Makes me feel like I'm a pro by last hitting everything

I personally enjoy it, as it adds more depth to the game. If you're not getting your last hits, you're not getting the gold you need.

If you could just be in the general vicinity of a minion, and get gold from it; that would be pretty boring -.-; It wouldn't keep you alert.

As Nasus or Veigar, I absolutely love it.
As a ranged AD, I absolutely hate it.

why? My job as Nasus or Veigar is specifically to last hit, which would make myself strong enough to take down the enemy team.

As a ranged AD, it's my absolute job to last hit. We go support bottom SIMPLY for me to alst hit. The pressure when I miss or fail to last hit makes it a pain.

Most of the time I do. However when I play champ who is difficult to last hit with (swain for example) and miss bunch of easy CS it becomes frustrating.

But think about other games that don't have last-hitting as a core mechanic, or at least something that you don't have to pay attention to. For example, most RTS games don't favor last-hitting as strongly as LoL does. They provide engagement in different ways, like greater focus on positioning, or concentrating on controlling a particular space, or greater resource management. Taking the attention a player focuses on last-hitting and allowing it to be used somewhere else could be pretty interesting, depending on what the "somewhere else" is.

I feel that a game like this NEEDS last hitting as a mechanic, at least without restructuring the ENTIRE game....and then it wouldn't be LoL.

Could you imagine how boring the game would be if there was no need to last hit? Everyone would just sit in XP range of the minions and level up in complete safety.

You think last hitting creates stagnant gameplay? No way, it helps remove it. Without actively needing to farm your gold, there would literally be ZERO incentive to put yourself in any danger whatsoever.

So yes, I enjoy last hitting. At least as the mechanics for current MOBA's work now. That's not saying that last hitting couldn't be removed as a mechanic...it could, for sure. But not with the MOBA's out today.

It is a mean to separate the good mechanical players from less skilled players. Laning is about last hitting, harassing the enemy player and controlling the minion wave. If last hitting is taken out of the game, I imagine it would be very dull during the first few levels.

I think it makes the game more interesting. Having to make sure you last hit while avoiding pokes/poking.
