Transfusion Support - Doesn't randomly pick minions?

Just got transfusion support, and based on the text, I understand that it should randomly pick a nearby minion?

Right now, it always looks like it picks the closest minion, regardless of how many minions you have. This makes it unusable for skills like holy strike, as it always seems to pick just one of the floating minions.

How to reproduce:

Skill Setup: Corrupting Fever skill + lifetap + transfusion + automation, get it to >200 life cost to see it run every second.

Have 2+ minions (ex: golems of hordes).

Turn on automation or hold down the skill.

See that the soul eating only affects the closest minion.

Bumping this; this basically means there's no guaranteed way to keep up soul eater unless you run exactly one minion, seems excessively restrictive ad contrary to gem text.

I would also like to add that dead spectres is still a valid target to get souls. Because they stay very close to the player, if a spectre dies no other minions will ever get any souls.
