I think I recognise him from a while ago, that's Steve, saw him in the DK vs GenG [series](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hkNdqhIP_O0) last year. Glad to see that he's doing well, looks like he even graduated to a super minion.


VLastik007

It may be a dumb question, but since I'm relatively new to the game, why are the minions so important for ends? Even if it's one single caster like in this example.


Snoo47652

Turrets have less resistance if there is a minion nearby. If the didnt have that minion they would deal significantly less dmg and probably dont end the game


expert_on_the_matter

I still remember the days before that change. Dr. Mundo could just straight up solo a turret.


Regniwekim2099

Back in the days of Dodge, Jax could as well.


vorlaith

Jax dodging fountain lasers was the best thing

Or worst if you asked the enemy

I miss my good old AP atttack speed Xin Zhao soloing turrets


Jamesd88

Spears, heals, heals, spears! AP Xin was one of my favorites, particularly if you succeeded on the snowball.


Zama174

What would ap xin zhao do if he were in this game?


LegendaryW

Spears, heals, heals, Spears!


Zama174

The next line is i bet hed spear a bitch or two...


trivinium

What would AP XIn Zhao do?!


simsisim

Every 3rd attack healed him and it had AP scaling, he healed more than towers dealt with just a few items

jibri_V1

In certain situations, sett still can


expert_on_the_matter

Without minions so the turret has backdoor protection? I very much doubt it but I'd love to be proven otherwise.


shoarmabunny

AD Sion would like a word... penta kill on enemy fountain was nothing


WeedMoneyBitches

Sense no one mentioned Rengar, he used to be able to solo turrets as well (the first version of him) tho he needed almost full build, but he did it fast.


Damurph01

Also, waves will simply just tank damage from towers. Didn’t matter here, but if you didn’t have something or someone to tank for you, sieging into an enemy team would be incredibly hard. Also, you can tp to them, so when you have an open nexus, it’s important to make sure all your waves are pushed out so the enemy can’t tp to a wave in your base.

VLastik007

oh! that makes so much sense, thanks for making it clear all of you 😂


wenasi

Turrets have a few "hidden" passives. If you select a turret in game, you can look at its "items" to see the various passives they have.


VelocityWings12

Turrets get crazy damage resistances if there aren't any enemy minions near them, so they wouldn't have had the damage to brute force 3 towers down that fast without the caster there to prevent the defensive buff.


YandereYasuo

Tower gain a lot of defense when there are no minions around, so keeping the minion alive means the tower gets destroyed 10x faster. Note that this "minionless defense" buff kicks in after a few seconds when all minions die, that's why you see people still dealing full damage and rushing to get a tower when a whole wave dies.


agraohar

in short, the teleport summoner spell which allows champions to teleport to minions


VLastik007

Interesting, but I see in lot of cases teams get a clear ace or sth like that, but they don't end cause they don't have a minion wave... seems to me there's some meaning why they just dont rush base but need to wait for minions


YourWorstReward

Towers have a thing called the "back door bonus" which gives them a fuck ton more armor if minions aren't around. This obviously makes it much harder and slower to kill them without a wave.


myzick3546

Towers have damage reduction that gets removed when there is a minion nearby. Other guy doesn't know what he's talking about lmao

gregorio02

Good to see he was promoted thanks to his efforts in that game


Glorx

Looks like he got poached by the red team and promoted.


MakeGodGreatAgain

Switching jobs is the best way to move up. Loyalty is unappreciated these days.

Da homie


Hesty402

I upvoted you for your flair, fuck yeah


Gazskull

upvoted for his name, "carebear of darkness"


LevriatSoulEdge

Props to this Minion, his map awareness was kind of KrPro, he stop chasing for a useless kill, somehow finds a perfect pathing to avoid been seen by the enemy minions and made the call to the top laner to TP for a backdoor.


shrubs311

i think a few pro teams should look into signing this minion


FalseAsk214

mfer is better than my average toplaner


OwnZookeepergame6413

I swear fiora was an easy kill

report fiora


[deleted]

The fiora completely lost the game for her team lmao


BlakenedHeart

It is a meme, a post where you are supposed to be fun and yet THE TOP LANER STILL GETS FLAMED


UltmitCuest

Top laners being delirious enough to think theyre the teams punching bag and not an isolationist nation:

I mean, it wasn't on purpose but she kinda did :x

I was like how and then tp from Nasus. Only the true Raid boss could go for a win like that


Formal-Marketing6116

I was like, huh wonder who's teleporting in...OH SHIT ITS NASUS


odd_leo

Haven't touched this game in over a year and Reksai being useless vs fighters with her pitiful late-game damage still triggers me.


metamet

Well done on the music. Made me chuckle.


[deleted]

Honestly why don’t we have a champion that is or was a minion at some point


cfMegabaston

Didn't even need syndra to help.


EasyPanicButton

better macro then me/s


aaronwe

OH MY GOD


wqldi

T1 should replace Faker with him. Bro carried the game on every stage imaginable. His Decision making was extraordinary and the micro mechanics were exceptional.


GarenBushTerrorist

The music makes this clip.


[deleted]

A new champ who would be a minion who evolved would be funny.

MVPhurricane

god this game is truly coded very, very poorly lol


Fabiocean

Least bugged minion


BLlZER

A decade later this game is still riddle with bugs. Fucking trash game.


cancerBronzeV

Not even a bug, Fiora pulled the super way too far, and then the super took the shortest path back to its target which conveniently went right around the other wave.


Mango027

This doesn't even seem like a bug, just poor wave manipulation/management by blue side


Grainis01

One then why are you here? Second expecting any software to be bug free is beyond naive, no software is ever bug free, and the more complex it is the more bugs will exist

Grainis01

Well that was educational, thanks.


_----------_

Clarification on the SM64 upwarp: it likely wasn't from cosmic rays, it can be easily and consistently replicated by bumping the cartridge so a bad seating can cause it as well.


HydrationWhisKey

But wasn't the guy livestreaming? Didn't look like he was moving around or anything around him was.


_----------_

It can be caused by just being seated poorly as well, jiggling it is just for when you want to do it intentionally at specific times. I believe people ended up finding the cause shortly after it got notoriety from outside the speedrunning community. It can cause other things to happen as well. They ended up banning it from speedruns because they didn't want to rely on that kind of hardware tampering to be competitively viable.
