Welcome, summoners! This sticky thread is your one-stop resource for understanding and mastering the art of farming in League of Legends (LoL). Farming, also known as CS (Creep Score), is the process of killing minions and neutral monsters to gain gold and experience, vital to winning the game.
1. Understanding the Basics
1.1 What is Farming?
Farming refers to the action of killing minions and neutral monsters in LoL. This grants you gold and experience points, helping you level up, buy items, and gain an advantage over the enemy team.
1.2 Importance of Farming
Farming is crucial for several reasons:
2. Farming Techniques
2.1 Last-Hitting
Last-hitting is the act of dealing the killing blow to a minion or monster. Only the killing blow grants gold, so it's crucial to time your attacks.
2.2 Wave Management
Wave management involves controlling the minion wave's position to create strategic advantages. Key methods include freezing (keeping the wave near your turret), slow pushing (gradually building a larger wave), and fast pushing (quickly shoving the wave into the enemy turret).
2.3 Jungle Farming
Jungle farming refers to killing neutral monsters in the jungle. Each camp has a respawn timer, so efficient pathing is crucial to maximize gold and experience.
3. Tips to Improve Farming
3.1 Practice in the Practice Tool
Use the Practice Tool to practice last-hitting. Start with no items or abilities and aim for at least 80 CS by 10 minutes.
3.2 Watch Pro Players
Observing professional players can help you understand better wave management strategies and jungle farming paths.
3.3 Upgrade Your Equipment Appropriately
Depending on your role and champion, you might need certain items to farm more effectively.
4. Understanding Roles and Their Farming Priorities
Different roles have different farming responsibilities:
5. When to Recall in Lane
Recalling allows you to return to your base to regenerate health and mana, purchase items, or respond to threats elsewhere on the map. The timing of your recall is crucial to maintain lane control and avoid missing out on experience and gold.
Here are some guidelines for when to recall:
5.1 After Pushing Your Lane
When you've successfully pushed your minion wave under the enemy turret, it can be a good time to recall. Your opponent will be busy dealing with minions, giving you time to return without losing many minions.
5.2 Low Health/Mana
If your health or mana is too low to stay in lane safely, it might be time to recall. However, try to do this when your minion wave is in a favorable position, so you don't lose too much gold and experience.
5.3 Purchase Power Spike Items
If you have enough gold to buy an item that greatly increases your power (like BF Sword for ADCs), it can be worth recalling to gain an immediate advantage.
5.4 Vision and Safety
If you suspect the enemy jungler might be coming to your lane for a gank, and you're in a vulnerable position, it might be safer to recall and return with full health and new items.
6. How to Farm with Perfect Timing
Perfecting your farming timing is all about last-hitting, wave management, and understanding the damage output of your champion.
6.1 Understand Your Champion’s Damage
Each champion deals a different amount of damage and has a different attack animation. Spend time in the Practice Tool with your preferred champions to get a feel for their auto-attack timing.
6.2 Predict Minion Health Bars
Keep an eye on the health bars of your minions as well as the enemy's. This can help you predict when you need to step up for a last hit or when you might need to use an ability to secure a last hit.
6.3 Practice Last Hitting Under Tower
Towers deal significant damage to minions. The general rule for last-hitting under tower is: melee minions can take two tower shots and then an auto-attack, while caster minions require an auto-attack, one tower shot, then another auto-attack.
6.4 Use Abilities Wisely
Some champions farm better using abilities. However, be aware of your mana pool and the potential need for those abilities in a sudden fight or escape.
Remember, practice makes perfect. The more you practice your timing, the better you'll get at securing last-hits, leading to better farm and a significant advantage in your games.

1.2 Importance of Farming
Farming is crucial for several reasons:
- Gold: Farming is the most consistent and reliable source of gold. Gold is used to buy items and improve your champion's stats.
- Experience: Minions and monsters provide experience when killed, allowing your champion to level up and unlock or strengthen their abilities.
- Lane Control: Farming allows you to manage the wave, pushing it towards the enemy tower or drawing it closer to yours.

- Jungle: Farm the neutral monsters in the jungle.
- Mid: Solo laner responsible for farming minions in the mid lane.
- Bot/ADC: Primarily responsible for farming minions in the bot lane.
- Support: Unlike other roles, supports generally do not farm minions, instead aiding their ADC.
