Bouncing minions waves

So, I made a post a while back asking how to do this. Some suggestions were made, but I didn't feel like I received an adequate answer. Now, I think I may have just figured it out, so I'd like to share with anyone interested. Keep in mind, that in solo-queue, you may just want to push waves towards your enemy in order to apply pressure against disorganized teams. Anyways...

Bouncing the wave (so that it pushes towards your turret) In order to do this, you want to last hit the tower at the same time the tower kills the last minion of your wave. The trick is, however, to have an enemy minion wave also attacking your minions under the turret. This way, the enemy wave is grouped up. They will then move towards your turret, where your minion wave is coming to lane single file. The grouped enemy minions will focus the first minion in line, ending its life first. The enemy wave then has more minions and will proceed to killing your wave faster. Thus, the enemy wave will end up pushing towards your turret.

This might be obvious, idk, but I think I just figured out the specifics and wanted to share. correct me if i'm wrong :P

That does work, but you don't actually have to work quite that hard. As long as all of your minions as dead when the tower dies, you can group the enemy minions yourself. Just tank them up for a second to two before leaving and they'll be grouped well enough to push against your minions.

You pretty much got it.

But you can also bounce the wave off turret without killing the turret.
