Offering skills no longer can target specific minions after latest patch

I hope this isn't intended behavior, because in addition to not been able to target which minions I want to sacrifice, it seems to purposely sacrifice my main minions (Arsonists in my case) instead of my fodder warriors. Almost like it selects the minions farthest away?

Before the latest patch, it would sacrifice the minion your mouse was hovering over. This was much better behavior! Now it ignores where my mouse is, no matter what minion I hover over.

The way it is now takes away strategic placement, and because I'm losing my arsonists, I'm losing a huge chunk of DPS for no reason.
