Yeah, it's too slow to just use it to heal a tower by itself, you need another reason to be at the tower... if you just use it to heal, you will be standing there for 5 minutes with practically no farm, and being useless to your team in any fights that happen unless they happen to be by that tower, to even get it to heal like halfway.

The way to use his passive to heal towers is, while you are already by a tower farming or are pressed back into it (which is pretty much always the case if the enemy has managed to damage your tower in lane), you will automatically heal the tower slowly, erasing most early game poke to that tower since you are staying in lane and you have an opponent who is helping you farm near it and give it that auto-heal for 'free' because they have the lane pushed... otherwise, you are best off only coming back to damaged towers when you have absolutely nothing else to do (no buffs or jungle creeps to get and not enough gold to go back) or there is a wave of creeps approaching it you can farm, so you can get in a little healing while you are farming by it.
