Will autopathing ever get fixed or removed?

Getting screwed over by autopathing feels terrible. The worst example is when you are against Anivia and she walls off a part of the jungle so your character proceeds to turn around and walk into her team instead of just walking up to the wall and stopping. There are also plenty of other instances like when trying to run away or chase someone by baron/dragon pit and you click on the other side of the wall which sends your character in the complete opposite direction.

An easy solution would be to make it so pathing functions differently while your screen is locked. By differently I mean just as I described in the Anivia example. Walk as close to your mouse as possible before running into a wall and stopping. It makes sense to auto path for a jungler while they are looking at the lanes between camps but it makes no sense to be trying to walk towards a wall on a champion that has a dash (or you have flash) to accidentally click on the other side of the wall you want to dash over only to turn around and walk into your pursuers.

Don't play like a bot? Lol

Yeah, because it's playing like a bot when I get walled off by the second tower in mid lane going towards raptors and then turn around walking under tower before getting stunned by Anivia and dying under tower. I was clicking by raptors, wall gets placed, character turns around walking in the complete opposite direction. Another one is I'm trying to ward over a wall but instead of just dropping the ward over the wall I start walking into the enemy Blitzcrank for absolutely no reason. Why not just walk up to the wall and drop the ward instead of walking all the way around opposite the direction I'm clicking? That is poor programming and I gave an easy fix. There is no reason for autopathing to exist while playing with the screen locked because you are focused around your character while it is locked and can always click where you want to go. I never click inside dragon pit from behind it if I want to go there while locking the screen. I will click multiple times making my own path to get there unless I'm looking at something else like what is happening in middle or bottom lane while walking to dragon.

Yeah it's really annoying when you're trying to ward over a wall.
