Riot, Please fix the minion blocking

In no way should this be a meaningful part of the game. My minions should not create an impenetrable wall that makes me dance back and forth trying to path my way around them. I read a post that pathing was completely rewritten, I don't know if that has anything to do with it.

All I know is laning feels awful now. I get caught up on minions several times a game when it used to only happen once in a blue moon. I just don't see how making minions a wall you have to walk around improves the game, especially when you command your champion to go around them and you proceed to stutter back and forth between them.

If this was intentional, can you at least let us know the reasoning behind it? Someone had to change this, and I never read it in the patch notes. If it's an issue you're trying to resolve, can we get an acknowledgement that it exists?

Thanks
