One Day, I was creep blocking the bottom lane of Radiant. I had felt that I did an exquisite job, making the creeps stop at least 10 times. I did so well, that when the creeps started fighting, they fought in my tower!

I had thought this was a good thing, until my tower killed the creeps in less than twenty seconds and my lane got pushed to river.

Moral: Don't creep block too much on the easy lanes.

Indeed. Too much creep block can completely reverse any advantage you were hoping to gain by doing it.

I did one of my best blocks on the safe lane, only to realise that the enemy creeps would be virtually sitting on top of the tower. Fortunately, the enemy laner blocked well too and they ended up perfectly positioned.

I tend to just creep block from the 2nd tier tower now, and often let one creep go past so he's quickly killed, pushing the lane even closer to me.

Do not block at all at the easy lane.
If the day should ever come when we must go, if some day we are compelled to leave the scene of history, we will slam the door so hard that the universe will shake and mankind will stand back in stupefaction.

Yep, on the safe lane you should either forsake blocking or let one creep pass. Never hard block.

Yeah, it's probably best if you just don't block on the easy lane. It's unnecessary.
