What if single target abilities drew minion aggro?

It is obnoxious to lane against champions like Vad, gangplank, and Annie who can just spam their point and click skills for free poke with little counter play. To remedy this, single target spells could draw minion aggro. This would allow the poke to still happen, but then they would risk taking too much minion damage. But since this is only single target, it still rewards hitting skill shots in lane to poke such as a Syndra q.

Thing is, these champions are currently balanced around this ability to poke for free. This could be an interesting change, but it would require an immense amount of work to rebalance every match-up. Probably not worth it, in the end, at least not on the short-medium term.
