Creepblock...

I don't mind it honestly. If it's enemy creepblock. But honestly, what the hell does allied creep block bring to the game? It happens too often. It's rarely the difference between a life and death scenario, but it still is too much. Not to mention it's complete aids for melee toplaners (who are already weak enough) because if they ever go up to trade, they find themselves squirming around their allied minions when leaving the trade, and then, as a result, being pelted with 2-5 more gnar or kennen autos. Can this get changed soon please?

If allied minion block didn't exist, champions could stand directly on their minions and deny CS. It would make playing vs a champ who can bully/zone you a nightmare.

It's a very dated design. I honestly have no idea why it hasn't been removed yet tbh. Atleast remove the chance of collision with your own minions.

Melee toplaners aren't weak, out of the 10 best top laners 8 are melee (7 if you count Kayle as ranged). It's not ranged as much as it's Kennen and Jayce being strong. Anyway, I believe the stated reason is so people can't just hide inside minion waves all the time. Right now only a very select few champions can do that, but they usually have smaller models. Imagine a reasonably stacked Cho'Gath sitting on top of the minions, you'd not be able to CS at all. Now if that would ACTUALLY turn out like that is a different question, and sadly we can't try it unless Riot gives us the tools to give everyone permanent ghosting effect.

I think one reason is to keep people from hiding in their own waves. Which can be lame when you're a skillshot reliant champ. That being said you can always control the minion waves to help with that. Not sure if the QOL for some champs is worth everybody tripping on their minions.
