I believe he hears me and denies me of them no matter where I pray from...

He is a cruel god.

You should channel your faith to RNGesus instead.

I already shat on RNGesus' altar and then set it on fire...

You angered all gods, infidel.

There is no hope. Except in science: http://maps.skyl3lazer.com/1000-data-points-first-impressions/

You have the cause and effect backwards. My blind faith misled me...

Typical GGG way, nerf something to the ground in one patch, without giving any alternative and maybe is some next patch they will throw some bone...

There is such hallow circle since release and maybe some ppls are happy with such treatment, but I personally am fed up with such amateurish design.

And no, I haven't used Smoke Mine on my summoners, it's just about principles.

This is precisely what was so frustrating to me as well. Common sense tells me that, had GGG planned the new Skill which teleports minions, it would've been introduced in sync with the removal of SM, without this needless gimping-downtime. It almost seems like the new skill is (at least in part) planned only because of the player outrage over the 'removal' of SM, rather than GGG's awareness that such a skill is in fact needed in order so that simple tasks as moving from room-to-room don't feel like pulling teeth for summoners, on what is otherwise a very clunky and ancient-like minion AI.

Alas, shit happens and if GGG by some miracle wasn't in touch with this particular point, the devs should be praised for not ignoring the community (something that happens ever so often with other games), and for trying to remedy the situation. I just hope that the planned skill won't be some kind of a knee-jerk solution, but rather a Skill that actually fixes the crappy minion pathfinding by teleporting them to the player, just like the SM did, but without the mine-laying, Blind and Speed buffs.

Looking forward to 1.1.3!

Well Thanks Chris for answering. All I want is something so handle minion AI. In an indoor map its currently impossible to do so.
I just want to reposition my minions and make them follow me properly.

Thanks anyway.

Wonder if the new skill will TP minions back to you... one per casting.
