He WAS permabanned from ranked when he had 3 turrets, but I always thought it was more for the reason that his grenades and turrets used to do full damage to towers... but then again they DID keep banning him even after they lowered his ratios, got rid of the tower damage from grenades, and nerfed his turret damage to towers to half... so I guess the third turret really was what was making him too strong.. I just don't agree with them not giving him any of the other stuff back after they took that turret away.

Although I could see how he could influence seiges pretty hard, a teamfight at a tower he's protecting made the other team spend a lot of their poke and aoe just trying to clear his turrets before they could even touch your team, while your team could just harass them anytime they got close. If they decided to go in with 3 turrets there, and they didn't focus them first, they would get destroyed, and if they did focus them first, your carry gets to eat them up while he's being ignored.
