Food for thought for minion rules: I had a problem using 4e minions in my 5e game, because one of my players is a wizard with Magic Missile. Creates 3+ darts that automatically hit targets. Completely made them irrelevant. The point of minions is that you can use a LOT of them. Burning a spell slot to kill 3 minions when you're facing 20 seems like good action economy nonsense to me.

Or you can fireball 40 minions in a hallway and kill them all, much to the disappointment of the DM. Hallway full of melted hobgoblins.
