Consider this scenario - When Thresh hooks a champion and tahm kench eats it just before thresh pulls himself to the hooked champion, then Thress is pulled to the tahm kench... which makes sense, as the hooked champion is with tahm kench so thresh should be pulled to tahm kench.

TahmKench { Tristana } <---------<--------<----------<-------Thresh = TahmKench <-<-<-Thresh

But it is not the same in below scenario - when a fight is going under enemy tower, and a champion is getting hit by enemy tower. When tahm kench eats that champion, tower doesn't hits tahm kench, even when tahm kench is also under the tower. Tower should start hitting tahm kench, as the champion which was getting hit by enemy tower is with tahm kench who is himself under enemy tower range. {{summoner:17}} \ ............................................................{{summoner:17}} ........... \ { Tristana (100 hp) } TahmKench . . = = = = = = = = =TahmKench - tower forgets targeted champion is eaten by tahm kench and focus minions..

Thresh's hook is a tether, which is not broken by untargetability (such as Zhonyas, Sanguine Pool or Devour). When Thresh reactivates the hook, he dashes to the champion's current location (inside TK), regardless of targetability.

Tower aggro is a different beast entirely, since it IS disrupted by untargetability. The tower was attacking Tristana, but when TK consumes her, she becomes an invalid target of its attacks, and so it forgets she exists. It then goes through its normal checklist (champion who attacked my champion in my range, siege minions, melee minions, caster minions, champions) to see who it should target next. TK hasn't attacked a champion under the turret, so he doesn't pick up aggro.

Vi ults Jinx and TahmKench eats her she loses argo to while jinx ult can not miss why should a turret shot target tahm
