Question about hugging towers.
If you hug a tower, during laning phase, and the enemy is just getting the last hits on the minions. Are you gonna lose all the minions that come to you or no (minions kill each other)?

To answer your question, yes. You will lose the gold from every minion that doesn't push to your tower (unless you can toss a skillshot). When "Hugging Tower":
- Stay within minion death exp range. It's usually okay to leave your tower for this.
- It's NOT okay to push past the half-way point when losing. Back off.
- Toss skillshots, if you have them, at minions to get some farm. Aim for the cannons.
- Don't throw away stuff that you need if you get jumped on.
- Accept that the lane is lost, and you're trying to salvage what you can without making it worse. If it's bad enough that you have to get zoned out of minion exp range, then so be it. This is fine because:
- If you have to hug tower, then the enemy is too strong.
- If the enemy is too strong and you walk up, you will be dead.
- You don't get gold or exp when you're dead, either, nor can you receive a gank.
- An enemy zoning you out of experience probably isn't getting much farm himself.
