When to Use
Use this Creep Score (CS) per minute calculator to check your farming efficiency in MOBAs like League of Legends or Dota 2. Gold from CS drives item progression and power spikes.
What the result tells you
Farming is the steady income that funds your items, so CS per minute is a core measure of a laner's economy. Around 8 a minute is strong for a solo laner, and pros push toward 10. A low figure usually means time lost to deaths, roams or being pushed off the lane.
Benchmarks & Interpretation
Here is how typical results are categorized and interpreted:
| Value / Range | Rating | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Above 8.5 CS/min | Elite Farmer | Exceptional lane control. Maximize gold income and leads team item builds. |
| 6.5 – 8.5 CS/min | Competent | Solid farming. Balanced lane trades with consistent map rotations. |
| Below 6.5 CS/min | Inefficient | Losing farm during rotations or trades. Work on last-hitting mechanics under turret. |
Pro Tips & Advice
Boost your CS per minute by securing lane farm before rotating to map objectives, and harvesting neutral jungle camps when safe.
