How to make the tower stop hitting me?

[Captain Wolf]

I still don't seem to understand tower mechanics. Sometimes I can walk right up to the tower and hit it. Other times, the tower will start attacking me right away if I do that.

Sometimes when I run from the tower it only hits me once or twice. Other times, it hits me three or four times.

What causes the tower to start attacking me? How do I get it to stop? Ty.

u need to get a little behind of one of ur team creep that are in tower range, press A, hit the creep.

if u want to save a heroe friend from the tower, just press A and hit the tower, it ll turn to hit u.

tower behaves like a creep. normally attacks the closest enemy unless you do an attack command on a hero, in which case the tower prioritizes you.
you can reset this by doing a force attack command on an ally creep.

The A click is unnecessary and wouldn't shift the aggro to you, they'd have to either move further away from it or stop attacking it after you right click it.

All this helped. It is way more complicated than I thought. But more or less, if a tower is attacking me, i just hit one of my own creeps, right?

It also mentioned in the article you cited that the tower will stop attacking me if I become "immune". Can you give me a few examples of that?

When you attack click an ally the tower retargets the closest unit

'Attack immune' means any effect that makes you untargetable with auto-attacks, such as Ghost Scepter, Euls, Dark Willow's Shadow Realm, etc.

Last question about this stuff Are there other types of "auto attacks" other than towers that items like Euls, etc will make me immune to?

I don't really understand the question precisely but I will give you 2 possibility.
Euls, Ghost Scepter, Shadow Realm, ect makes a hero immune to ALL auto attacks. It's not like evasion where you can sometimes "miss" an auto-attack, those just straight out prevent you from auto-attacking the target and also makes the current projectile miss. So if you pop a Ghost while a projectile tower is travelling toward you, you will not receive damage from that attack. If a Templar Assassin with Meld and 6 Divine Rapier try to attack you but you Ghost Scepter, she can't do anything about it.
The other possibility is anything else makes me immune? Besides the ethereal status, you also have banishment type spell. Outworld Devourer's Astral Prison or Shadow Demon's Disruption removes you from the game from a period of time, making you reset the tower aggro and prevent you from taking damage for a period of time. The cost is that you can't do anything during that time.

No. You issue an attack commsnd on allied unit that is closer to tower than you. No need to hit, but must be further away.

Also tower range is bigger tgan aggro range so you can attack without reprimand under tower on certain range.
