The ranged minions have double the ad of the melee minions, but half the attack speed. [sg-lux-2]
Its as if they know that ranged is op, so not only is the melee minion tankier by a significant ammount, but it also has the same damage as the ranged minions. [sg-ahri-2]
Now we just need to make champions the same as the minions. With mobility being a function of damage, the higher the mobility, the less damage. [slayer-pantheon-popcorn]
Infernape2 votesI've always wondered why caster minions are called what they are when they deal physical damage.

Yeaaaaa Now that you mention it. Kinda bothers me.
Sp33d Zer01 votesWe have AD casters
Sp33d Zer01 votesRanged minions deal more damage because melee minions are the front line. That's it.
Melee minions have 12 ad with 1.25 AS
Ranges minions have 22.5 (+1.5 / 90s) ad and .66 attack speed.
By these numbers you can see ranged minions very quickly out damage melee.
GigglesO1 votesMelee Minions attack twice as often... That means that they acutally do slightly more per second
Melee minions deal 15/second Casters deal 14/second
and Melee are 2/3 tankier
Sp33d Zer01 votesAnd by 1:30 casters have gained 1.5 AD. By 3:00 they deal slightly more damage. By 4:30 it begins to be substantial damage differences Because casters have AD growth and melee do not.
