The real value of the turret was never its killing ability.
The value of the turret was to serve as a distraction + add some situational awareness. I still believe it fills that role.
Also I think there is a difference between something that IS fairly balanced. Versus some that FEELS fairly balanced.
Just look at the classic debates in FPS games...shotguns, snipers. Some tools/weapons really struggle to find a balance that feels fair to everyone. These bot weapons are just going to be another item in that list of 'unbalanceable' tools.
