friend of theirs plays this mode and loved it once upon a time, I don't think riot will really dedicate any resources to fix this game mode given to past response to how much the game mode Domination has fallen since release.

Riot only caters to the Summoners Rift game mode because that's where the LCS matches are held, if it's gonna affect their bottom line then it will force them to make a change yet any of their 'alternative' game modes are not worth their time.

Just my two cents
