Yeah this doesn't add anything healthy or beneficial to the game. It just creates extremely frustrating moments.

If death is the best CC, creep block earns second place.

######I know I didn't play in this clip very well but that doesn't change the problem creep block poses.

At least remove allied blocking with champions.

I can kinda get why we have allied minion block or minion blocking in general, but getting blocked by allied champions and end up eating a skillshot to the face because of it is the most aggravating thing ever.

I want a champ who has a new skill:

R Minion Pheromone - Causes a target enemy champion to become irresistable to his own minions for 5 minutes. Every minion he comes across within 550 range during this period will drop whatever they are doing to follow him for the entire duration.

I don't think the problem is with creep block all the time, its when you get some kind of bugged out or something where it can't path you through the minions at all, and then you are basically cc'd for a few seconds. Getting stuck having to weave in and out is one thing, being trapped in them with no way out is another.

To be fair, that Cho'Gath:

  1. Ran right into the creeps
  2. Canceled his AA at least four times

Yeah, I'm a relatively new player and this is why I'm 99% sure I'll never find a melee hero that I like, and therefore never play top or jungle. I feel like every time I try to play a melee hero that looks interesting, I just get stuck on everything in the lane. At least with ranged heroes I'm usually behind my creep wave and therefore get stuck a lot less.

Even then there's always that moment once in awhile where my ranged character gets stuck on a single allied minion for 2 seconds while going somewhere. I guess the pathfinding tries to make us go around each other on the same path repeatedly.

You need creep block against melee champs.

If you dont want to be creep blocked then build phantom dancer. You are supposed to be in disadvantage for being a melee.

To be fair, they tried a while ago, but they made it worse.

Yes, creep block needs to be removed. Especially as an Urgot player, its become nothing more than infuriating.

They should at least make it so you don't collide with ally minions, considering half (at least) the time I die to minion block its due to my own minions.

Is it supposed to add an element where you have to think about your pathing while csing or something? I literally always forget the purpose of this garbage mechanic.

It's just annoying since it's not predictable. I used to hover further away from the minion before lasthitting when creep block wasn't major issue and pathing was more clear-cut(S3,S4), and in-turn, take less harass. But now with creep block/pathing being garbage, I have to hover closer to the minion to account for my pathing randomly getting fucked up, and in-turn take more harass/poke.

This might be said lower down but I feel that minions should move themselves out of the way of champion paths when there are a certain concentration of them. Minions obviously can see what path your champion wishes to take so they should be able to part when necessary.

creep block was amplified a few years ago for no reason, then they nerfed it a bit again the next patch to its current levle which is still a joke

Look, it's a very simple matter of logic in my mind.

If ranged babies champions don't have turn rates, then melee champions don't have ally unit collision.

If micro was a thing in League, I could see Creep Block as being a thing; trap people in your horde through careful manipulation.

But it isn't, you can't ,and this is bullshit.

Raoul10/16/2017, 2:25:55 PM3 votes

the problem isnt really that creeps can block, its taht even the small minions sometimes seem to have a 100 stack Cho Gath collision size...

Honestly, they block so hard, its not even fun...

On two occasions I have had Vladimir literally be immobilized by a ring of minions in top lane. Click any direction and he doesn't even turn.

Every 10th game I will lose a chase because my character randomly spazzes out walking past minions.

Kloqdq10/16/2017, 2:21:25 PM2 votes

Ally minions? No, they should never block you. I can already go through allies so why the hell does my minions stop me. Enemies though? Yeah those can still block me because they are enemies. That makes sense to me.

Janna-Hold on, we have vocal audio from the Cho'gath coming in now. Putting it through now.
