Creep aggro is antifun and frankly extremely toxic

Good games give players opportunity for counter play. LoL fails to do this when laning to a degree that's honestly disgusting. Considering the melee vs ranged matchup. Creep damage alone is effectively enough to zone the melee champ. They are freely harassed by ranged champs and cannot trade because they would be moving into creep aggro. If the only meaningful opportunity for counterplay hinges on your jungler helping you, or the enemy making a mistake, the game has essentially said you are fucked by default. I had expected that one could trade with spells, but you can't. Targeted spells also draw creep aggro. Essentially my only option is to sit and wait. Can't last hit. Thats not fun. Thats just dumb. Trading is also out of the question. This only gets worse when the enemy player starts a slow push. Now there are so many creeps its certain death trying to play against the enemy. And if you just go for last hits they get to harass you at their leisure.

fuck no. without minion aggro, ranged champions would literally be allowed to do whatever the hell they wanted.

especially as a melee champion, if youre able to quickly waveclear, and stack up your own minion waves, you can deny your opponent free poke onto you.

minion aggro is a mechanic that you can play around like any other in the game. the general rule is not to try and fight your opponent in a large enemy minion wave, and utilize your own minion waves to your advantage in trades.

Agreed, especially how unfair it works. Some skills draw aggro while some don't, simply for no reason

I mean ranged vs melee is definitely an issue, but I don't think creep damage is the reason. Managing waves and deciding to fight when you have the wave is a good form of skill expression

I see where your coming from though about how any champ with AoE can just have free reign on you.
