Had exactly this happen in a ranked flex too.

Might be the knockup? It happened in two games where I played Rakan and started W both times, once on blue side with blue buff ( https://puu.sh/A6i9e/5a71eef4d4.webm ) and once on red side with red buff ( https://puu.sh/A6ibg/8e0908605d.webm ).

EDIT: DruidBard (posted earlier) reported the same issue with a jungle Aatrox who started his knockup. I'm also assuming budrune had the issue in their Alistar game. So definitely the knockup.

Yeah, it definitely looks like the knockup is the issue. Because it looks like it was targetting before the Ali knocked it up

I just experienced this with Ali on blue buff as Warwick. My blue kept chasing Ali but bugged so badly on pathing we couldn't start blue. I didn't successfully give mid blue until level 7 when it finally stayed still long enough. Such a weird bug.

Yeah, this happened when I was playing as Kai'sa and we had a Sion jungle... Blue buff kept targeting me and even if I didn't back fully out of range, it kept resetting itself like every two seconds. [sg-lux-2]

This happened to me today too (I was playing Rakan)

I contacted Riot support about it (since it basically caused both bot and jungle to get way far behind, contributing to the loss)

I was told that: "I've seen this kind of bug happen a few times recently. We are actually aware of this and working to get it fixed"

When I asked if I could have my MMR be unaffected I was told it was not possible. I then asked why ranked wasn't disabled because of this issue and I was just told: "We haven't seen this crop up very often, and it's not effecting a whole bunch of games right now. But I'm sure we are getting this fixed soon so that they don't have to take down ranked"

So I would suggest to be as vocal as possible about this issue.

it seems to be some sort an aggro lock to the target after the knockup, aggro wont reset to a new champ, instead stick to w/e target hit it first after the knockup

very strange..

i havent had this occur to me personally, but if ther aggro is indeed locked on the last champion that hit it after the knockup, it seems like the only way to work around this would be to have that champion be the only to solo the buff wihout any other players attacking it.. and hofullpy upon death of the camp the issue goes away.

still this would be pretty gamebreaking in a ranked game.
