@Riot, Zyra AI clarification please!!
Per the patch notes:
"Plants now prioritize the target Zyra has most recently attacked rather than the closest target she has attacked in the past 4 seconds. Champions recently attacked will still be prioritized over minions."
What does this mean for plant range "target resets" where the enemy just runs out and runs back in? Will the plant retain its champion attack priority if the champion was previously AA-tagged? I have some questions on that.
- On plain reading it seems like the plant should behave as follows in a 1v1 situation:
--Zyra AAs enemy Yasuo in plant range --Plant targets Yasuo --Yasuo dashes out of plant range --Plant targets nearest AA-targeted minion (if any), otherwise auto-targets nearest enemy --Yasuo dashes back into range --Plant is then guaranteed to prioritize Yasuo over any other target, regardless of Zyra's CSing --Repeat 1000x during the span of a single plant....because Yasuo
Please confirm that this is correct!
- Do plants have AI "memory" from before they have spawned? For example in a 2v2 bot lane:
--Zyra AAs enemy Thresh --1 second later Zyra AAs enemy Vayne --10 seconds later Zyra spawns a plant right in the dead center of the epic clash of melee minions --Plant will target Vayne as she was Zyra's last AA target --Vayne runs out of range --Plant will target Thresh --Thresh runs out of range --Plant will target minion according to priority --Thresh comes back in range --Plant will target Thresh --Vayne tumbles back in range --Plant will target Vayne
Or do plants only "learn" their priority targets once they've spawned. In other words, can you AA an enemy champ to mark them upon spawn, or do you have to still AA the enemy champ after the plant has spawned?
- Does "attack" mean "auto attack" or does it refer to any target that takes damage from Zyra?
Also, feel free to correct any mistakes in my understanding of the priority system. Thanks!
