Turret update

In recent seasons, top and bot inner towers haven’t been a “strategic objective” due to their lack of value in comparison to other objectives on the map, according to Riot. To fix this, the devs are making these turret takedowns “more rewarding,” so that players are “encouraged” to look for leads in the side lanes and splitpush. This should also help the splitpusher feel like they have “more agency” to snowball into a threat that can’t be ignored.

• Inner turrets in side lanes (top and bottom) now grant an additional 250 local gold
• All turret inventories now show how much local gold they give once destroyed
