Enemy minions attacking an allied champion.Enemy champions attacking an allied champion.When minions find several enemy units, they choose their target using a priority system that follows this order:

Bar the first wave (which is noted above as an exception), Call for Help signals are also ignored while minions are already attacking an enemy turret.

Minions will prioritize the closest champion in the case there are multiple sources.

A champion deals damage to an enemy champion with a basic attack, the majority of unit-targeted abilities, and a minority of abilities which are marked as being similar to those two.

A champion stands in the minion's path, without any other targets within the minions' attack range and outside of a turret's range.

When activated by enemy champion actions, this aggression is formally referred to as a Call for Help signal in-game and throughout the wiki, and it is indicated by an icon of three concentrated lines above a minion's health bar (this icon indicates all non-playable units' aggro, including monsters, turrets, pets, etc.).Ībilities interacting with / minion Call for Help specifically, is noted under their respective 'Details' section within a formatted table ( which includes other fundamental ability properties). Nearby enemy minions will become aggressive toward, or ' aggro', an enemy champion within their own variable acquisition range and under certain conditions. This special behavior exists so that, in every game, neither side gains a pushing advantage without champion interference since the first wave's melee minions are guaranteed to die at roughly the same time. When the waves meet, minions will spread out their attacks on the three enemy melee minions regardless of distance. They will ignore enemy champions until a champion walks much closer to them or until meeting with the enemy wave. Top and bottom lanes' minions are ghosted for 28 seconds, while middle lane minions are ghosted for 18 seconds. The first wave's minions have modified behaviour. Minions respect unit collision as well as player-generated terrain. Upon finding one, they will move toward and attack it within their range. While minions have not acquired a target, they will strictly path linearly along a lane until they find a valid enemy unit.

After the 25 minute mark, one spawns every wave.

After the 15 minute mark, one spawns every two waves.

For the first 15 minutes, one spawns every three waves.

They do not spawn on waves in which super minions are present.If all of a team's inhibitors are destroyed, two super minions spawn on each lane for the enemy team instead.If a team's inhibitor is destroyed, one super minion spawns for the enemy team on the same lane as the destroyed inhibitor.Each wave comprises several types of minions, which spawn in this order: Minions start spawning from each Nexus at 1:05 and keep spawning in waves every 30 seconds for the rest of the match. The thin, long segments represent the minions' regular route along each lane that they march along immediately after spawning. Howling Abyss The thick, short segments at each line's end represent the spawning point for each lane (the point at which minions appear on the map).
