AoI & the RBF (in General)

Ok, forgive me if this is something I should know but...

I've a familiar junctioned with a minion wearing an AoI. Against Dude's char my front minion gets hit, then the minion behind the junction minion/familiar. Does the AoI work against the RBF? Should it work in this way? Or is this some strange side effect of the junction?

AoI works against the RoBF.

"Melee damage is no longer applied against those who attack. It is now sent to the first minion based on melee attacking rules (ie, invisible minions are skipped)."


Remind me to read the Wiki properly.

Thanks B.

When did this change?

It's always been this way, ever since the RoBF was no longer passive.
