Not to beat the dead horse, but I’m legitamtely dying because of creep block at least once a week

Seriously, it is totally out of control. Something has to be done.

Simply because of creep block: i am dying simply because I get stuck in creeps and can’t retreat or even move in position to CC/escape enemy pursuit; I’m missing out on creeps because they legit send my character into convulsions trying to navigate through and last hit; I constantly get denied kills due to creeps preventing me from closing in on a low HP target.

It seriously needs to be changed. This also does not include the batshit AI they have where they randomly target you but not an enemy despite absorbing a single target spell within their range; the way they decide to line up under tower and completely reverse course, completely dicking over last hitting; and even the way they focus other minions at random, which also screws up last hitting. Like creep block, minion AI is completely unpredictable at times, and I’m at the point where I just deny myself potential advantages because I don’t want to risk wonky minion AI or creepblock screwing it up.

To say this is a problem that is greatly effecting quality of life gameplay would be the understatement of the year. Imagine playing Cho’Gath and being 2 buildings tall but tripping on ants.

I'm not sure it's minion block as much as it's probably just the pathing of the game at this point.

IDK how many times iv'e clicked one spot, and my champ does 5 other fucking things before moving to that click. "lemme just go back, sideways, 1 hop this time, back it up now yall, ok now i'll go to that original click".

Like ill go to last hit a minion, I'm standing perfectly still, the minion is literally in my auto attack range, i click the minion, my champ walks fucking sideways and around invisible objects apparently, and then misses that fucking last hit because 'HUR DUR DURURURUR i gotta walk like a fucking weirdo for no reason".

Pathing + Creep Block man. Both have definitely gotten worse over time, and people refuse to admit that their wonderful perfect game isn't so fuckin perfect.

IDK how many times I've clicked on a spot and the pathing wants to take me halfway across the map.

Being blocked by units is a mechanic in League of Legends. There are items, abilities and even summoners that let you pass through minions, but if you don't want to or simply can't use them, you have to work with what you have. Of course, being immobilized by a single minion besides a wall is not intended and should be treated as bug, but you should not be able to just walk through minion waves.

You’re acting as if it hasn’t significantly gotten worse, and that this itself isn’t a bug. Minion block did not used to be this bad, not even close. I do not expect to be able to freely walk through minions but I also don’t expect minions to CC me for 10 seconds

There is a difference between minions blocking a pathway and you have to slightly curve around them, and minions surrounding you making your character freak the hell out and even sometimes hard ccing you because reasons

A stupid mechanic that shouldn't exist.

No one (who knows a thing about balance) is saying you should be perma ghosted.

What people are saying, is that the coding for pathing through minions needs to change, so that champs aren't stuck spinning because a minion decided to move over.

I am still thinking that a small rune should be added like approach velocity, but instead of movement speed, a Ghost status effect is triggered for 1.5~2 secs.

Allied minions should never be able to block you. that's horseshit and needs to go.

The amount of times I've gotten stuck on allied minions and lost a fight is shocking.

Enjoy never being able to last-hit a cannon minion ever again, or never being able to land a skillshot in lane. That Renekton is just gonna stand on his cannon minion and when you try to punish him he's gonna take take 1 step back and let the minions take the hit instead.

instead of ghosting, have allied minions just move around you.

Speaking of minion AI.. I swear canons are programmed to randomly switch target to deny as much farm as possible lol

Do you play extremely passive? I play almost exclusively melee top lane and it's a meme in my friend group about how often I get creep blocked and complain about it. It's at least once per game or every other game that either I'll get creep blocked or minion AI will spaz out and break my freeze by walking under my turret.

You should clip the occurrences together and submit it

I have never experienced block this season. In any lane honestly.

I don't think they changed anything I just never witness it
