- Turrets are always more important than Baron Nashor or Dragon. Because of one simple thing. Turrets can't respawn and can't regain health. If enemy team has Baron Nashor buff and Dragon and 3 lane turrets, but you have all the turrets, who is in the better position? Turrets are prime target.

I disagree somewhat here.

1. A baron is worth more gold AND gives the buff AND gives experience AND will in most cases, lead to a turret kill or more for them. Baron for anything less than an inhibitor turret or multiple turrets is not a fair trade.

2.  Dragon is situational. It depends on a lot of factors. Both teams have an equal number of turret objectives and thus global gold available to them. Dragon becomes an extra objective in their favor in the long run. However the loss of a turret also costs them vision and map presence which can really hurt a team early game. Early game a turret for dragon is a great trade. By later game an outer turret loss doesn't hurt as much.
