Clicking on Yorick's ghosts is IMPOSSIBLE

I'm guessing they are made this way so they don't clutter people's games when they are trying to target champs, but it really sucks when you are playing Nunu or Veigar or Warwick and you want to click them but can't. Dying as Nunu or Warwick because you clicked ten+ times for that clutch heal but still missed the ghost is really really frustrating. Is there any way it could be changed to target differently for these specific champs?

This is extremely recent. I don't know what happened. I cannot. CAN NOT. Click on yoricks ghouls anymore.

Some aspect of the mechanics have changed. I don't know what but I forgot all about this until I saw this post.

Upvote this this and repost on Help and support.

This is a bug and in no way can it be intended. The functionality has changed entirely. You should be able to target them, you used to be able to.

I agree, they are pretty difficult to hit. The only reason I've been able to thus far is because of Minion Farm Simulators such as Echo Prime, Diablo & clones, and many twitch-click flash games.

I wonder if today's patch update helped at all...? Probably not, I imagine they just have really small hitboxes. Like Heimer turrets, which are actually only easier to click because they don't move -.-

There was some hitbox stuff bugging out recently I remember Boors I think mentioning, maybe Yorick, the inherently buggy creature he's always been, got in on that?

EDIT: Here's the post from Riot Boourns, "Hey guys, I think I identified what was going on with this. The BotRK post[1] from last week rang some alarm bells for me. What happened was that the pixel perfect targeting part of the code was broken so the targeting system was making decisions based only on the bounding volume around models. How this manifests is that when you have targetable objects near each other (like Taric near a tower, or minions packed in a wave) you will get imprecise targeting even though your mouse is over the model of the thing you're trying to target. I just checked in a fix and it's going through the QA process. Thanks to all of you for raising awareness on this. I'd been thinking that something felt "off", but I thought I was just a baddie or had intermittent lag. Your comments helped narrow things down. This video is really helpful for providing a solid test case for us."

That is an insanity wolf level buff to Yorick if intended. Seriously, his counter play is to actually attack the gouls. Can't do that if you are a right click champion anymore, now can you?

Regardless, I don't see this standing very long. Either it's a bug, and an abusive one at that, or it's a ninja buff, in which case Yorick now has 0 counterplay. Guess which one has my guess.

Has it changed with this patch? I always remember his ghouls as being very very hard to click, which is why I often have to resort to the 'attack move' that has a slight delay and sometimes prefer to hit something other than the ghouls, even though they're right on top of me.
