Minions

Each filtering bag Minions They are friendly or enemy units that are automatically generated to go into battle with the purpose of attacking enemy units that are present in the lanes assigned to them.

Minions for the blue and red team spawn every 30 seconds in the Nexus in order to aid the champions. Minions start spawning at 1 minute 15 seconds after the game has started. Every 3 minutes the waves of minions will get stronger, as each type of minion will gain different skill increases. Minions gain a 50% increased damage to turrets and about 15% reduced damage to enemy champions.

Note: Minions should not be confused with monsters, which are neutral unless attacked and they reside in the jungle.

Knowledge 

Minions are League creations, used specifically for battle arenas. They have no sensitivity. In the early days of the League - during its extensive testing phase - there was a rumor that sentient beings were being used as subjects. Necromancy was even supposed to be used to summon skeletal minions to fight like minions do today. Such rumors were generally unsubstantiated.

Type

There are currently five types of minions in the game.

Melee (Melee)

Melee minions attack the closest enemy directly and always come first in the wave.

· Base Health (HP): 480

HP Growth: 21

Gold Value: 21

Gold Value Growth: 0

Wizards (Casters)

Mage minions attack enemies from a range of 600 units with energy bolts that are the same color as their equipment. They do more damage per attack and have slightly more DPS than their melee counterparts and are always behind the wave. They are less strong than melee

· Base Health (HP): 320

HP Growth: 14

Gold Value: 14

Gold Value Growth: 0

Siege (Cannons)

A siege minion appears every third wave, on every line. Attack enemies from a distance of 450 units with cannonballs. They receive 30% less from the turrets. Siege minions have more health and deal more damage than regular minions.

· Base Health (HP): 900

HP Growth: 50

Gold Value: 60

Gold Value Growth: 3

Anti-turret cannon

A siege minion transforms into an anti-turret cannon, gaining attack speed, armor, magic resistance, and health. These minions are superior to regular minions.

Gunner Minions

A minion gunboat that appears every 3 wave, and in every line. They appear in only 2 types of maps In Summoner's Rift and in ARAM. These cannon minions They take 30% less from the turrets and deal more damage than the Minions than the regular ones and when you farm them they give you 45 gold.

Super minions

A super minion appears directing each wave in a lane with a destroyed inhibitor. They will continue to spawn in subsequent waves until inhibitor regenerates, which takes about 4 minutes. Replaces the siege minion and similarly takes 30% less damage from turrets. They deal more damage and have more life than any other minion, but they have the least amount of magic resistance and have the most armor, which means that having negative magic resistance takes more magic damage than physical or true damage.

Behavior

Minions and turrets will only change their common behavior to go to the aid of an ally who is under pressure. Whenever a unit is under attack, it will generate a "call for help." Minions and turrets have a slight difference in reacting to this call for help.

The behavior of a minion under normal circumstances is simple. The minions continue their route of attack until they find an enemy to face. Every couple of seconds, they will scan the area around them to find the target with the highest priority. When a minion receives a call for help from an ally, they will evaluate the current target in relation to the target signaled by the call. He will switch his attack to the new target if and only if the new target has a higher priority than the current target. Minions prioritize their target in the following order:

1. An enemy champion indicated by a call for help generated by an allied champion. (When an enemy champion attacks an allied champion)
2. An enemy minion indicated by a call for help generated by an allied champion. (When an enemy minion attacks an allied champion)
3. An enemy minion indicated by a call for help generated by an allied minion. (When an enemy minion attacks an allied minion)
4. An enemy turret indicated by the call for help generated by an allied minion. (When enemy turret attacks an allied minion)
5. An enemy champion indicated by the call for help generated by an allied minion. (When an enemy champion attacks an allied minion)
6. The closest enemy minion.
7. The closest enemy champion.

As they are continually reevaluating their target, minions will lose interest in an enemy champion escaping an encounter with them, whenever another target is found near them or within range.

Minions will only reevaluate their target every couple of seconds. This means that if a champion initiates an attack against an enemy champion, the attacking champion will continue to be seen as the most threatening target for a short time after the attack has ended. This is true even if one of the allied champions has joined the battle, as minions always prioritize their current targets over a target with equal priority. If a champion gets out of sight of a minion, they will automatically reevaluate their target and start walking or attacking something else.

Lane control and tips for "Last Hitting"

Although experience is gained when the champion is within a certain range in which a minion dies, the champion will only receive the gold that this minion grants if it hits the killing blow. The last hitting of a minion is called "Last Hitting" by the League of Legends community. This is the best way to take the reward that is awarded by the minion without the need to push the lane considerably. Commonly minion auto-attack involves pushing the lane, which leaves the champion more vulnerable to being attacked by the jungle. Champions can also use their abilities to perform the "Last Hit", but using the ability and staying on cooldown or using a resource (eg Mana) will always leave you at a disadvantage. When choosing to use an ability to perform the "Last Hit", this action must be taken into account. Eliminating minions (creep score or CS) is generally the only way to earn gold in the lane throughout the game (since assists and kills are not guaranteed), this should be considered something important.

Freezing the lane is essentially stopping the advance of enemy minions to prevent the lane from being pushed further. Commonly used with zoning to prevent the enemy champion from gaining experience and allow the jungle to ambush (Gank). Keep in mind that freezing the lane will have a greater number of enemy minions than allied minions and can mean that a greater amount of damage is taken. The first rule for this technique to work is that enemy minions are already pushing the lane. You can generally drop an extra number of enemy minions (about half the wave or three is a good number, preferably ranged minions). Sometimes you will have to resist minion hits to keep lane without pushing between waves of minions.

Notes

• If a champion does not interfere in the battle, a wave of minions will win. The wave you win is completely random, depending on which wave best focuses the other.
• When minions search for a target, it is possible for a champion to take aggression multiple times from a minion. These, in turn, can follow you through the jungle.
