Let's talk about minion collision

So I'll try to keep in my rage, but minion collision is litteraly the worst thing in the entire game for me, except that it seems completely useless to me it's also really annoying and has killed me quite a lot of times. I know there are items and champion passives that take away unit collision, but I don't care about that. The only thing minion collision does is make you stuck between two minions because the game doesn't know how to comprehend a few little minions standing in your way, when you're trying to run away or chase someone but there's a minion wave in the way, you'll just keep trying to get past it left-right-left-right-left-right just pretty much stopping you in your path for a second or two. When you're pushing a turret and you want to fall back because you are getting ganked, it's not going to happen because YOUR mage minions have formed a solid wall making you have to walk around them giving the jungler a few more seconds to kill you while you're under their turret. There's not really a lot to add to this but I just wanted to get this off my mind.

P.S I'm not English, so I hope everything is understandable.

EDIT: I didn't know they were going to patch the path finding (It's about time...), so that will probably change a lot. This might actually fix the whole issue I have. But we will see...

EDIT 2: I'm only talking about walking into minions, not skillshots hitting minions...

I wouldn't mind keeping unit collision when running through enemy minions, but can we remove being blocked by our own minions for starters xD?

Unit collision fucks me up every time I play Draven, catching those axes becomes more of a chore than it should be when I keep getting stuck in the minion waves.

"I know there are items and champion passives that take away unit collision, but I don't care about that."

tl:dr I want to whine and complain about something that is already solved by a few items or champions in the game. Why should I have to utilize these tools that are already at my disposal?

Then I guess you dont pritorize the added benefit of the said items or champions do you? fizz is also another one

after a lot of thought, the only reason minion collision exists, is because of the remnant from DotA and the ability to block creeps to delay their entrance to lane so you can last hit easier and more safely or to pull them into a jungle camp to help manipulate a wave.

Since neither of those things are possible in League, I feel like minion collision (at least with friendly minions) should be removed.

I was playing against a Malphite top as Shen and i killed him by slapping him to death because HIS OWN MINIONS blocked him into me and he couldn't do anything about it.

I would like it if allied minions had smaller collision boxes than enemy minions.

Unit collision is a good thing. It adds strategic depth to the game. If you want to ignore it, bring Ghost, or build a Phantom Dancer. There's a reason that item is not convenient to build on every champion. Some champions benefit from the ability a lot more than others, and SHOULDN'T have easy access to it. If you really "don't care" about that, then keep tripping on minions. If you put yourself in a position where your minions have piled up behind you, and you can't escape a gank, that is not the minions' fault, but yours. It's annoying when minions block skillshots, too, but there's a reason only some of them ignore minions. Sad how everyone pointing out that this is how the game is SUPPOSED to work is getting a mass of downvotes.

Truth is, the real problem is with pathing. It's terrible in this game. But I heard somewhere that it's supposed to be getting an overhaul/upgrade.

Creep block is not an issue. Derp pathing is.

Well then in lane i can just stand on top of my minons and ignore every skill shot, easily, instead of having to walk around everywhere so you don't get hit by skill shots.
