Riot Employee Have A Question About Patch Notes.

"Over the last few patches, we've seen a high-level strategy emerge where teams step in front of the first wave of minions near their inhibitors to control their pacing towards lane. While minion wave manipulation is a key point of mastery in the laning phase, successful execution of this tactic causes such an extreme advantage from the start that there's only one course of action - do it yourself, or fall behind.

This would mean the 'optimal' start in League is one where both teams start games inside their base, herding minions like hooded, gold-generating cats. As cute as that imagery is, the gameplay associated isn't - so we're removing it."

Patch Notes 6.4

While i have always known about blocking minions, is there not a mechanism implanted that increases the movement speed of minions to catch up with where they were supposed to be? Several times when trying to slow/displace minions before hitting the wave the minions tend to speed up and catch up with where the wave was. My theory is that they were completely stopping the wave and that this movement speed mechanism only activates to allow them to catch up with the leading minion of the wave.

Help?
