Pathing issues in new Summoners Rift

Since I cant find any topics on this, I'll be posting it.

I've noticed there has been issues with pathing in the new map. At first I thought it was just me, but then I asked around and people were agreeing me that things felt janky and twitcy, especially around minions. I tried ignoring the pathing issues, thinking maybe nothing was really wrong at all until I literally got stuck on a wall in jungle trying to head towards the enemy base. I was wondering why I hadn't shown up for the team fight and I look back at my champion she was stuck on the side of the wall in a running animation unable to move forward, my pathing line on the mini-map turned red instead of the usual white, I was not stunned or disabled in anyway, just stuck, my ping was fine, ~50 everything else was playing normally. Fortunately I could walk backwards out of it as if nothing happened.

I'm worried that this may happen more in the future, especially in crucial game play situations as it has happened for me many times in lane. (call me bad or whatever but I've had multiple times where I felt 100% sure I should have been able to get a kill, but was stopped from doing so with this new pathing around minions making my champion run sporatically in different directions. My Diamond friends also agree that they would have been able to get a lot of kills in the old summoners rift's pathing, and that there's something weird about this new maps pathing)

Of course if nothing has changed with the pathing at all and is 100% the same, then I'm just bad and never noticed how bad I was and are looking for excuses for being a baddie.

Did pathing change? Can it be fixed? I know the map is in beta and a lot of fixes are is being rolled out, maybe this could be added to the list of fixes?

Does anyone else experience this issue?

The creep blocking is real.

I get stuck between the turret and wall on a regular basis when I autopath.
