Erm, no. This version of Raise Moral was from pre-season 1.

After that, and before his rework, his raise moral was similar in aura, but did not require a friendly minion to execute to trigger.

I was refering to the "Was he ever balanced?" part of the comment

PB4UAMEAug 28, 20161 votes

Oh, my apologies, then.

yay nibbersAug 28, 201617 votes

His old old Raise Morale would have him kill an ally minion to buff nearby allies. Pretty brutal. Eventually they just took out the ally minion kill and made it just buff.

B1naryB0tAug 28, 20165 votes

It used to be a tactic to take him support and just execute cannon minions and shit from the enemy adc. Pretty frustrating.

Remlap1223Aug 28, 20161 votes

Even after they removed that, he was still a godly support in Season 4 that nobody picked because he was "trash." He countered the entire support Trifecta at the time ( Leona Thresh Morgana ).

AnidanAug 28, 20164 votes

Hey, I remember that!

GP was trash for plenty of reasons back then. He didn't counter those 3 worth anything unless their CC hit him instead of the much better target, and that's only the laning phase. It went downhill real fast from there onward.

DotA is better than LoL, said the DotA player to the LoL Player.

The LoL player could not deny.

It was an enemy minion. Darshan was playing Shen and he dashed right into the middle of a clump of enemies.

"He could've just killed that minion".

Thats a viable tactic but only in the late game where you 1-2 shot minions in the early game unless you have smite or relic shield your dead

EnloctAug 28, 20168 votes

It's a viable tactic if they're on the enemy team.

RG VeleanAug 28, 20163 votes

They were enemy minions

Minion block is cancer.

MarshbouyAug 27, 201625 votes

Please. I thought that this stuff about minion block was over inflated until i literally got stuck between minions and could not move when playing urgot... (nemesis draft). Also i got a kill on Aurelion sol because the enemy got trapped behind 6 minions that wrapped around him.

Starfish HAug 28, 201611 votes

But it was a group of enemy minions. People have problems with ally minion block. So there's no need to fix it. Did anyone watch the game at all or just jumped into the "LEL DAREHAN GOT STUK IN MINIKNS I DINT SEE IT BUT WHATEVES"

JulanusAug 28, 20161 votes

So, if ally minion block is removed, then ally champion block should also be removed, right?

Starfish HAug 28, 20163 votes

Well yeah once people get minion blocked remove they'll be like "hurr sure allies blocked be and made me lose durr" and then riot probably would for consistency for shame shitty reason and next thing you know Vayne stands inside Nautilus and there ya go it's league of Big tanks and small carries.

XonraAug 28, 20163 votes

It was obviously pretty bothersome as he full on paused because of it (The casters said as much when it happened live).

ArkatraAug 28, 20168 votes

https://youtu.be/g3YG8Rmwyhk?t=49s In case someone is wondering. He dashes into the minionwave where from he can't get out which result into a kill.

Ever thought about that he tried to taunt Ekko? And maybe just missclicked? But the thing is: have u ever been stuck like this? In most of the cases u can't dash, flash, use abilities, attack or anything else. You are just stuck and nothing happens. Happened to me several times and that's why people complain about this shit, it is buggy as hell. Yesterday i got caught in my own fuckin aloha tentacle. It spawned at the edge where i stood and i was in the shop to look how much gold i need to complete my item and when i closed it and tried to move i just couldn't. Tried to jump with my W away, nope no reaction. Luckily i glitched out a few seconds later.

This shit needs fixing

Curious how the diamond+ board%%%s will try to label this "bronze" lcs player that "should have avoided it" like they always do kappa

ZerenzaAug 28, 20166 votes

It mainly happens to Melee champions, it's near impossible to CS without getting stuck atleast once. I'v even gotten stuck on an ally champion before.

AATTRROOXXAug 28, 20166 votes

Why do you think minion block needs updating?

HeadHonchkrowAug 29, 20161 votes

It's a broken mechanic

AATTRROOXXAug 29, 20161 votes

Please elaborate.

theArtifactsAug 28, 20166 votes

Better pay attention to your surroundings and know that minions are a moving wall.

AnagsAug 27, 20164 votes

No, it's part of the game. It also was worse earlier this season.

You wouldnt be able to go into the minions if you cant get out bud

obviously coded wrong

matter of fact, it was probably impossible to walk in between them without using flash/a dash

so for him: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CYGLSbUUwAAfUDy.jpg

HaloDragonXAug 28, 20162 votes

Oh the boards... OP, you surely have more common sense then this? Right?

He dashed into 4-5 minions, formed in a plus sign. If I dash into a box of 4 walls in all directions, no shit I can't move out. His fault for dashing like that and as Riot said, very much intended. Now if it was Allied minions it would be a different story.

lol ok yeah a broken game mechanic is fine

Warlord ZudaneAug 28, 20164 votes

Seriously? Broken game mechanic? What do you want? Everybody walk through allied minions? Then we'd just run away through our own minions and the enemy would need to avoid them. Everybody walk through all minions? Then why not just make ghost minions that we can target instead?

Go figure these small minions that are helping each side fight are actually going to be interacted with when you try to walk through them! Oh dear lord, how terrible life must be when people whine about unit collision in a game! Oh, or should the minions move for us? Or should we push them out of the way? Again, let's just do ghost minions because they serve no other purpose then gold/farm/damage otherwise.

You need to play around champions, you need to play around minions. Deal with it. It literally makes no sense to whine about it, I can't come up with a single logical reason WHY to change it, other than "minion block sucks" and this game isn't your personal little field where everything is easy for you.

Besides, if minion block kills you so much, use a dash, summoner 4 summoner 6 Janna Kassadin

...NO...NO...NO NO NO NO NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! It's fine as it is. If YOU die to minion block you rage, if YOU get a kill because of minion block you're happy! It's either one or the other SO GET OVER IT! [slayer-jinx-catface]

xelakerAug 28, 20162 votes

I love the "just kill it" people on here. the exact same thing happens with ally minions, jungle camps, and so on. champion block is fine I use it as a big tanky supp to slow down kills for my adc and to body block chase, but minions are a major issue
