With new Swain, minionblock more prevalent than ever

Seriously. Because his Q will pierce if it kills the first unit, you want to angle yourself to hit as many minions as possible behind the target so you can push faster, right? Well, good luck doing that when you're stuck wiggling back and forth thanks to worse pathing than this GPS' instructions. Why am I minionblocked by my OWN MINIONS! This is something people have asked for ages and still don't have an answer to. WHY!!!!

It’s so you can’t hinder your opponents ability to Cs by standing on top of low minions

But you can already do that by playing big champions. Sejuani, Hecarim, Alistar, Nautilus, Gragas, they all have massive hit- and click-boxes that interrupt CSing. Coupled with zoning, farm denial is a pretty big part of any MOBA that has farming for gold as a mechanic. Minionblock is just outrageous and it's getting worse and worse.

Logically to be blocked by an obstacle makes sense. If I try to walk forwards and you are standing in my way I’m going to get stopped. Sometimes they get grouped and champions get mispositioned around them so it feels bad but being aware that it happens let’s you play around it, it’s not that hard to avoid in game...
