Personally, this is quite annoying to deal with. @Zed/Orianna/whoever else

Alright, so I'll be going against a zed or Orianna ,whether it be mid lane or bot lane or wherever, they'll try to poke me down(such as all mid laners should do), while they're doing this, they'll either put their shadow or ball on top of the minions(not intentionally of course), and so, when I try to cs that minion, it won't let me. I can't click on the minion because Orianna's ball or Zed's shadow is on top of the minion, I'll try to click on it, but the game thinks I'm trying to click on the ball/shadow.

It's a little thing, and perhaps it's intended, but it is quite annoying, and I feel it could be a pretty easy fix.

If there's any champions who I missed where this happens as well(possibly Azir now), feel free to type it in the comments. :D

Kinda weird how you can click on them in the first place imo. You can't do anything to the objects, so they shouldn't be clickable .-.

It didn't used to be like this, but they added a collision hit-box for those types of objects and that's when it started.

Unclear if that was an intended consequence, though. IIRC it was mostly about Thresh's lantern and making it easier to click on it even when foes were near or on top of it.

And they can still cockblock a lantern. /sigh

Yep.

Nothing these last few patches has been good or even satisfying. But that's how it's going to be, I guess.

Well... I kinda like the idea of blocking the lantern, otherwise their really wouldn't be any way to play against it :/

I was playing as Karma against a Yasuo top. Every time there was a canon minion, he would windwall right in front of it when it was low health, causing me to miss the minion. It was very annoying.

Well... thats kinda the point of the wall lmao

Origami KaijuSep 17, 20141 votes

I don't know man, I thought the purpose of the wall was defensive as it can protect yasuo and his team from nearly all projectile abilities and ultimates in the game. Purposefully being able to deny your ranged enemies cs seems like an overkill.

It can be... but I mean riot can't really do anything about that... As well, I do the same thing with syndra lmao, and as well Yasuo's wind wall uses nothing to cast it, so why not? lmao, guy was just being annoying, that's all :p

Origami KaijuSep 17, 20142 votes

Haha that's true. It's a pretty troll move, but what can you do? I guess I'm going to spam laugh next time it happens to me. Lol

While the minion clicking was addressed and fixed to an extent, it still leaves more to be desired. It is even worse when you have fatties like Gragas or Alistar in your lane. Can't hit a thing!

Actually, what if we took this to its logical extension?

Since we can apparently click on Orianna's ball and Zed's shadow, let us attack them and destroy them. Have Ori's ball take 4 ranged autos or 2 melee autos to kill, with its health being refilled whenever Orianna picks it up or uses Command: Protect on herself. If the Ball dies, it respawns in 5/4/3 seconds, affected by Cooldown Reduction. Do something similar with Zed's Shadows-when they get killed, they just disappear and Zed can't jump to them.
