#Card Targeting Bug

It seems like some cards will change who they are targeting or who they should be targeting in premade 2v2. For example if lets say an Annihilator is attacking my Master Tower. I’ll place a Scrat Propeller Horde directly behind it to kill it from behind. Out of the blast radius. The enemy Annihilator will turn around as I place my card blow up my scrats and the start shooting the base again. It’s almost like the act of spawning a card made it change its target. Basically the way it seemed to work before in 2.0, is that once an enemy minion starts attacking the Master Tower they will not change targets until they are dead or the Master tower is blown up. At least for shooters, it pretty much worked that way. I have seemed to noticed enemy minions changing their targets in ways I wouldn’t expect.

Similarly with stealth cards it seems like the minion cards more often forget or don’t target the stealth cards more than ever before. Especially Stixi! I don’t know if the speed of Stixi return to stealth but I could place a unit right next to it and it will be about to hit Stixi and then poof. Maybe the speed of Stixi returning to stealth is faster.

Could you share a replay where this happened? As I have not seen this happen at all!

Is there anything that is applying Marked to the units which is like a taunt for ranged units. Vulture Prime, TAAS, Stun Blast apply Marked.

That was my first guess as well fishy 😄 Replay is the easiest way, but if thats not an option, a screenshot of the moment might work, otherwise, checking if the target was actually base and not something close to the base or something else pushing annihilator a bit might be confused for this

Also sometimes people think a unit is attacking the Master Tower but it's actually attacking something right next to it, especially against Ratbo and the Scrats spawning.

I’ll try to capture a replay clip on Xbox when it happens I feel like it’s pretty often. My friend on Xbox noticed it as well.

Definitely not correct

north hazel
#

Yeah it’s not limited to any specific cards I notice it the most on Ranged cards.

#

It's a severe bug so it is strange that no-one else noticed or mentioned it so far.

This goes against how aggro has always worked.

@boreal sail Makes a great point here. Why is the Akinlep attacking face with it's ranged attack, it shouldn't do that. Perhaps this is more an Akinlep bug than an aggro bug

warped drift
#

Oh yeah what. He was blepping like the woggy pup

Would love to see more reports on this to confirm if its akinlep specifically and the other cases were something else, or if there is a general targeting bug

#

I feel like I recall people complaining about akinlep not dealing tower damage correctly, maybe this was introduced in the hotfix

I saw that happening 2-3 times , but did not report on it coz i tough some body else did it alrdy.. What's funny once he kills some thing he resets and carry's on normally.

I hear ya it’s harder to show it on Xbox. Plus haven’t be able to play since Xbox was down for so long I’ll try and capture when I get a chance to play.

also new mastre knocking back unit will push it out of range.. marked will make it re agro... and so on.. thre is so manny ways it can be done

#

@blissful nymph you should make video about units path and weight , and what happens when they collide , and so on...

@north hazel my favorite thing to do few months ago was playing huntress behind jahun , or in front... Jahun is 4 range , huntress is 6 , but his hit box is pretty big so when he locks on master tower she will be behind him and she will also lock on master tower , but after each Jahun attack he will push her back just a little bit , so she will re agro if you play some thing closer to her than your master is at that moment.

#

thats why you need to clip it when re agro bug happens.. coz there are many legit ways range unit can re agro and we need to be sure that what you are telling us is not 1 of those many.

The above clip is a Zapinator example. It will target the master tower I play a card directly behind it and it turns around and shots my card. @boreal sail @dreamy vapor @blissful nymph

boreal sail
#

aww man its even worse than that.. You used Shen to stun it... You know stun will reset agro?

north hazel
#

This clip doesn't work. Stun resets agro?

warped drift
#

yes

boreal sail
north hazel
#

So if it resets the card will it target the nearest?

warped drift
#

this is why it's important to have replays with bug reports, seems like a non issue

Hmm... well I'll check for other examples when the new season starts on Xbox. Maybe it's been related to stun. Never knew stun did that.

Guess I need to make an aggro video
