the turrets in strand of the ancients can not turn all the way around like the ones in wintergrasp and so you usualy will need to get out if you are attacked from behind but if you aim as low as you can and for the furthest part of the ledge that the turret sits on you can hit melee attacker with the splash damage. the aoe aiming thingy will say that you will miss the ledge and it may take you a few attempts to get the aim right. this means that squishy players can defend their turret without having to get out and risk death.
