Looks like sometimes the minion pathfinding breaks, resulting in one of them skipping a node (?) and going to the next one in a straight line (clip at the bottom, including demo)
Match ID 34982491, around the 14 minute mark
In this particular example: Amber side yellow lane, one of the minions went in a straight line straight from base towards where the guardian should be (as if it couldn't find either the zipline start or the walker point), while the other 3 of the pack followed the zipline correctly.
This can actually have big consequences; a single amber minion splitting off from the group means the wave can sometimes push way further than intended, which makes farming that wave way more risky for sapphire depending on the dropoff location. If this happens consistently in this lane and on this side only, that would mean on average, over a very large number of games, amber side has a soul lead in this lane.
Depending on when this happens (any time randomly? specific wave number? specific state of objectives in this lane?) it could make the difference between the lane being even and one side having a lead.
