Minions OP?

Let's talk about minions.

Due to my bronze experiences at the current situation when my team loses a top or bot inhib i know the game is 95% lost. When inhibitor is down you can't leave your base because afer 1 min, minions destroys your nexus tower. Towers deal almost no damage to minions and super minions are just too strong in my opinion. It is almost impossible to comeback when team's inhibitor is down. In result enemy team can feel free to do anything on the map because your team is supposed to 4v5 because 1 player has to defend base. In result enemy team makes baron and it's gg.

Even when you pretend to stop enemy team doing baron and whole team leaves base, when you reach baron to fight, base is that pushed you lose at least 1 tower and even if you won teamfight and got baron, you stil lhave to defend base with it.

When team lose 2 inhibitors, there is NO CHANCE to comeback somehow because minions makes whole team defend.

Do you agree with me, do you think it is ok?

You say you're Bronze, but both lolking and op.gg say you're Gold (or around twice the MMR of a Bronze 5 player such as myself).

In actual Bronze games, both teams will typically lose a few inhibs once or twice before a team finally ends. It's not even uncommon for a team to have all 3 inhibs taken down twice and still win, even when no teammate is particularly fed. The super minions can easily be cleared as long as your carries push the wave up around half way before leaving base (the enemy team won't kill you, don't worry).

I've won many, many games where the enemy team had all 3 inhibs and baron. Actually what's a little more telling of who's going to win is who has more dragons. That team seems to win more often.

Are the minions OP in Gold games? Wouldn't know. But they aren't OP in Bronze.

I've won games with an inhib down many times. I've won games with three inhibs down even. does it make the game harder? I think that's the point of getting them, otherwise there is none.

The trick to losing an inhib and winning is to not turtle and wait for waves. push that lane up to the river, and buy yourself time to team-fight properly, or take other objectives. if you wait for the minions to come to you, you'll have a problem. you need to push them back.
