So, assuming that the no minion side has passive xp gain, I would say... the side without the minions win. The other team get no income of gold apart from innate and the jungle, which is not a lot. You'll expect something like 6 items v 3 items at 40 mins. Then it's just a simple matter of killing, pushing an winning.
