We already knew that. Everything is coded as a minion. It's an geeky in-joke from the old Warcraft3 DotA and early LoL days. Please don't murder me. https://w

    I think it is natural that every game engine eventually winds up with some sort of god object placed into a recursive, tree-like structure. You need some abstraction to represent "a thing in the world" and usually a way to say if a thing is subordinate to another thing. Minon, GameObject, Actor, Item, etc., are all solving the same problem.
