¿How BMB showcased that Minion-mancy is achievable in LoL? Because as far as I am aware they were, much like most of the in-game pets, autonomous, and weren't healthy in design: Ironback was a must, and resulted on a hyper-aggressive sieging that rewarded who maxed the most Ironbacks first, and a single Razorfin fully maxed was more than enought to turning the lanes into a nightmare.

I hope that, in the future, a manual micro-management champion exists, and Riot has open themselves to cheat the interface, like Kindred's Innate, but the current system doesn't support much without bonding the summon to its respective button or let them act by themselves.

However, it's true that creating a kit, or at least thinking on their core gameplay, is currently being made around in-build objectives, but there must be a balance between making it impactful (Azir's artificial turret and Kindred's mark for mind game's purpose) and turning it mindless (Bard's "Go AFK and farm Chimes" and "Kindred's mark for in-build BotRK).
