AI should prioritize attacking units, not buildings
AI units should not attack a totem, for example, while it's being attacked by an enemy. If AI units are being attacked by units (mobile or otherwise), it should attack those first, and then attack buildings and other units.
This would be one step to making the AI smarter.
I would go one step further and target units that have the best score calculated as follows: EnemyAttackDamageEnemyAttackSpeedEnemySplashRadius / (EnemyRemainingHealth*EffectiveDamageMultiplier + 1)
This "heuristic" can be improved a lot but I think it is a great place to start since it is quite easy to calculate.
For example not taking into account splash radius if we don't have ally units close to us, not targeting units that are already going to die and slightly biasing the formula towards attacking units that are further so we make better use of our range. Also maybe we can calculate if we are going to miss all the time by looking at the projectile speed and enemy movement speed and lower its value so we only attack it if we have nothing better to do and hope it stops or does a sharp turn.
