About this calculator
The CS/min calculator measures a player's efficiency in killing minions and monsters in games like League of Legends. It divides total creep score (CS) by game time in minutes, showing how many enemies are eliminated per unit of time. This metric is crucial for evaluating damage output and last-hit consistency.
The calculation is straightforward: input total minion and monster kills (CS) and game duration in minutes. The formula used is CS ÷ minutes. For example, 300 CS in 20 minutes equals 15 CS/min. This helps compare players or track progress over time.
Use this tool to monitor performance during long matches, adjust farming strategies, or identify last-hit mistakes. It's common in MOBA games, where controlling minions directly impacts resource purchase and positioning.
Important note: the calculation ignores time variations like pauses or interruptions. Also, high CS doesn't guarantee victory if resources aren't invested properly in the game.
