I'm learning last hitting minions and get the advices to kill minions under my turret.
But I'm with problems when my minion wave encounters the enemy minion wave.
I think kind of "chaotic" to detect when last hit the minion because sometimes a lot of friendly minions attacks only one enemy minion, and the hp lowers very fast… Sometimes I think myself challenging my minions about who will last hit the enemy!
Another point is, when minions lines clashes (let's say by example, 6 allied vs 6 enemies) and each battle against each, the hp of all minions will low at same time, and (in theory) all 6 can die at same time. And potencially I will lose 5 minion kills! How do I to avoid this?
How do I to beat my minions when battling against enemy minion waves?

Perfection comes with practice. Try to creat a custom game and practice last hiting when the minion waves are in the midle of the lane. It is also very important to learn how to last hit when the minions are under the enemy turret, or under your own.
With time you will find a way to last hit that is confortable for you. Personaly, i don't look at the actual health of the minions, instead, I try to pay attention at how fast the minions are losing hp. I try to stand near the minions that are losing hp faster, and hit them when I'm sure my damage will kill them.
If two or more minions are losing health at the same speed, you can kill them at the same time with some AoE hability, or if your damage is high enough, last hit one minion and let the other with hp enough to survive until you finish your attack, then simply last hit the other.
If you want, you can start practicing with meele champions, since they have higher AD. Champions like Jarvan and Sion are able to last hit very easily. Champions which attacks have long animations times (normally AP ones) are more difficult to master, since you will have to consider the animation time when last hitting.
Also, keep moving, this will help you since you can get close to the right minions faster. And make you a more unpredictable target to the enemy.
Good luck in your training.
