If you actually played this game and read the patch notes, you'd have a different perspective on this.

There's a lot of weird code and technical debt in the game client. For example, a map-wide filter (Nocturne's ult) is actually a giant minion covering the whole map.

It’s a common thing. For example the chess event in World of Warcraft Burning Crusade was done by placing invisible bunnies in a grid for the chess figures to target and move towards.
Implementation details != Technical debt
Reminds me of how Fallout 3’s subway car is actually a hat.

If it works it works. The code isn’t the product.

Minions all the way down
