Number of minions is unbalanced per player.

I'd like to report an issue with the balancing between minions and champions. Recently, I played a very long aram and around the 120 minute mark, Garen and Taric could not keep up with the number of minions spawning because of their extreme health. I would like to request a that the health of minions not increase at such an exponential rate in order to make it more fair. While the minions damage was relatively low, even bay-blading through the minions could not keep the onslaught of minions from coming. Eventually the minions started hacking and crashed my game in order to win and I was going to hack them but my game stats would not load. Please, give the minions at least a day ban for this. I've attached some photos proving that the minions cheated. Thank you.

I want this to be a featured gamemode.

co-op Survival mode: your nexus doesn't spawn minions, and the enemy nexus turrets/nexus are untargettable. defeating waves gives you points, but the game only ends when your nexus breaks. it counts as a victory if you've survived X number of waves before your nexus breaks

You'd just get players that rotate between eachother (and tank minions) luring a couple of minions into the fountain every time.

Everything seems normal to me.

I heard that if a game lasts long enough super minions get negative health and are unkillable I saw this in a 9+ hour game when a player was trying to break infinite stacking records (Nasus thresh, etc)

I've never seen this, but it could be explained by using signed integers for their health value. As it gets too high (probably around 65k), it would 'wrap around' and become a negative value. By the game mechanics, I'd assume they should just instantly die (as hp <= 0), but it could be coded strangely (would not surprise me).

How do you do this

MarthianNov 15, 20144 votes

Minions get more stats over a game's length. Health, Attack Damage, Armor, Magic Reistance, and Gold Value all go up over time.

Eventually, if the game goes on for awhile, the minions start to become a bit tanky. If it goes on for too long, they become hard to kill, can hit champions somewhat hard, and they have an extremely difficult time killing each other due to lack of penetration stats. Eventually, since they can't kill each other, and you can't really kill them either, they just start piling up. Have fun tanking turrets.

Lol you did this in a custom game with friends. But i do agree, they shouldn't get so much hp and damage, i sometimes want to farm Nasus or Veigar Qs out of boredom, but the minions become too strong.
