Why does creep block get worse every few patches????

creep block got noticeably worse in patch 6.13, and it was already infuriating before. the impact on melee trading and csing is completely unreasonable.

genuinely wondering if creep block was intentionally implemented into the game. it's so painful.

Whoops, you just used a movement ability into a minion wave. Looks like you're stuck inside a minion for 3 seconds.

JK, the enemy killed you in 2 seconds while you were standing there shaking back and forth.

Right, creep block is genuinely stupid. A queen of frejlord, unable to push her minions aside. How preposterous is that?

Actually I don't even understand why this is in the game... They tried to remove a lot of random mechanism, but still this creep blocking is the most random thing in the world, it actually CAN lose your game, and it happened to me not only once.

Can you please just remove the creep block thing entirely and just let me walk through them?

Creep block is so obnoxious that being able to walk through units is considered op. GG rito

We have creep block in the definition of not being able to move through creeps at will, because if we didn't, anyone skillshot based would never have a chance to do anything. The enemy could just stand inside their minion wave and move around unhampered, without having to expose themselves to the enemy.

Kassadin what is this creepblock?

I personally like it. It adds more that you have to be aware of and keep in mind. It adds more skill-base to the game. I understand that frustration, as I myself have died from it. But overall, I think it'd be silly to just walk through them. It makes them more THERE. If that makes sense.

Right? My biggest beef is with Krugs. Show of hands, how many people flashed into Krugs' camp to avoid being chased only to be stuck behind these two mongoloids that even if attacked from behind refuse to get out of the way and you're stuck fighting them at low health just to run away?

What I would suggest as a solution would be to forcefully move your minions out of the way, similar to how you would push aside an NPC in Assassin's Creed, they keep doing their thing but slightly moved to the side.

I would be happy if unit collision didn't even exist. I personally cannot see a reason why it should. its super annoying to miss creeps or get stuck on a wall (or between creeps) or get stuck on another champion. The only benefit i can see to it is making the game more realistic.

Whats creep block?

Ironic to this post, they buffed creep block itself a couple patches ago. Everyone was having a laugh at how impossible it was to navigate through/around minions. Now it is infuriating.
