I backdoor all the time. But it's still stupid and pretty bm.
Yup, it's a dirty strategy. But if people can't watch their lanes all the time, they must not be good in the first place.

It is allowable, but there are mechanics that prevent team comps from cheesing their way to victory by BDing. Turrets take an extraodinary amount of punishment if you approach it without any minions, and they deal more damage to champions over time the longer you stay underneath one. The actual mechanics are complicated, but that's the basics of it.
On the other hand, armor and MR for turrets decay over time, and it becomes easier to knock them down. (why would turrets need an MR stat these days?)
In all of my LoL career, I've seen that it's possible to BD a Nexus turret from full to 0 without minions, but I'm not so sure about the lane turrets.
