Last hitting is the act of attacking an enemy minion or moster that has low enough health that you finish it off.
Minions start spawning at 1:15 at the Nexus on
each side of the map. For every 3 minutes, the minions have an "upgrade cycle." The minions will get continously stronger, with every type of minion gaining different stats. Even though the minions spawn at 1:15, the upgrade cycle starts at 0:00, meaning that at 3 minutes, the minions already have higher power and a higher gold worth.
