corner-boosting should be removed

I'm all for "hidden" movement-tech things to a certain degree, I think they add a lot of depth to the game but cornerboosting like in the reddit post seems super powerful and has no place in the game. If everyone knew these tricks, verticality in the game would be much less significant and easier to traverse which seems wrong.

It also feels like an unfair advantage to people willing to curl their hand in ungodly ways to hit the keys necessary for it but that's just my opinion.

Disagree, If you think this takes "curling your hand in ungodly ways" then you need to get your hands checked.
Unlike HMC which takes skill, timing, requiring you to buy very specific items AKA dedicate souls and slots for it - this tech takes zero skill and works on every hero no matter the items.

Heavy melee cancel

I think the worst part is that it can easily disrupt laning stage. When two teammates know how to leverage this tech they will most certainly outplay the enemy duo and put them at disadvantage.

I feel like mechanic can stay but its effect should be significantly nerfed in terms of distance / velocity. Or it needs to work only starting from minute 9+.

HMC is way better than corner boosting, unlike corner boosting, HMC lets you travel halfway across the map with a very cheap item. Corner boosting is honestly just a cool tech that enables you to get some extra height in some scenarios. If you want corner boosting removed then HMC should also be removed, there is zero reason for it to be one or the other. I've had many situations where HMC made it nigh impossible to kill people, out of my 700 games I'm probably the only person to utilize corner boosting for minimal gains.
