So was just in a game and I had minions effectively block me in and I could not move at all, I was effectively rooted in place. I have never experienced this before and was wondering if anyone else has gotten this.
"Allied minions", kek k.
Yup I was playing ashe and I got trapped in a minion wave. I couldn't move I just stood there freaking out
This was 5.22, but I had a Yi trap himself inside my Garen's body with Alpha strike and keep me rooted for like, the 4 seconds it took him to kill 5 slot garen with W up.
Rageblade is silly.
Yup, minion block is deadly in any lane near the edges of the river on top/bot. the problem sometimes is when they follow the enemy and stop to attack them, if you're too close to the wall with them they leave you trapped sometimes till they move, die or you desperately flash the hell out of there.
I think the raptors in the jungle make that happen as well if you pounce in with nidalee in cat form. those raptors sometimes close you in perfectly and you need to pounce right outta there if an enemy comes sailing in.
I'm definitely not a fan of it. Espescially when there's a huge wave, they'll lock you in if there's a crowd around you as you go up the lane and they stop. it's just enough that the enemy can freely AA you with range and run outta there while you sit and take the hits.
Any time Two waves bundle up I give them a wide berth now until they fix on an objective, and even then they become a literal wall as they surround the target.
if it's a thing Riot done on purpose, I'm not a fan of it. your own allies shouldn't be able to kill your mobility in that way.
I have had it pretty bad in the past but I just saw an all new level of creep block fail. A wave of our minions was pushing towards enemy inhib tower bot and one minion was so blocked off by the others it detoured INTO the JUNGLE and traveled until the next exit to rejoin at the front of the creep wave and actually get somewhere. That is pretty bad...
"Fixed minion block"
Hah
I think I've seen it 3 times in the past week. Minion block has gotten way worse in the preseason patch for whatever reason.
I thought they were addressing this in the patch haha, I got surrounded by minions at enemy turret and literally was running in circles until the enemy jg came and killed me. My friend got surrounded while taking the inhib turret and the pathing made him run all the to mid lane to escape. Those traitorous lil bastards have got me killed several times!
I keep getting rooted by them....and by towers when i tp like wtf.
Jumped over wall to attack Krugs, then I got pinned against the wall and nearly died from it.
You get used to it. You get used to the rage. You get used to being almost killed under tower because a wave decided to set up shop around you.
I love those little guys, normally, but until Riot fixes up their hit boxes they're my main enemies.
I did. My champ literally had a seizure.
I had a fed tahm dive me under turret one time, the minions made a big circle around him and the turret slowly killed both his healthbars while he was just running around trapped.
Minion block does not rock.
As of 5.23, I've seen minions get rooted by minions. They occasionally just stand there, facing their base and just stay like that for about 10 seconds.
I saw a low health enemy amidst a few of our minions, flashed into him as Skarner , ulted him and was completely unable to drag him towards my team, playing the game in this patch is just making me angry beyond reasoning
Minions are really messed up right now, not just creep blocking but their AI. My friends and I saw the craziest thing ever a couple days ago. Our team was winning and we took all 3 inhibs. Little bit later we aced the enemy team with all 3 lanes pushed up, there was like 10-15 super minions and hordes of lesser minions stacked around the enemy nexus. We all just stood there waiting for them to end it, then when the enemy nexus got to about 200hp they all just stopped, they stopped moving, they stopped attacking, they stopped doing anything. We had to actually walk all the way into the enemy base(luckily we weren't too far away) and around the giant minion pile to end the game ourselves. I've also seen on a few occasions the minion waves get so big and blocky that minions have to walk through the jungle to get to the front of the lane, resulting in some weird wave physics like 2 or 3 minions stalling out an opposing minion wave behind the turret while the 2 or 3 other waves stacked together take the turret. I've lost kills because of the creep block and I've gotten killed because of the creep block, same goes for farming. In the 2 years I've been playing I've never seen such insane minion physics/ai/blocking.
Everyone is complaining about crit meta or yasuo meta or whatever. That's all just a cover though, the real meta lurking in the shadow is the minion meta. Soon enough League will play itself and us players won't be needed anymore. Minions will soon gang up and farm champions(champions score). All hail our winion overlords! Even turrets will crumble to their might!
Happy minion worshipping! -Vaz-
It's happened, but a loooong ass time ago.
Yeah, allied minions blocked me in when I was trying to run a few games ago as Kindred. Had to use Q to get out, but by that time the enemy had caught up to me and I died mid jump. :<
The creep block is making it even more difficult to fight off ranged toplaners right now
i got rooted... by a tower... there were no minions around....
Meanwhile, Fizz is stronger than ever!
Hehe...peasant problems
Had a game where allied Soraka flashed into the krugs during a retreat, got minion(krug) blocked, and executed since they were proc'd... funniest thing ever. She even asked for help before she died to krugs. The blocks are too strong for now.
