Minion blocking on the new map is bad.

I thought minion blocking on the old map was bad. I once saw my friend get completely trapped against a wall by minions and couldn't move till he killed them on the old map. On the new map I find myself getting stuck on them all the time. I don't know if it's because they made the models bigger or what but it is bad. This is also for champs too. Not just minions.

They'll ignore it until an LCS player gets minion blocked.

Idk why you would say that. Of course they would, because it's televised. It's immediately brought to their attention. When it happens to any regular player they don't typically record it, send in a video which is watched by thousands of people, and then have it documented.

So, yeah if it happens during a recorded team fight they tend to notice lol.

I really don't mind it that much, just another tactical aspect of the game IMO.

Looks like a l2p issue to me .

Lmao I knew I wasn't the only one... I was playing Udyr VS Tryndamere and I couldn't do the old bear stance to tiger then bear and run out on him because I always got minion blocked hard and at points it got me killed a few times in our fights... So I built a phantom dancer lol, but the minion block is real more real than ever before especially by friendly minions !

yea minion blocks have contributed to a few deaths on both maps for me. It is definitely annoying.

i have never got minion blocked ever. but I know it does happen rarely. its not a big thing to complain about, i'm sure riot has more important things to do than worry about the few people who do get minion blocked.

It happends very often, and what does Riot have to do? Make more skins that rich people will buy? They are waiting for LCS players to say something, we are simply worthless in Riot's eyes, that's just how it is...

I typed this up over a year ago. Yes, with the patch that introduced us to pre-season I think minion blocking is bad. But when the new map came out it was fine.

Well I don't think running through minions is the solution, but I definitely feel there is a lot more minion blocking on the new map. I actually got stuck in the raptor pit recently and had to fight my way out.

I don't get blocked by them that often, but I frequently get the stuttered run thing where my champion gets stuck on them moving up the lane. Like they are tripping over the little minions. :)

I haven't played a melee solo lane since the update. But now that I've just played Mao top, I gotta say I agree that minion blocking seems to be more of an issue than it was. Maybe it's the new Mao model or a combination of Mao and the new minion models, but I had a hard time walking between and around my own minions in order to last hit.

I haven't had a "trapped" issue yet, but I can see how it might be possible based on my melee laning experience so far.

They won't do anything, because as Jakethenight said, about every update is for LCS, they don't care about casuals, and Minions blocking is making me rage sometimes (In my head, or in the call with my friends) It happends so often, and when you are playing something like Karma mid, I can't lasthit 1/20 minions (Or more) because I get blocked, it even forces me to take a skillshot to the face, I think that it is fine that Enemy minons can block, but your own, no...
