How do the minions work (Spawn) | Forums

[DerHerbman]

Hi all,
I often have the feeling that one side has more minions on the battlefield then the other. Of course it feels like the opponent team always has more .
I tried to figure out how the spawn is done.
There are some possibility:
First its a time based mechanic and every team spawns the same amount of minions. Then there is the possibility of a momentum based mechanic. So if a team falls back, more minions will come or vice versa. And the last one is that every time a Hero dies he spawns with some minions.

I think its a combination of a constant equal minion spawn, plus every time someone dies he will spawn with X minions.

Is that right or am I wrong?

Due to to those "Kill 300 Soldiers" (KI) Orders I've noticed that there are different "spawn waves".
Somtimes only a few soldiers spawn (wave 1) and sometimes they spawn with a bigger second wave.
I think it depends on the objectives but don't know exactly how.

Right, the objectives can also have an affect on the minions, good one!

hero spawn doesnt influence it in my experience...

i've spawned plenty of times without any minions spawning with me.

can confirm the 2 different sort of waves though (either one wave, or a double-wave will spawn), but no clue what triggers it.

You definitely get less when you have the control point. You get a line of minions which is less than a usual wave. The team that doesn't own the point gets more for sure.

The line also walks slower (by marching I think) assumedly because they're simply reinforcements instead of attacking the point.
