Minion agro is retarded right now

Seriously, I get that you hate melee and you want to make our lives as miserable as possible Riot, but don't you think you can cut back on the constant anti-melee changes you add to this game every time you get a chance. Some bumblefrick ranged champion can sit there and auto you a couple hundred units away from creeps and take no agro, but heaven forbid you go up and melee autoattack them once, all of a sudden their melee minions go rambo on your ass and follow you all the way back to your tower.

Buff the Tough Skin mastery for Melee champions, perhaps?

Some melee champions might not grab it or even touch the resolve tree, but those "pure damage" types usually have enough mobility, cc, and/or defensive abilities to not have such a bad time facing a ranged champion. However, slowy tanks and juggernauts should feel rewarded for managing to close distance with the ranged champion rather than being eaten alive by minions of all things.

Minion aggro is bad for everyone in general. Ranged champions get close to even trades with melee champions who didn't trade one attack just because minions will follow you to your tower. Melees trying to farm benefit from this, and being naturally stronger than ranged they don't suffer as much from this damage during all ins as ranged champions do, but they do suffer heavily from creep block, which I think everyone by now has at least one story of dying because of minion block, maybe even facing a Riven that snowballed because you got stuck in a minion wave, or missing a kill because you got stuck in a minion wave. I just wish minions were less obnoxious like they used to be.

It does seem a little much.

It's so retarded... I've had a siege minion follow me to the tower...

The worst part of creep block is when you are trying to get to a target but the pathing takes you in the most indirect manner of getting there possible. Or my personal favorite getting blocked in by my own minions so I can't get off a wall and then take the full brunt of an opponent's trade. That's super magical when it happens...

When I fight ranged champions with melee I strategically select engagements that they always take more minion damage in or post trades than I do

Or they could take off scaling armor for ranged champs so they feel the minion damage

Minion Aggro is fucking stupid. Atm. Hey. My Casters are all attacking this one Melee, but for some reason this Caster back here is low on HP. I can auto it 2 times to secure it. And then use a spell to get the Melee.

Autos once Minion Auto Flies in our of no where to secure it "FUUFUFUFUFUFUUF" Goes and uses spell on melee as minions switch over to other casters except that one bastard minion that took your caster earlier that last hits it "FUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUUFUFUFUFUFFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFUFU" goes ham on all of the minions only to get none of them. Tilt. Then Lose lane because your minions tilted you off the face of the earth.

True story. Happens once every fucking 5 games to me. At least one.

The new "melees are oppressed" circlejerk is really getting on my nerves

Has a legitimate issue with the game-turns it into a rant about riot being anti melee.

Good job, i'm now convinced that the boards is somehow regressing even further.

Anyone think adding "minions deal x amount less damage to you" passive on Dora's shield would work?

just recently ive realized how disgusting minion block is, ive died like 5 times due to it in the last ten games

bushes work really well, but the real melee killer is minion block! people think that Evelynn passive is the strongest part of Her kit, but it's actually Her W because She can ignore unit collision... true story.

Oh, for melee.. I main support and have had some crazy incidents with these bloodthirsty minions. Theres when I trade with the enemy as Soraka and the minions chase me for way too long or a few days ago the random adc hit the enemy and he took cannon damage for like 10 seconds (his fault im sure). I do like to use minions to win trades and get kills but I think something is wrong when you just cant leash them back onto your minions after a few seconds of running away. Maybe a special item or summon spell to cleanse minion agro jk

Wat

the last change made to minion aggro is the call for help centered on the attacker, which favors melee

the fuck

Jump into a bush once you aggro. Problems solved. zzZZzz

NoDaddyItHurts10/29/2016, 1:26:25 AM1 votes

Use the brush. Simple as that. And you won't take any aggro unless you auto attack or walk into minions before they fight, just don't auto attack somebody in his wave? Since you're melee anyway. Minion aggro is so easy to avoid + it is very predictable. You messed up if they take half your HP at level 1 or whatever you're doing.

Whats also aggravating about minions right now is when the caster minions run up within melee range to attack melee minions and you lose CS from it. Ive seen canon minions do this too.

The worst part is when they agro you and continue you to block you as you try to kill the enemy or try to run away.

Interesting fact. Fizz passive let's him walk right through them. Don't expect help from your minions after he tower dives you.
