So i was about to back as 
and i ER'd the wave, suddenly a caster minion moves to the right and sidesteps my ulti and then goes back to its original path.
Another story
Im playing karma mid and i RQ the wave, all of the melee minions randomly move and i miss half of them (and look like a moron).
WHY DOES THIS HAPPEN [sg-janna]
Shuyin17818 votesI love when I'm going to last hit a minion Multiple minions stop attacking who they are aiming at, and target the minion I'm trying to last hit, then go right back to attacking their original target.
The real trolls of the game are the ones we can't report.
FireDrizzle17 votesWhat pisses me off is when a minion runs past me and 4 or 5 of my minions to suicide to the tower.
nm101012 votesEvery time I place e on a melee minion as Malz the minion sprints past all my minions to stop the bounce...
Bishasaurus Flex12 votesYEEEEES THIS
StairCasexd10 votesIt's really stupid when the cannon randomly switches.
Mysticman898 votesI assume rioters are assuming direct control of minions from time to time in order to troll players.
That or their pathing is relatively naive, so they'll all calclulate a path to wherever independent of all the others (so they don't pay attention to where the others will be), then as they path they'll recalculate their route since suddenly another minion is in the way so they start taking a roundabout way (assuming the other minions will stay put), then after they start their roundabout path they'll realise the other minion moved, so they recalculate and end up going basically their original path.
flibitydoo5 votesto quote the lolwikia page on minion behaviour
Behaviour Minions walk along a lane until they find an enemy unit. When they find an enemy unit, they attack it. When they find several enemy units they choose their target using a priority system that follows this order:
Enemy champions attacking an allied champion. ** Enemy minions attacking an allied champion. Enemy minions attacking an allied minion.** Enemy turrets attacking an allied minion. Enemy champions attacking an allied minion. The closest enemy minion. The closest enemy champion. ** Once a minion has chosen a target, it only switches to a new target if the new target has higher priority. If they see a new target with the same priority as their current target, they keep attacking their current target.**
Minions reevaluate their target every few seconds. For instance, if an enemy champion attacks an allied champion and then stops attacking, minions will keep targeting the enemy champion for a short time after he stops attacking.
every few seconds is the RNG component since there is no specified timer that Riot has given us. Which means it's most likely a randomized value since the community can't find it out either.
minions being programmed to "defend other minions" is what probably prompts minions during these randomized checks to switch targets. If a minion randomly decides to check, and it sees another minion vs minion battle, (which will usually be how the minions get low on hp for last hitting) it will switch and attempt to assist. Which can fuddle with last hits and because the timer on when it checks being RNG, feels really unlucky.
What really annoys me personally though, is when I auto a minion and they just randomly decide to drop their minion vs minion battles, ignore the rules (priority on the list, is to defend itself from other minions before defending itself from champions) and suddenly start hitting me.
Cowseed5 votesWell if someone was about to shoot you in the fucking face with a ball of energy that can crack the ground or fry your eyes and entire body with a laser beam I think you'd also move as it is the sane thing to do.
Ariel the Cruel4 votesBecause it saw me in brush and started to attack. Then remembered it's not supposed to act until another champion sees me and returned to what it was doing (sometimes revealing me to another champion in the process).
DuskDaUmbreon3 votesI...actually don't have this issue...
SH Azykan2 votesneither do I, I wanted to see if there was a video with this one. But never get the "minions are retarded" highlight videos to back up what they say =\
DuskDaUmbreon2 votesOh. Minions are definitely retarded, as they'll often all rather focus on killing enemy minions while being mowed down by the enemy champion, rather than finishing off the turret.. But they're predictably so.
Most of these threads are saying that their pathing is illogical and/or unpredictable, which they just don't appear to be. They're actually just like my ADC. Retarded as hell, but predictably retarded. :D
SH Azykan1 votesyeah I know they are predictably dumb, which is why the "chased me to my tower ignoring the wave" "minions pathed to avoid my skillshots" (Please you just aimed weird more likely) is what I want to see videos of. And agreed, might be better off with minion AI than a lot of ADC's; just give a cannon minion tristana's kit and the option to buy items and we might be good to go O: Actually not entirely true, minions still towerdive constantly...might be in the same boat
Terozu1 votesYes but minions actually hit the turret.
Thryale3 votesto block your skillshots, of course.
Every. Single. Time I want to poke with a skill shot, a random minion's like, "lol nope! get that crap outta here!"
CudyDarkyz2 votesI once had a melee minion stop focusing my melee minion do a lap around my casters then go back to focusing the same minion he left.
Sraeg20132 votesTrying missing an entire wave of last hits, because your minions keep on switching their aggro at the very last possible moment.
EkyonKun1 votestfw outplayed by minion
Skorch1 votesIf i had to guess, and this is REAAAAAAALLY stretching. But there is a chance something changed in their aggro range and they responded.
LazyW0lf1 votesI watched one my my melee minions run past all enemy melee minions to attack a ranged minion from behind while under tower.
