This info helps me last hit because I can know the minions hp based on the timer instead of clicking on all of them.

I'd like to clarify a few details. The minions spawn at 1:30 and get their first buff at 3:00. The next buffs they receive are every 3 minutes after that, so 6:00, 9:00, etc.

The first siege minion spawns on Wave 3, which is at 2:30 since each wave is 30 seconds apart. After that they spawn every third wave, so Wave 6, Wave 9, Wave 12, etc. In other words, siege minions spawn at 2:30, 4:00, 5:30, etc.

After 20 minutes however, the siege minions spawn at every other wave so they spawn at 20:30, 21:30, 22:30, etc.

NOW, THE INFO WE'VE ALL BEEN WAITING FOR... if you CS perfectly, by about 10:10 you can have a maximum of 107 CS from your lane alone. This is because 107 minions have spawned by 9:30 and I'm assuming about 40 seconds for the minions to walk to you and die.

Similarly, by about 20:10 you can have a maximum of 234 CS from your lane alone. Without teleport though, this is practically impossible because you have to go back to your base and walk back to lane.
