League of Legends<\/em> is a complex game, and there are a lot of things to learn and master if you aim to become a professional player or just simply climb the ladder in solo queue. Managing and farming minions are major factors.<\/p>
Minions are units that spawn for both teams in the game. They are sent periodically from their Nexus and spawn every 30 seconds. Every minion grants gold and experience to a champion that kills them (or is nearby in terms of experience). Therefore, minions are one of the main ways of collecting gold to buy items and level up. <\/p>
Luckily, minions don\u2019t have any special abilities, so they can\u2019t hurt you much, except in the early game. During the laning phase, if an enemy stacks up a wave of minions, their damage could end up taking you down.<\/p>
Minions begin spawning at 1:05 and will do so for the remainder of the game every 30 seconds.<\/p>
All in all, minions are a pivotal part of League.<\/em> Learning how they behave, how to last hit them, and how to play with them around the map is one of the first steps to understanding League<\/em>\u2019s macro. Here, we\u2019re going to take you step-by-step through everything minion-related in the game. <\/p>
