Why does things like Zilean W not aggro turrets, but will proc aery

but only proc Aery on allies. it won't proc aery on enemies. i assume it won't get tower aggro because it doesn't also proc aery because of riot thinking i guess, but like the description isn't helpful.

It says it right in the description of "Summon Aery", I also assume you mean Zilean's E (the speed boost / slow)

PASSIVE: **Damaging **an enemy champion signals Aery to dash to them, dealing 10 − 40 (based on level) (+ 15% bonus AD) (+ 10% AP) Attack damageAbility power Adaptive damage.

Zilean's E doesn't do damage.

Healing, shielding or **buffing ** an ally signals Aery to dash to them, shielding them for 35 − 80 (based on level) (+ 40% bonus AD) (+ 25% AP) for 2 seconds.

Zilean's E is classified as a buff which is why it applies Aery.

Not really misleading at all.

And that's also why aery jarvan support works.

It does, I've done it. Aery freaks out when you throw out your E and tries to shield your ally so much as long as that standard is on the ground.

where does it say that? A 3rd party site that reports how it works whether or not it's a bug?

Then why does Ezreal W (before you even damage them) proc aery? You can just hit with W, and not proc the dmg (aka nothing happened at all) and you hit Aery? No damage yet you proc Aery. Coincidentally it also draws Turret Aggro.

Then, Zilean bombs, proc Aery by picking them up... and you don't even put a shield on an ally if they pick up th e bomb. Picking up the bomb as an ally you get a buff (aka Aery should go), but you don't.

Then why does Karthus ult not do anything until the spell finishes doing dmg (despite debuffs and you can get hit)

the TLDR is that you have to go to 3rd party sites as Riot's explanations aren't helpful.

If I need to know something league related its best to check a site like this as the client is useless (condensed) and riots official stuff turns out messed up like Skarners ult damage description on this page.

The ezreal W procing aery for damage is probably coded like Trundle pillar/anivia wall which does one true damage to give assists (Dark harvest trundle was funny on aram while it was strong, pillar and them dying just brought a smile to my face), something that yet again is not mentioned on official sources. This is based on you saying it draws turret agro as i don't play ez enough to know

I was originally including Nasus W, but decided to just talk about Zilean E.

Ezreal's old W applied Summon Aery on allies too, since it gave an attack speed buff. I imagine Nunu's passive applies it, but he cant blood boil allies without auto attacking so Im not sure how the priority here works.

Havne't played Lulu in a while, Whimsy I assume applies Aery to allies, but not enemies? (Speed+Aspd buff/Polymorph based on target.)

Attack Prioritization

Turrets will continue to attack their current target until the target dies, leaves attack range, or becomes untargetable due to abilities or items.

A turret will prioritize an enemy champion if that champion deals damage to an allied champion who is within 1400 range of the turret. Damage dealt can come from any source (pet, aura, item, etc.) in order for a champion to be targeted. Additionally, turrets will target an enemy champion if no other valid target is within range. Turrets will not attack an enemy champion who uses a non-damaging spell (e.g. Karthus' Wall of Pain). A spell or attack that is blocked (by a spell shield or ability effect) and deals no damage will still draw turret aggro.

Clip from https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Turret which is generally kept quite up to date.

That mixed with

Healing, shielding or buffing an ally signals Aery to dash to them, shielding them for 35 − 80 (based on level) (+ 40% bonus AD) (+ 25% AP) for 2 seconds.

From https://leagueoflegends.fandom.com/wiki/Summon_Aery and theres the whole story.
