In league of legends you could previously "auto-cancel", and critical hits have different recognisable animations. So if you were about to crit a minion you could cancel the auto-attack and "store" the crit to hit an enemy with it.

I think that's been patched now but it was there for a good while.

This existed in Dota2 for some time as well; one could use an (illegal) mod to quickly start/stop attacks until it found a crit animation.
