So you'd prefer tanking towers all day over having free access to towers? I don't think it'd make THAT much of a difference.

Just think of a strategy without minions. Lane is always pushed. At level 1, you just 5-man dive the enemy top laner, be really careful, and then you take a tower. Repeat this every time until you have the inhib. Then go to next lane.
