Suggestion: A warning indicator for "impossible" movement commands

Dengeden··8 votes·700 views

The thing that makes creep block (or trying to position yourself near walls) the (sometimes gamechanging) annoyance that it is, is that you often don't notice your champion can't directly reach their destination. It'd be nice to have some sort of indicator other than your minimap that tells you, "hey, I'm gonna hafta move around that". Something like the screen or the cursor changing color briefly.

Why not just show the same movement line they have on the minimap but instead between your cursor and your champion? It would be slightly more detailed because the line would go around minions and such instead of just the strait lines on the minimap.

I didn't want to propose anything that might clutter up the screen but that would be an unnoticeable enough. Good idea, it'd offer more clarity.

I think they should just implement a feature where when minions are clumped together and you can't move through them, they gain a light tint of a color (Blue/Red/Green) or something along that lines. I can't name how many times I've died because I got super creep blocked and my champ got mad confused and kept trying to get through them.

I'm not saying that it's not due to me being bad. That's entirely a possibility. However, I feel like this is just something that honestly, in the moment of trying to escape, won't make too much of a difference, but would at least let you know.

Again, I didn't want to put forward something that changes the game too much because of potential spaghetti code ... but that's a pretty good idea too.

They should fix the pathing itself first, it's even less fun to get randomly rooted because your champ can't navigate around single unit.

Considering that creep block got worse when they tried to fix it, I was hoping for the next best thing. I.e. the game at least warns us when it's going to screw us over.
