Anyone noticed this since 2 or 3 patches ago about towers ?

Sometimes I run out of turret range, I'm 100% sure I'm out of the range, yet when I come back, I still have tower aggro for SIMPLY no reason. I have seen a few streamers having the same issue (scarra for instance) and I wonder, either I'm dumb af and not paying attention, or just there is a real issue behind it. It cost me a few "executed" or giving the enemy that I dived a free kill, because I simply didn't realize I still had tower aggro until I died

turrets hold grudges

CytheGuyJul 6, 20186 votes

Could just be coincidence, but I usually regain the aggro after casting a spell at the enemy minions that are under tower. The game could be incorrectly identifying minions as champions in this regard.

I believe it is because turret is technically still targeting you until it launched an attack at a different unit. That's my current theory, anyway. Playing it like that has helped me avoid it happening to me for the most part. It does make towerdiving and harassing lane opponents a lot riskier. An annoying bug (feature?) For sure.

This. Every toplane can tell you stories about how fucked up turrets are. My favorite is you are usually able to immediately walk out of range before he actually shoots and sometimes the tower just insta hits you at lightspeed.

Simple. If the tower has not started throwing another shot at an enemy then you will still have aggro even though you clearly got out of range. Like one comment said before is that the tower still has a grudge on you and it's true it will until it hits another target. It's pretty dumb but yeah that's how it's always worked.

Are you sure it has nothing to do with scorch mastery or any passive dots?

No no I'm 100% sure. I know how scorch works etc. Sometimes it happens when the enemy already died, I leave tower range, come back and didn't lose tower aggro

Did you drink corrupting potion while fighting your enemy, have scortch in your rune tree or any abilites that do damage over time?

Saw it happen to Dom earlier, no idea what's causing it.

The bugs keep piling up in this game, and Riot does nothing about it

Like anyone would report it.

Ye I saw something similar with minions... one minion was getting tower aggro and the next minion in the same spot wasnt... The first minion shouldnt have gotten any tower aggro because it was actually out of tower range :/ weird

If you run out of tower range and the tower has not fired a shot onto a new target yet it is coded that you are still the target, so if you walk out of tower range, and step back in like 0.8 seconds later you are still the target, you must wait for the tower to acquire a new target, and begin to attack said target before you are safe. Ignite and other DOT damages also count to make you the target even if the enemy champion is across the map from you.(Example, Teemo attacking top tower, someone steps on a mushroom in bot lane the tower will target teemo)

Yeah, this happened to me too, not sure why it happens. I step out of range and then come back into range and it is still focused on me. Kind of feels shitty when I already stepped out of turret range like I was supposed to do.

Towers? I just thought they are big minions.

no , i played quite alot recently , and didnt noticed... thanx ill try to pay attention to those weak statues now, mybe i notice something strange

VelasanJul 6, 20181 votes

Ok so I was about to say, "No, I haven't noticed that."

Then it literally just happened to me in the game I was in playing Fiddle. Me and 2 team mates are taking tower, minions are already under it, I walk up to attack it and get aggroed. No enemy champions are even around. I had just ulted and killed bot lane a few seconds before.

So, they now prioritize champions regularly?
