Minimap does not display accurately

While playing in a ranked a looong time ago, I noticed how the minimap's rectangle that shows where your screen is doesn't accurately depict what you actually see. For example, you can place the rectangle so that a champion is inside it clearly but wont show up on your actual screen. The cause of this is that the rectangle is a depiction of a top-down view where in league of legends you are actually viewing the map from an angle.

I'm not sure how to attach pictures so I just linked it from the last time I posted Notice how in the pictures Katarina, even though on the minimap she is supposed to appear on your own screen, is clearly not in view or covered up by a piece of the HUD

In order to fix this the rectangle needs to be changed to more of a trapezoid that widens out the farther up the screen you are and narrows towards the bottom, as you always view from that "blue side" angle

Interesting feedback, and good catch. I'll pass along the info, since this is a bit deceptive.
