Allied minions should move out of the way when you walk into them.

I was ruminating about how angry I am for dying to an opponent in top lane when my minions made a makeshift baron pit behind me to kill me, when I remembered a glorious mod that I have for Skyrim called something like "Move bitch!" The idea behind it was to move those annoying npc's that block doorways out of the way so that you don't get stuck. League should have that built into allied minions so that you don't get stuck due to terrible auto pathing.

It feels like minions take up more space on this patch, and it is infuriating. Perhaps I'm just crazier than I thought and unit collision is no worse than it used to be, but it sure seems like it's been getting steadily worse since last preseason and the new Rift.

Or just FREAKING REMOVE CREEP BLOCK! It's not really that crucial to the game.

I actually am ok with Minion Block existing. There have been so many times where I only walked away because I cut to the other side of the minions the moment I passed the wave, and my opponents pathing pulled him into the minions. You can also do messed up things with the grab toons (I.G. Blitz, Darius, Thresh) where you can drag them across a minion to cut off any retreat option. Look at it like a chess game. You are worried about your opponents rooks and knights until you realize you also have rooks and knights. No one has advantage except the individual who realizes that it can be taken advantage of.

I played Kayle top lane and it felt like I was trying to maneuver a barge.

I agree. With how "damage-focused" this new patch is, I feel it's necessary to increase the ability to counterplay. Minions are asses to deal with sometimes, if not most of the time.

OMFG THIS!!! THEY ARE MINIONS, WE ARE NOT! This is such a good idea omfg.

I actually got stuck on inhib tower debris and my own minions a bit ago. Luckily I was playing Jarvan IV and we had a huge lead, so I was tanky enough to sit there under fire for like 10 seconds until I could swagflag out of there. Still gay, if that happened to an ADC it could've been gamechanging because of a bug.

It seems like a very simple solution to this would be to make a boot upgrade like homeguard or distortion that allows you to pass through units. Though I have to agree with the general consent that minions are minion blocking a hell of a lot harder since the patch. I would definite prefer a revert on whatever it was that's causing this to happen.

As long as this does not disrupt the minion's auto attacking this may be a great idea.

It would require the rework of 50+ champs whose abilities only affect first target hit. Ahri Ashe Corki DrMundo Ekko Elise Ezreal Gnar to name a few.

Also massive buff to dozens of melee champs which would need reassessment as well.

I don't see how it's happening.

Minion block is definitely worse on this patch. I'm not sure what happened, but there are so many times that I'm forced to go all the way around minions now whereas before I could sneak through them (albeit with some awkward pathing).

I was playing a game and this naut tried to AA the turret but a crowd of minions wouldnt even allow him to pass through to AA lmao

I think it's crazy that minions (our own minions at that) bodyblock and yet we can't bodyblock with champions.

If you've played Heroes of the Storm, you know bodyblocking is a thing. It's weird at first, but it adds a new level of gameplay and it's actually kind of fun. Kind of stupid when a stupid murloc prevents a demon lord from walking in a straight line (Just trample him, wtf) but hey, it's fun to do.

When I played a match the other day this happened to me lol minions formed a massive wall in front of enemy mid tower and I couldn't get close enough to attack it, I had to walk all the way around.

What will happen with this is that this will be used to disrupt minions balance in lanes, disrupt your minion's attacks so that the enemy minions kill them faster. This would basically be another Advance Technique in lane controlling.

Too many minions in your side of the map? Walk through them to disrupt their attacks.

I can see this being a good idea, but i can't help but think that while they minions are moving out of your way, they could possibly end up getting in someone else's way (like approaching team mates or the like).

I agree with this or atleast be able to move threw our own minnions ,theres so much to be calculated in this game that this minion thing just snags me up

WolfBV11/15/2015, 7:17:13 PM1 votes

When it happens to an enemy is hilarious, but to you, not so much. Reminds me of when the enemy Ashe was pushing an inhib and his minions form a literal wall behind her so she couldn't leave and I could just jump on her XD

Or we can make all champions walk through minions. EZ FIX.
