As a melee champion, you're always battling an additional variable in lane

Creep block and here's a hint: it keeps getting worse. Can we please have a rioter express anything related to it? Clearly it's something everyone notices. I'm not asking for it to be removed, just for it to not be so awful. And it's especially difficult for melees and attempting to last hit or trade.

always? u ain't rite tho hatedaddy, because Fizz exists with his incredibly meaningful and important passive that allows him to ignore creep block! haha!

In all seriousness though I agree with you, creep block is only exacerbating the problems of melee v ranged matchups

it's been ruining my bot lane as Taric lately lmao

i'll try to line up a stun and then miss because I suddenly start pathing around my own creeps, and then I get buttfucked in the trade right after

At least Taric doesn't mind getting buttfucked I guess ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

it keeps getting worse

How is it getting worse? There haven't been any changes to it, aside from the experimental shit they tried for like a month and then reverted a long time ago.

Creep block is frustrating, sure, but it's the same as it has been for years. And like I said, they tried making changes, but they only made it worse. So, sorry but you just gotta deal with it

It's definitely not been the same. It varies from patch to patch but the last few patches, it's felt especially brutal. Just because there aren't known changes regarding it doesn't mean indirect changes can't impact it, after all Riot constantly has bugs in their game

There is a thing called positioning, you should try it out sometime. All you have to do is not walk through minions while your trying to do the thing that you want to do. I hear all the pros do this positioning all the time.

I'm Bronze 2 and I started playing at the beginning of s6. I want to improve and I know that the truth hurts, I have gotten creep block and I still need to learn how to avoid it more, but at least I have identified a problem to improve.

Verdade1 votes

That's the attitude! If there is a problem, you shouldn't whine about it on forums and reddit, you should go and learn how to solve it/play around it.

Btw. a little hint: creep block is very closely tied to creep aggro. Mastering minion aggro mechanics will win you many lanes, especially in early game.

Oh, I know about minion aggro, use it when i play ap Kog'Maw mid. Minion aggro and Kog'Maw's Q are a nasty combo for assassins and shorter range mages that try to get close. Add on Deathfire Touch and the enemy quickly loses 1/3 of their health. [slayer-pantheon-thumbs]

you know i don't mind creep blocking, but i do; why?

cause a tiny fucking creep can block you, BUT A WHOLE FUCKING CHAMP SO BIG LIKE BLITZ CANT BLOCK PEOPLE TO SAVE THEIR MATE.

I have had creep block so bad I had to actually decide if my OWN minions would make the trade bad. Out-trading a ranged champ that got too close becomes less punishing if you spend 5 seconds twisting and turning through melees as your laner wails on you.

Verdade1 votes

what are you people going to complain about next? Towers blocking blocking your movement, so you always get caught by skillshots when moving between them and wall? Complaining about drawing minion aggro by attacking enemies? Yeah, let's just make minions un-interactable! What a nice idea

Minion collision was there since S1 and it's fine.

Jet Sett1 votes

It has become worse in season 6 and was even noted by many players that it changed.

Verdade1 votes

So why don't you learn to play around it? It's clearly crippling to EVERYONE, so if you learn how to deal with it you should climb ranks like never before...

I was kicking some serious ass one day in bot lane, poking a dude under his tower. Then it happened, I got tower agro but they did not cc me.. it was my minions, they formed a line and were not about to let me to safety. Thankfully I had flash and did not hesitate. Lesson of the day is keep an eye on your minions, they will form a wall that would impress even the best wall builder.

When your own minions make you take extra turret shots When you ult with Sona or someone else with hard CC, but can't make it in time because of minions When pathing redirects you around minions and you cant last hit the siege minion

"When pathing redirects you around minions and you cant last hit the siege minion" ^^^^^^^^^^^^This Right HERE^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Is one of the most annoying things I have encountered recently. Aside from plat and diamond players playing their friends silver accounts to get them to gold (Which many of them have openlenly admitted to in post game chat). But seriously I cant tell you how many times I have missed a seige minion becuase my champ has to walk all the fricken way around to hit it. Even on Malz when I am witholding spell casting in order to last hit and hold lane...becuase my attack range is shorter, malz slowly walks his way around and loses the gold. I dont care if you are 0-5 or 5-0 , if you dont have farm by mid to late game you are going to be behind. And every last hit counts to being ahead of your lane. Minions are the real Trundle here.

Untill you get creep blocked when kiting. It happens for ranged champions too.
