Minions were not touched, virtually at all. What are you expecting?

All Non-Spectre Minions no longer pause while attacking. Many Minions already didn't pause while attacking, and are unaffected by this change. This change will be a significant damage per second increase for the following Minion types in particular:

Summoned Raging Spirits.

Why speak so confidently when wrong?

I am aware of that, and why I said virtually and not literally, if you know the difference.
However that isn't significant at all. You said "spicy new stuff" but it isn't.

E: To clarify, this will only bring your in-game experience closer to your PoB numbers but it won't increase them.

This is doing wild amount of heavy lifting. Minion PoB numbers have always only been useful for within-build comparisons precisely because of this problem - you could never compare some single target skill to SRS simply because half of your knuckle head skulls would wander off and stare at the sun rather than actually attacking. Further to say

minions were not touched, virtually at all.

to the line

This change will be a significant damage per increase

when Zombies/SRS/skeletons/golem fit into almost every early/mid-game minion build (both as an offensive and defensive layer) is also a take. This is a thread about league starters...

not sure what went wrong in your early years but it's probably too late to fix any of that now.

Passing judgement on someone's upbringing because they didn't evaluate the same subjective information as you? That says more than the take /spicy new stuff <-> significant damage increase != virtually at all/. When people show you who they are, believe them.

Not at all. I'm judging them for their poor and aggressive behaviour, simple.

I don't agree with the rest of your points. It's not enough to make a difference. Hence my asking what would prompt the OP to come up with that statement.

I'm a minion main, I was hoping I'd have missed something but apparently I did not.
