Minions

How heavy are the rifts minions? The way that sion kicks em makes me believe they are incredibly light? Minions appear to be small compared to many champs so my question is, would Quinn be strong enough to kick a minion? I mean not as far as sion but just wondering can she pull it off?

I always kind of assumed that minions were magical constructs with no real form. If so, I doubt they weigh much more than the clothing and armaments they wear. So to answer your question.. yes? I suppose most champs would be strong enough to kick a minion, Quinn included.

So in your opinion, how far can Quinn kick one? How far we talking here, give or take, a few meters?

Well, I'm going to guess that the weight of a minion is going to be about 10-15 lbs (mostly because of the metal and wood weapons), so it would be a lot like kicking one of those weighted balls at the gym, or, for a bit of a cruel comparison, the weight of a large house cat. Depending on what kind of kick you're looking for it could be a couple feet or a few yards. If you're going for a full on punt I'd say probably around 12-15 feet. But if you want something like her in-game vault probably closer to 3-5 feet depending on her speed.

What about like how sion does it. A kick like that done by Quinn. How far?

And if she was standing straight and then kicking from right behind the minion without running? How far on that?

Well assuming she's not going for distance, probably only a few feet, I'd say 3-ish.

Imagine kicking an office chair (with no wheels to roll around on), it's about the right height and weight.

Anyway, if you're asking so that you can use it in a story of some kind, I recommend not worrying so much about exact measurements; it doesn't really click in a reader's mind how far 3 yards is and it's much simpler and more fun to read if you say something like "it went flying and skidded to a stop" or "it toppled over with the force of her kick" with no mention of distance at all.

ah okay, so if I was the minion being kicked, my first question is, will it hurt if she stands behind me and kicks me?

And second question, as above, who would have a stronger kick and longer distance, quinn vs j4? And whose kick will hurt most?

Well I don't think that minions feel pain being that they're magical constructs, but it would certainly hurt if she were kicking a person.

I imagine J4 would probably have a stronger kick simply because he has more muscle; his kick would have a longer distance and hurt more.

Okay, since it's cruel to use a large house cat as an example here, lets just assume minions do feel pain, so how far do you think Quinn can kick a minion vs J4? In terms of raw distance compared to j4? And whose kick would hurt more? Quinn vs J4? And if I was the minion, whose kick would hurt me more and launch me a farther distance?

I'm not entirely sure how pain would effect the distance a kick would make a minion travel...

Quinn could probably kick a minion a similar length to J4, maybe only a foot or two short. If we're talking a Sion-style knee-up chest kick, I'd say Jarvan could kick one 5-6 feet, Quinn maybe 4-5 feet.

Assuming more force = more pain, then Jarvan's would hurt more.

Ah, I meant a kick as in how you would kick a soccer ball towards the goalie score net. Where you are using your foot. So either standing right behind the minion or infront of it, kicking on its chest or back using your foot. What do you mean by knee up chest kick? As in kicking the minion with your foot on its chest?

A knee up chest kick being bringing your knee up to your chest and kicking outward.

Anyway, I've given you some solid numbers to work with, you can figure it out yourself from there. Good luck.

my only issue with that knee up shot you are stating is , a minion is already so small in height, so how would they even know they are kicking at its chest. or why would they even have to bring their knee up for kicking a midget?

????? Just because you bring your knee up doesn't mean you're kicking high. Look at Sion's kick animation. Bringing your knee up is adding power to the kick, direction is chosen by which way you point your heel.
