Current minion block is horrible

So how about instead of minions literally blocking you get slowed for every minion you are touching with your champion model?

PD and other Abilities would still keep their benefits, it would just be a buff to Swifties and abilities that ignore/reduce slows. But if that is an issue, you could just define the slow as a new cc, called minion block and have it not be effected by slow altering effects.

I think minion block is fine if it would work like intended.. it is so unreliable and unpredictable.. so this needs to be fixed please!

I believe that Riot's main arguement to not letting walk through your allied minions is that you can basically stand on top of minions to prevent enemies from cs'ing.

Ally minion block shouldn't be a thing and its nothing but a negative.

I mean yeah, it's not like the minions aren't knee height or anything.

another proof of riot just being stubborn assholes.

remember nexus blitz? they had to disable the collision with the walking nexus as people would just trap it in their base making it very very hard to get to.

then pro players started to clip minions into their tower on purpose so the enemy gets less exp. what did riot do? disable the minion collision for the first few waves.

it is clearly not a huge problem to turn it off, riot just doesnt want to.

I've been killed by minion block. I guess their on the enemy team now. My own minions.

100% agree with the topic - current minion block / pathing is comedically awful. It's really exacerbated with larger champs.

I took a break through most of 2018, and when I came back something had been changed for the worse with pathing and minions. Whatever was done to pathing in 2018, just undo it already.

I once had a team fight where neither side could initiate because a minion wave of super on both sides didn't allow it.

We just awkwardly cleared minions and tried again. It just really kills the momentum of a well places Janna tornado that can't be followed up because mininions OP

It feels like lag so you look at your ping and its fine, it's pretty bad. Hell, i play some smaller champs and it still happens

Minion block is the one thing I truly hate about this game. I've been killed because of it, missed canon minions, and even lost games. Dota always had it, but for some reason it feels natural there.

I agree, I honestly prefer old minionblock, because new is just excessive.

Yet another problem Riot is just realizing; Dota solved this problem 20 centuries ago with phase boots. Make phase boots and change minion collision to be even bigger. Maybe then the laning phase will require more skill.
