Ranged champions should get creep blocked harder than melee champions

Creepblock fucks over melee champions so much harder than it does ranged champions I think if riot were to do this it could make melee vs ranged matchups a little bit easier.

Or just remove the retarded mechanic that doesn't deserve to be in the game.

I'd have perhaps phrased it a little differently, but yeah, I agree that creep block doesn't really feel worth keeping in the game. We already have several melee champions who can temporarily or permanently ignore unit collision, and just one ranged champion who can do the same (Jayce), so technically melee champions do tend to have more tools against creep block on average, but the reality of it in the end is that creep block only feels impactful when we least expect it to be, and when that happens it generally tends to screw players over in the worst possible way. It's a mechanic that lacks in clarity, whose intended gameplay feels similarly unclear to players (I don't think Riot themselves have given a definite statement on what it achieves in the game, currently), and which is only felt negatively: if it does exist to serve a purpose, e.g. to stop certain lane bullies from bullying too hard, there are likely far better ways of achieving it, and I think removing it could be a good first step towards allowing melee champions to be designed without gapclosers or abilities that let them ghost through units every time.
