I would like to suggest a change to how engineers turret works. As it is now it will always be toggled for hero only mode when placed. This will give players that want to use it to stop a oncomeing creep wave frustartion.
As things are you will need to throw the turret select it then switch it to all everytime you use it for creeping.
Suggestion.
Make a toggle for the turret between all and hero only mode, so the tower when placed will be placed in the toggled mode.

The problem isn't that it starts in a different mode, in many cases targeting heroes first is better.
The problem is the access to the toggle. I think the toggle should be removed from the turret selection and added to a split skill on the engineer's skill set. So he can quickly toggle without needing to deselect himself to use it.

Yes that is what i mean. a toggle on the skill itself the changes the mode the tower is in. This will allow you to change its mode without deslecting your hero.

imo it should just shoot anything with target priority set to heroes

well that wouldnt be optimal for laneing against melee heroes. If it shoots everything it will quickly run out of mana in a lane. While if its hero only it will conserve mana for the hero. allowing you to use it as a harras tool to keep melees away from their farming.

No engi doesnt have a passive to switch one of the buttons for.My idea is that it atacks any hero that goes in range but when there arent any it atacks creeps.

well for the reason stated above this will sometimes be a bad thing.
Example: You are laneing mid vs a melee hero. You place your turret on your side of the hill so that it is in range of the creeps. with your idear it will start shooting the creeps burning away its mana. while when in hero only mode it will wait for the hero and get him when he tries to get a creep.
So we need to be able to select modes. But the way we select modes needs to be improved
