Minion Block has gotten so bad, that the minions are blocking each other now.

Sadly I didn't record this since it was so predictable but a couple of games ago, I was about to be dived by the enemy Kennen but he backed off. My minions who chased after him got stuck on her other. About 3 melee's and a caster in a diamond formation just trying to wiggle free of each other.

The worse part is that when it happened I didn't think "WTF!" or ask why did it happen, I was just thankful it wasn't me in the middle of the 3 melees.

Minion block should be conditional. Friendly minions should never block you, because you're on the same team. Enemy minions should continue to block you, because they hate you.

That way if I jump on someone in their own minions, they have a mobility advantage since I picked a bad time to attack. If I'm attacking a tower with a semi-circle of friendly caster minions behind me and someone shows up, I should be able to run straight back instead of having to navigate around an impromptu wall of my own minions.

My minions should never stop me from getting to the enemy minions to CS; but that's what happens sometimes when I right click on an almost dead minion and my champion has to walk the whole way around to get it and ends up being too late. Sometimes it's like my own minions are more of a burden than the enemy's, and that's not right.

You should post this on C&C .

This has been said many times...but what becomes of the power budget in champs kits or in items like PD that provide this as an effect?

BastionKrossOct 14, 20169 votes

Those abilities and items will still retain some value, since they would allow you to walk through enemy minions as well.

Besides, who's going to argue against a Fizz nerf?

Nah, just kidding, nerf him all you want.

If they lose enough power to be noticeable then doesn't that just further prove how much power minion block has and how big of an issue it is?

You see, this makes sense. Be weary of your enemies not your allies.

That moment when the friendly minions are better at denying you cs than the enemy laner is.

One important condition to this. If you're hitbox is colliding with an ally minion hitbox (the amount of required shared space can be worked out as to not feel awful) when it is hit by a single target skillshot (Ezreal Q) you also get hit by the ability.

This is quite simply to stop people from hiding from skillshots inside their minions, because without this change you would need to completely re-balance every champion with a single target skillshot.

Also realized while typing this that it would require revisions to single targeting, the game would become near unplayable for anyone who didn't use minion only or champion only targeting commands.

I fed a 10 kill streak shutdown to someone the other day because my own fucking minions caged me in when I was trying to get away. Frankly, I'm ready to call for a complete removal of allied-minion clipping, it's so fucking shitty to die like that.

How is it getting worse over time? Unless Riot is changing it without saying anything then refusing to post in threads about it?

LeonerdoOct 14, 20162 votes

Minion Block has gotten so bad...

It hasn't changed, at all. They tried changing it once. And they spent a patch or two tweaking it. But they still didn't like it, so they reverted it back to the way it has always been.

Man, we gotta fight for caster minion equality. can't have Warrior Minions beat up the poor caster like that!

In one of my games today, there was a line of caster minions attacking the inhib turret, but the cannon minion couldnt decide where to go, so he just kept walking to one side to the other while not being able to attack anything. Is this dumb behavior supposed to happen? lol

Yeah it has. A while back they did minion block changes that made things way way worse, they toned it back a little, and now it's in between the two but due to changes with minion aggro it fucked up minion block really hard for allied minions. I never get stuck on enemy minions.
