Remove minion block entirely (at least for allied minions.)

I can't think of a single reason why you should get blocked by minions, It adds absolutely nothing to the game besides being an annoyance. 99% of the time it will only make you fuck up a sidestep, not be able to land that one auto attack to finish off a cannon or champion, and will most of the time just annoy you.

I understand that enemy unit collision helps you, minions block the enemy's path so they don't just run at you. But why the hell do your ALLIED minions block you? I've lost count of the times I would have lived if those god damned imps hadn't blocked and fucked up my pathing so i end up walking or not being able to walk away from a Lux ult, losing cannons because my champion just runs in circles trying to figure out how to walk around the damn minions.

I understand collision with allied champs, that way the tanks can't just stack up on the squishiest person to deny targetting. But minions? Give me a break Riot.

Vote all you want. Not gonna happen, buddy. No matter how logical and beneficial this suggestion is, making this game better isn't high on the radar at the moment.

CS negation for tanks would become too effective; sit on a cannon minion as the enemy laner is trying to last hit, and they won’t be able to target the minion.

You can't think of a single reason? Okay, here's three:

Teemo Chogath Blitzcrank.

Teemo because this fucker could literally sit inside a super minion and become actually immune to autos while the super minion was alive.

Cho'gath because he could just sit on top of a cannon minion to deny it to you, because you'd be physically incapable of attacking it.

Blitzcrank as representing all champions with a skillshot that can be stopped by minions. Removing allied minion block removes the downsides to hiding behind minions against him and all champions like him - You cannot easily hard-engage through your own minion line.

While champions smaller than super minions, larger than cannon minions, and champions with skillshot stopped by minions exist, allied minion block is vital.

Pathing is also garbage in this game, which contributes to the problem

There is only one reason why I would want to keep allied minion blocking and that is to click into my own cannon wave as tahm kench so the enemy team will have to watch in horror as my champion squirms, fidgets, and twitches in agony. Tahm kench is being ripped apart through dimensions for everyone`s sins and all that are on the rift should fear the rapture that is coming from his husk of a living being.

playing melee is so painful when you try to escape a range bully and they block you and you get hit 3 more times at least

Riot seems to forget that they buffed champs like Yasuo with unit collision

Don't remove unit collision. Force minions to fucking MOVE out of an allied champion's way.
