minions in pvp need to be in the background.

With all the flashy color and minion spamming it gets difficult to target the players. just give the minions another target color.

I know some of the character builds are heavily based on minions, but it is PlayervPlayer not PlayervMinion.

I see what you're saying, but like you mentioned, some players use the minions as an extension of their power. The minions define a summoner class, for example, and in this case "minion vs. player" should be acceptable.
