Remove creep/minion block

Honestly, it's been in far too many clips/vids, far too many people have made posts about it both with and without evidence and far too many players as a whole complain about it.

If you're going to have it in the game allow players to block minions as well like in DOTA, so that there's a dynamic to it which rewards players for using it correctly, as opposed to hoping it doesn't work, as when it does it's incredibly frustrating, random and uninteractive.

There is no skill to Riot's coding randomly deciding to work in a specific way, same as the fact that this concept as a whole actually counteracts skill both due to its randomness and glitchiness. So no, the argument "But it adds more skill expression to the game" does not and will never apply to the current approach of creep/minion block.

While on the topic, minion pathing is also an issue as well. At this point it feels as if minions just path randomly and inconsistently, making for some very irritating moments, such as and not limited to: minion aggro not fully functioning, cannon creep being lost to a random change in aggro, any minion being lost to a random change in aggro, minions deciding to block you thanks to their unknown pathing.

I don't know how a basic element of this game has been allowed to be this problematic for so long, however, it is certainly time to fix this.

Another extreme example of creeps being buggy would be this (and yes, this still happens even today), and I'll leave this with you guys as my parting gift. Enjoy!

And while we're at it, how about minion targeting making fucking sense for once. Ive missed too many minions because the cannons decided to switch targets randomly.

Every 'random change in aggro' I've seen has been someone attacking a champion then immediately leaving LoS - which triggers the minions to very briefly reset their aggro and find a new target based off of aggro script.

I've never seen a minion do that without that stimulus.

Then how do you explain minions all targeting say, an opposing melee creeps, and then all of a sudden changing aggro to the cannon creep while that same said melee creep is still alive and well within LoS?

You misunderstood what I said.

Say Vayne and Ez are in lane against each other. Ez attacks vayne and drops out of line of sight a fraction of a second later. The enemy minions target ez for that fraction of a second, which is not long enough for them to move or attack, but they still target him. Once he's out of LoS, they then find new targets.

that is how most 'random aggro resets' happen. One champion hits another, triggering an aggro reset. That champ then leaves LoS or vision, which results in the aggro reset. If the two happen close enough together, it doesn't even look like they ever targeted the champ, just like they randomly changed aggro.

Can we talk about classic "Bruiser op, 1000 true dmg Cam", meanwhile Nunu... But Kaisa? He's snack for her, does anyone except me crying about her? Nah, she is ok ;)

That's not what this post is about. Champion balance is a completely separate issue to this embarrassment of a concept that is minion block.
