Can we fix minion block already?

Jesus fucking christ it's HORRIBLE to try to cs with most melee top laners at the moment. I almost just want to play adc so I don't have to worry about being basically stunned for 1 second or so because my champion decides to have a seizure on melee/caster minions.

true story.

Well I mean this happened at MSI with SuperMassive and they had to remake the game 30 minutes in. This also happened in another game in LCK a few weeks ago with someone playing Lissandra trying to go in for a kill under turret then they got blocked by a creep for at least 2 seconds then got flash cocooned by an Elise.

So with that it's pretty clear Riot isn't changing it at this point.

Hey. You took the name that caused me to create this other name. I don't appreciate that.

pretty sure that elise bug wasn't to do with minion block pathing, but could be thinking of another game

Can we fix allied champion block while we're at it? I was walking to lane with more MS than my support Tahm and I stepped immediately on top of him. I proceeded to get stuck in his orbit and walk back and forth at blazingly high speeds, unable to detatch myself. I just wish I was recording.

Also when you are walking right by another champion and you can't turn their direction because the game will automatically send you forward.

It's not up to the OP to work around the problem, it's up to Riot to pull their faces out of each other's ass and fix it.

It's especially bad in lanes you're freezing because you try to last hit at the last possible moment, so when you go up to cs the minion any minor delay makes you lose it.

Sure, go build it on, let's say, Malphite.

lmfao.. if you have minion block problems with malphite I think you have other problems.

Count Zubat3 votes

Sorry, but every champion can get blocked by minions, I don't have many problems with minion block (guess I'm lucky), I'm just pointing out that proposed solution to a problem isn't viable for everyone. Not every champion will benefit from stats PD provides and I mentioned Malphite as an example only because he was the first champion that came to my mind, I'm pretty sure there are many more examples.

Riot: What's that? Minion block? That's a feature! In fact, here's Yorick's rework with a new W made of minion block!

Today I got stunned in the middle of 3 Zyra plants that kind of formed a small triangle. I couldnt move at all I was just glitching left right extremely fast... RIOT fix this shit, this wasnt the case in the earlier seasons...

You say "Fix" minion block, however I don't think riot sees it as a bug or unhealthy thing or they would have fixed it a long time ago. I Agree, however, that minion block is nearly as cancerous as yasuo and shouldn't be a thing. The sad thing is, I don't Believe they are going to gut said minions untill a series of issues occur in LCS level games...

... Hopefully sooner though.

what will be fizz passive?

Give it the hecarim passive treatment.

Skystrike71 votes

Please, riot. If there's a wave of any decent size, you can't CS because your own minions block you so hard that it's IMPOSSIBLE to kill anything. Justice for melee!

Ugh I feel your pain...

Probably think I'm exaggerating a bit but I believe unit collision is by far the biggest problem with League of Legends. I can't even count the number of times it has ruined my games.

Didn't they increase the hit box of minions somewhere in season 5? I can't seem to remember...

They changed the way minions aggroed; I think that was in the preseason.

Arthianne1 votes

They have an item for this. Phantom dancer. It's a risk you choose playing a melee champ. AD champions don't have access to zhonyas and no item has made compensation for them. unit collision is a major part of league and I think it's important. Just because a few champions can't farm properly and get stunned doesn't mean they should change an entire game mechanic or make item compensation for it.

I think maybe RIOT wanted to give more power to the minions you know? Like they felt bad for the creeps. Like they sort of said: what can we do to make minions feel like they are contributing to the game and not just intentionally feeding all the time? They need to have clear strengths and weaknesses with meaningful counter play.

The goods news is that you can still block Thresh's lantern.

Just make the minions only block the enemy champ' and it's ok :/

pls. got stunned in minions when playing urgot (nemesis draft)

The problem is that Riot has coded minions the same as they coded terrain. So when minions get close enough together they literally form a wall that you have to go around.

Again?

Nøble1 votes

Yea I agree. The effects of minion black never has a positive experience on the game. The only time you factor it and take it into account is when you die because of it. There is never a moment where minion block positively impacts you and even when it does you don't notice it. Its just an annoyance.
