Something is off about Heimerdinger's turret AI recently...

The enemy champion didn't get in range, so it has nothing to do with prioritizing them. I used to constantly have 90%~ success CSing as Heimerdinger. Between the high turret AS and my own AA I was able to last hit almost perfectly.

Recently the turrets are just going insane. They are ignoring the targets I mark with my AA and they randomly switch targets. It's not uncommon for them to get a minion to 1 hit from death and then change targets. It's easily replicated, it happens in every game I play him. The most catastrophic part of this bug though, is that you can have an enemy dive you and your turrets will ignore them. I can mark them with my AA all I want, and they're in range, but sometimes a turret won't focus on the enemy.

Has anyone else noticed this issue? I've played plenty of Hiemerdinger over the past several months and have just noticed it this past month or so.

i don't play heim but i noticed today when i was laning against him that the turrets weren't really helping him at all. then again that heim was bad so maybe it was just him?

Yeah I've recently experienced random targeting issues with his turrets as of late as well.

Let alone heim's turrets, I've noticed minions and actual towers themselves are randomly switching aggro, and it's really irritating me.

Yeah, i dont play heim ALOT but whenever i have played him lately it seems like the turrets are almost AVOIDING what im marking

I almost said that in my post... They stop attacking at the absolute worst time. I think they leave a minion with a sliver of hp more often than they last hit one now. Something is definitely wrong.

Yeah, i bought heimer nearly 8 monthes ago, because i tried him once and loved how he felt. Bought him and played him a few times a month or 2 later and it felt wrong. Now i play him VERY rarely because it doesnt feel right. The turrets arent acting like they used to.
