Every once in a while I will see a minion just stop moving.

[GAMEPLAY]

Sometimes when I am farming I will hit a group of minions with a cc effect and one of the minions in the crowd will just completely freeze. If you hit it, it will still stay frozen and it's just kind of weird. It doesn't happen very often but when it does it just leaves a minion frozen in time waiting in the same spot just to be killed. When I say frozen, I mean that minion isn't moving at all. It's like if somebody put a little decoy minion doll in the batch of minions since they were running out of minions to spawn. I feel like this might have to do with the excessive amount of minion block that was recently added (even though it was recently reduced).

Has anybody else seen this? Will this be fixed in the next update?

That is just the minion contemplating it's non-existent existence.

The minion is just realizing something..... That it's set to die. Whether it's to the tower or to the enemy minions or to the enemy champ it will die. Maybe not now maybe not later but for it, death is unavodiable. It's entire exisince is to do nothing but fight, die, and gets its gold taken. It is living a life not worth it. Its decided instead of killing those who are exactly alike from them but only through different colors they fight it will die. It will end the suffereing it was meant for and created for. It will die now. And without a thought.

It's the minion trying to differentiate it's coding from literally everything else in the game that's also coded as a minion.

I've seen this before, happened with an enemy ranged minion under my tower. It froze and stopped attacking, completely untargetable. The tower couldn't even shoot it. It eventually disappeared and the game then continued like normal. Odd right?

Legend has it that the minion haunts the deepest parts of the Rift's jungle.

funny enough the same thing happens with Vel'Koz while auto attacking, He will randomly freeze and show no animations for autos yet they still work. Looks silly but I chuckle every time I see it

For me it seems to just do it in the laning phase. I dont see it in the late game, But It might be because I focus on other things (Enemy Position,etc) Soraka

I have noticed this a lot playing kennen top. Happens around once a game lately.

It happens for me every few games and it's strange

Happened to a Super Minion while I was defending the other day. At first I thought I must have DCed, but I kept doing damage to it and the other minions kept marching on. I got the gold for killing it and everything.

Saw a Cannon minion freeze in the middle of the lane. Didn't attack either

I see this happening a lot, like multiple times per game, This latest patch has a significant amount of bugs. Good thing the season is still a month away because Riot needs some time to correct all of these.

Melee Minion: OMG, noob caster minion can't reven walk to lane

Caster Minion: /all report Melee minon for trolling

Melee Minion: /all what? report Caster for being a noob

Caster Minion: [afk]

Do you think the minion sees us as being stuck too when that happens? That must be weird for them.

This also happens in treeline

This happens even without any intervention with the minion. I've been practicing CS in a custom game with just me and no bots and the minions will occasionally do this even if I don't auto them or hit them with a spell. I have no clue why it happens

Yop. It Happened to me too.

This is still a very apparent issue

Vincent Lucius11/30/2015, 5:24:37 PM1 votes

I see it once every time I have a Shaco. Actually, that's been happening whenever a Shaco comes by since last season, I think. Shaclone has an AP video that shows a cannon minion just sitting there after a gank, still alive but just... Not moving. At all. Not even the animation of the wheels moving.

I had a clump of caster minions gathered around a turret, unmoving. I'm not really sure what was going on with that.

Krinu11/30/2015, 8:45:37 PM1 votes

Happens to me from time to time. It seems to happen when their current target dies or becomes unreachable, at which point they seem to get "stuck" and won't resume heading down the lane.

Tribbles Foxfolk11/30/2015, 9:30:00 PM1 votes

Yeah, this regularly happens to me. Minimum 2-3 NOTICEABLE times per game, not counting missed waves and the like. This is really mind-boggling that this bug was GONE and it's somehow back.

I thought it was cuz i ran this game on a toaster.
