WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

The only time minion block is actually a problem is when you literally cannot move and you're standing there glitched in place. Otherwise, it's your fault for not taking minions into consideration. There is minion block so that players cannot stand in the middle of a huge minion wave and make it impossible for a Blitzcrank, Thresh, Lux, Morgana, Braum, etc etc to hit with a skillshot.

I also champion block my minions so that my caster minions reach lane .5 seconds later than the rest of the minions so that the lane pushes on me, making the enemy laner miss cs if they are B. The hitboxes would be so fucked up if people could stand inside of minions. You'd have overlapping hitboxes, meaning more people would get Blitz grabbed through minions, more people would get cucked because they cannot hit somebody with skillshots, and would ultimately ruin flow of the game for half the champs.

Minion collision has been in the game for 7 years, now suddenly it's a problem. It's one of two things.

  1. Impatient kids who go for kills and don't account for minion blocking, then die

  2. New players who don't like dying to "bullshit" When in reality all you have to do is be aware that you cannot walk through minions and you wouldn't have this problem.

It's part of the game. Nobody likes being minion blocked, just as nobody likes being chain-cc'd, but it's part of the game. Riot is not going to add a "Chain-CC breaker" just because you don't like being chain-cc'd.

I have yet to master the art of tower diving, and get in trouble for it sometimes. But I hate to be killed by one.

You honestly just have to get a feel for the situation. Your damage, mobility, and health vs their damage, tower damage, mobility, and health.

Oh yeah that's why I refer to it as an art, to do it right it takes skill. I do it sometimes, but get grief when I don't see or capitalize on it. It's a double edged sword so many whiners, you're damned if you do and damned if you don't. Don't get me wrong there are times where I really don't like what the other player did, but to point it out in chat to satisfy your own ego is way below me.

False. item 3046 use to let champions move through minions, it did not grant immunity from the mentioned skillshots.

They changed how Minion Collision worked at the beginning of the season, in a way that made it worse than before, and while they reverted the changes it hasn't been uncommon every few patches to see it act up again.

I wasn't aware ADC's bought PD in laning phase. Teach me more. I wasn't aware they every champ bought PD in the first place.
