Math of Minions - The Fundamentals

[@kemix7994]

The bit about the enemies resources (raptors) being worth double yours is right out of The Art of War! I think about it every time I steal jungle camps lol

[@JsMethod]

Interesting! I actually didn't know that! Do you watch Broken By Concept at all? They have a book club, I think they read that at some point, I should go back and read it.

​@@JsMethod ill have to check it out! look like there are some good topics they cover!

Hi, I'm here from Neace's shout out. I love thinking about League this way, this makes decision making so much easier! Thank you! Subbed for sure!

Thanks for checking me out! I hope you enjoy the content, LMK how it affects your climb 💪💪

More math pls

[@its_reckoning6667]

that info is from the sheet i made ;)

[@JsMethod]

You know I actually went and looked for that sheet to make sure I didn't have the cannon numbers wrong (I always forget if cannons start spawning every other wave at 15 min or 20 min), but I couldn't find it! I trusted lol wiki with this one lol

Seems like roaming is pretty risky overall no? Anything wrong with playing it safe and committing to not roaming at lower Elos?

[@JsMethod]

Depends on who you're playing! On Viktor, this is normally fine - although not being aware of fights and what's going on will cause you to miss opportunities. But if you're playing Katarina/Fizz, it'd be a big problem. If you crash the wave and roam towards your jungle, it's not really risky. Crashing the wave gives you a timer to leave before you have to deal with the next one and therefore you don't have this same opportunity cost

@@JsMethod thanks a bunch!

[@Mavkor]

i think shutdowns are worth factoring into this equation though

[@istvanhideg6202]

The math is not correct. It’s correct in jungle, but if you leave lane, the enemy gets the wave, and you not, it’s just 125 gold diff. You don’t lose gold, you just don’t get that gold. So the enemy got 125, you got nothing, the gold swing is 125. That’s all.

But how do you calculate the impact of mental tilt on your bot lane when you don't follow the enemy kat on a bad wave😂
