You can clearly see VayneVayne attacking meEzreal and the turret just attacks the cannon minion, that problem happens very frequently, and I finally recorded. Riot please fix that, because this is not the first time that it happens to me, I don't know if its me or a game bug. lol

I wrote about this once but I got downvoted a lot and people just said either I was out of range or the person attacking me was. Glad to see I'm not the only one.

I've had it happen to me while playing Nunu. Directly under tower harassing/attacking someone...only to have their tower ignore me completely. Seems a VERY recent issue whatever caused it, but its something that desperately needs to be fixed, considering it makes the towers largely useless if they don't even go after champions when they should(thank god its only rare, not a common thing)

It's a bug. The attached screenshots show that both Vayne and Ezreal were clearly within the towers aggro radius.

The left image is from the youtube video immediately after Vayne used her Condemn. The right image is from a custom match and clearly shows the tower's area of influence. Based on the image on the right, the tower should have switched targets to Vayne immediately after the Condemn.

If a mod says "she wasn't in range," I would laugh.

Vayne has a new passive, she can attack you under a turret. GGWP.

I have dived and not gotten shot at at all and was already planning how to get out of range when I realized it never changed from minions to me.... its legit a bug

Konidias1/7/2015, 5:36:42 PM5 votes

I vaguely remember if I tower dived an enemy with a team and I hit them one time for the killing blow, the tower would still target me until I got out of range, even after the enemy had died.

But now if I dive an enemy under tower and kill them immediately, the turret never even bothers to target me at all. I can literally run under tower, attack an enemy and then immediately switch focus to the turret without even worrying about it hitting me... It's nuts.

Towers are a joke now. Seriously... People tower dive a lot more frequently since they got changed. The inhib turrets are such a joke that a single tank can just stand there while the team 100-0's the turret.

I can't tell you the amount of times I've seen someone diving a laser turret and then standing in the laser for like 5 seconds before walking away and surviving with 100hp. It's too easy to gauge the damage over time.

Laser turrets should be ridiculous and just start blasting you heavily the moment you get in range. Just have them do the same damage to minions as they do now, and then have them do 3x more damage to champions.

Also, yeah... fix the turret aggro because it's terrible now.

Ikr, this is why sometimes I dont even hug turret anymore, I just back, because the stupid turret doesn't focus on champions when I get dived on.. this is why I exteremly dislike playing ADC

Zezockary1/7/2015, 12:59:39 PM2 votes

Um... it is supposed to work like that. The turret doesn't change targets to you, it just queues you up as the next thing to target. If they are fed enough to kill you before the turret can kill a cannon minion then you shouldn't have been there anyway.

Zezockary1/7/2015, 1:20:28 PM2 votes

I will have to test this out with a friend later. I have only ever seen it switch immediately when the turret was looking for a new target when i was dealing damage, like after it had switched but before it had shot, or after it had shot the killing blow but before the blow connected.

I am just recalling this from memory mind you. I will test this out tomorrow and see what happens if i get the chance, as I am genuinely interested now.

LeeDark1/7/2015, 9:22:28 PM2 votes

If I had to guess, I'd say the turret didn't recognize you as being in range, since she knocked you back against the far wall. Perhaps an issue with the new map. I know a step or two forward from you is definitely out of turret range, because I use that spot to harass people.

This bug is still happening 6 months later. I've played this game almost 2 years and it's always happened. I notice it happen to enemies more often, but I've seen it happen in my favor a few times.

There's actually 2 bugs related to this issue (one could be seen as more of a gameplay mechanic than a bug, but works kind of counterintuitively)

  1. If you kill an enemy under turret very quickly, the turret will often not aggro you at all. This can be seen either as a bug or a game mechanic intended. In my opinion this shouldn't be part of the game either and I see it as an exploitable bug - people will dive you knowing about this bug and another player might think it's safe and suddenly they get dived, die, and the other player continues to attack turret unscratched.

  2. Sometimes you are casting and basic attacking multiple times under turret, and the turret will not aggro you AT ALL. Sometimes you can continue this for several seconds until the player is dead and never get aggrod. Sometimes it won't aggro you at all during this entire battle, other times it will not aggro for 4-5 seconds then suddenly decide to aggro you halfway through the battle. Usually once another player has aggrod the turret, or you have left the turret range and then returned, the turret will seem to go back to normal aggro behavior.

I've noticed this bug more in bots, but I've definitely seen it happen in PVP Normals. It seems to happen more frequently when there are multiple people diving a turret, and the first 1-2 randomly won't get aggrod but the 3rd one will even though the other 2 attacked first.

Lystrates1/8/2015, 4:34:38 AM1 votes

Yes, I have definitely seen this happen quite a few times in the Bot lane. Like we would get dived, and the turret will not switch to them. I don't remember if it was only against Vayne or with other ADC.

Attach the game log too, riot needs that in order to see what went wrong at the time you showed

LOL, same thing has happened to me multiple times. I currently have only had problems with the bottom turrets though. OP RITO !

Emperor Cynric1/15/2015, 2:28:47 AM1 votes

yes this is a very stupid bug that should be fixed asap my friend went to hold top for me against a riven and riven was litterally next to the turret and the turret kept attacking minions so my friend died under turret.

I've seen this 3x and thought the players were using hacks.. and I might have even reported a player for it. :/

GundayMonday4/8/2015, 8:39:21 PM1 votes

Noticed this in my games a few times too. Turret kind of ignored the sion diving our team, but definitely kept hitting minions.

That tower didnt want to help you... it must be a spy for the enemy

Ternt1/7/2015, 2:20:47 PM1 votes

I notice this a lot, and it is very annoying. Because I feel like every time I go under it autolocks me no problem. But somebody will dive me and it will hardly even hit them. The new turrets are extremely faulty and useless.

Kamekazí8/10/2015, 7:56:00 AM1 votes

yep this isnt a bug if ur under the turret with minions and u shoot some one that isnt in turret range the turret still attacks the minions

Akenero11/16/2015, 4:01:04 PM1 votes

(Cant load video) I often attack opponents right after the tower fires a shot, which gives you about a second to attack them and get out, so it could be akin to that (still cant load)

WingsofGulgazor1/7/2015, 8:48:31 PM1 votes

I also think that sometimes the range of turrets has been targetting people further then it's actual range. I've seen quite a few people die from shots that seemed like it was out of range though it might be that I really just don't know the range of turrets but it has been seemingly been doing that.
