[GAMEPLAY] Yi unable to stop tower aggro

Example - when i play yi jungle and go to tower dive the enemy, i go in take a few tower shots while killing the enemy. if you have both ally and enemy minions under tower you can (Q) Alpha Strike to a minion to de-aggro yourself. this was possible before patch 6.10. now his (Q) Alpha Strike does not lose aggro under tower when using said skill on a minion away from enemy champ (providing there are other ally forces within tower range)

side note There was never any notice (that i remember) from Riot's patch notes/bug fixes that being able to de aggro towers while diving was a bug to begin with or any remarks about Yi's Q

Steps to Recreate Bug

  1. have enemy minions and ally minions under tower
  2. attack enemy champion
  3. tower will attack Master Yi
  4. Q dodge tower shot onto enemy minion and tower should aggro Yi's minions (instead tower will re aggro yi, even with no DoT effects)

How Frequent? I played 3 games in a row as Yi. Not once was i able to lose tower aggro using the method mentioned above note - entire preseason i was able to lose tower aggro

unfortunately i do not have any video or screenshots. youtube cowsep to see how Yi would normally lose tower aggro lol

I think in reality it was a bugfix that makes turret aggro still lock on to him. not vice versa

It's a bug, Yi's Alpha strike has plenty of bugs. They'll probably end Yi instead of fixing these bugs.

It's not a feature or a bug fix as Yi's Q is supposed to make him phase out of map. That is Q's ability, now one more ability lost.
