Turret plating has succeeded in both ending perma-roam mid meta (looking at you asol, taliyah, talon), keeping towers up for longer and thereby extending laning phase, and creating more mini-objectives earlier.
I still think they should make the second and last plate a little tankier, but it stopped the 4 minute tower takedown from a single death scenario, whoch IMO makes for a healthier game.
