Slower tempos are brutal with pushing exercises. I like to go slower with pulling exercises -- it just feels like it's working the muscles harder -- but I don't think human shoulder joints are designed to push things at a deliberately slow pace.
You might push a max or near-max weight slowly, but that's different; you're trying to push it as fast as you can.
I don't know if it's universal or just me, but my shoulders seem to handle those max-effort lifts better than they do slow presses with less weight.
