BOB target priority?

Does anyone know who BOB prioritizes? I feel like I could’ve won a lot of team fights if BOB wasn’t shooting enemies behind shields.

Afaik when he has no target, he picks the closest enemy and starts shooting. He remains locked on until he breaks LoS and picks another one.

But Bob didn’t do something enough for me to tell a 100%

I would like more info on BOB’s priority selection. It feels very very random sometimes (and sometimes it feels like it’s the closest). I think it should work like the torb turret (where your shots direct his selection) but I can’t concretely say how it works…

Huh.
So using him to throw everyone in the air is pretty useless because the tank is almost always in the front.

I believe B.O.B. locks onto the closest enemy hero within Line of Sight regardless of barriers.

When that enemy dies or breaks LoS, B.O.B. will target the next closest hero.

I know someone who claims to have witnessed that he prioritizes wounded targets. Have no evidence though, that’d be insane if he did.

Probably this. That’s how Torb’s Turret works, and it’d probably be far easier to re-use code from the Turret’s Targeting AI than it’d be to write entirely new code for it.
