[Gameplay] Pathing issue with new jungle camps

Bug: Gameplay, Minor

So while I was jungling last night as Master Yi, I noticed that 2 camps in particular (possibly others but didn't get a chance to reproduce) will trap you behind the camps unable to escape based on where you land with Alpha Strike. The two camps in question are Gromp and the Krugs. I first noticed when I went to get Krugs and alpha striked, only to land against the wall and the big Krug. When my bottom lane was under attack, I immediately tried to stop taking the Krugs and go assist, only find I could not move past the big Krug. It blocked me as if I was stuck behind Player Made Terrain (like Anivia's Icewall). Once I killed the Krug I was able to move past. The same situation also occurs if Alpha Strike drops you against the wall behind Gromp.

It's easy enough to avoid this by dragging the camp out, but could have negative impact on gameplay if, say, the enemy jungler or team finds you stuck behind Krug or Gromp.

How to reproduce:

  1. Pick Master Yi (incase it matters, I was using Ionian Master Yi skin)
  2. Auto on Krugs to start agro (I smite as soon as I hit it for the buff, so this may also play in).
  3. Use Alpha Strike, focusing the initial jump on the big Krug (Krug is easiest to reproduce on). --3a. If you land behind big Krug and against the wall, you're now in the proper position. --3b. If you land on top of or in front of big Krug and are not against the wall, you are not in proper position.
  4. Try walking away from Krug. If reproduced correctly, you should find yourself stuck trying to walk around Krug but unable to, either twitching back and forth between two tiles or in a small circle between Krug and the wall.

This just happened to me trying to escape a team fight, I flashed the wall to get away from the enemy team and ended up stuck until the enemy team came and killed me.
