Riot why can some champs poke with ranged Auto attacks/Spells and not draw minion aggro?

This is someone I see with Champs with SLOW Auto attacks or spells that SHOULD draw minion aggro.

and are the ones that are really annoying but others can do it too.

Their Auto attack (or like Teemo Q) is so slow travel time that by the time it hits you they are far back of their minion wave and my minions do nothing.

The WHOLE point of changing Minion aggro was to prevent this kind of uninteractive Poke.

These are not Skill shots, these are point and click and minions stand around doing nothing.

Teemo can Move in and out auto attacking over and over and not draw minion aggro.

This is a real issue with the Teemo changed you had on the PBE because he can Q>Auto then back and not get minion aggro but just did 30% of your HPs at early levels.

Minions aggro range needs to be way bigger and they need to react way faster.

Teemo always had a slow projectile speed, even before the PBE. And this was always his primary way of bullying someone out of the lane, it's his primary advantage.

Slow projectile speed comes with its own set of disadvantages.

Harder to judge when to efficiently last hit, especially when a bunch of minions decides to focus fire. When trying to keep your minions on your side of the lane the goal is to kill them at their lowest possible health. Slow projectile speed makes this goal much harder.

Have to wait longer to get back into tower-range when attempting to poke someone under the tower, in the case of Teemo it's much harder due to the dot as well.

Abilities that block projectiles or autos such as Yasuo windwall, Pantheon Shield bash or Shen's W ability has that much more time to react to them.
