Have NPCs been changed or just a bug?

Having a weird issue tonight where normal lowsec gate rats will lock & multi point/web my ship (frig with 3.5s allign) before it can warp 100% of the time when they are present, and belt rats seem to be doing odd things too (single serp cruiser rat two-volleying an afterburning 5k+ ehp punisher into half armour at 80+km)
I effectively can't go through lowsec atm without being hard tackled by rats on my 'in' gates :D

Has something been changed last patch that I've missed or is it just bugged?

Picture of problem

Thanks.

Guardian NPCs are EWAR npcs so they point and web, getting 2 shot by an NPC in a belt (would be more than 2 shots you are just exaggerating) would be a clone soldier /thread

It's either normal game mechanics at work (as stated above) or a bug. I highly doubt the latter, but if you feel confident it is indeed a bug, I would advice submitting a Support Ticket.
As that is not something you should post about, this thread gets a lock.
