hundreds of games ive watch this happen.. i mostly play melee champions. and whenever im vs range they can just sit back and auto attack me 3/4 times in a row and take what? one caster minion agro and thats it. but god forbid i auto attack them once all hell breaks lose. the enemy minions chase and attack me until i go under tower or to a damn bush. the melee to range matchups are so fucking one sided early game its ridiculous. make minions chase ranged champions too like they do melee. like come the fuck on. shits unfair as hell.

It's actually kinda sad, whenever I'm against a ranged matchup as Kat (which, let's face it, is most of them in mid), when I go in for a Q-E-Auto trade, I take nearly as much damage back from creeps, but they can just walk up and auto attack me whenever, and all that happens is they pull the wave closer to their side of the map, and then the minions get bored and go back to what they were doing.

Almost like its fair, if we take in mind that many melee midlaners has early powerspike(Zed, Talon, Fizz, Diana, Akali, Ekko, Kata, Rumble(lvl3 lol)), where it becomes really hard to come near cs even for mid range mages.

Can this stop being posted please? I see this at least once a month. There is no correlation between attack range and provocation of minion aggro, that is a fact and no amount of arguing or replays will get around that.

Instead of dividing melee and ranged champions even more we should be uniting and discussing how minion aggro is extremely RNG in the first place regardless of range, you can attack someone once and multiple minions will literally chase you into your turret, or you can attack someone 5 times in a row and the minions will ignore you. It has nothing to do with range (stop saying it does) it is simply that the system as a whole is completely random and needs an overhaul.

Well there is supposed to be an inherent advantage in terms of early poke when vs ranged as a melee champion. That much makes sense. Why wouldn't someone with 550 range not sit there and auto-attack you? I'm going to assume that you're talking about Akali since it's in your name. She's had tools in her kit to make up for this. Doran's Shield really helps you stay healthy enough early while in lane and based on your match history, you rarely build it. Also, you can hard push the lane to force the enemy to focus on waveclearing instead of focusing on you. However, be wary when doing that because if your laner has a lot of waveclear early, they can freeze the wave under their turret.
