Should minion last hitting be a thing?

As a lowly silver, I've never really been good at last hitting. I know it's something that you can get better at if you practice it, and it doesn't seem at all bad once you get the hang of it. On the other hand, I've had friends that have moved over to Heroes of the Storm, saying that the fact that you don't need to last hit takes a load off of the stress in lane. So I'm curious as to everybody else's thoughts, from Bronze to Diamond. What do you think about last hitting?

Removal of last hitting removes laning. There is no laning in Heroes. It's a different game.

I would probably quit League if they got rid of last hitting. Not even joking. Unless I get an aggressive support, I'm an extremely passive player. An ideal game for me is to avoid dying, accumulate gold advantage through cs and a kill or two, take the outer towers, group for dragon, group for mid inner tower. If all of that goes down without a hitch, we probably won the game. Gold advantage through farm is just a crucial part of how I play.

If you don't like last hitting, League is not for you.

last hit is important to get gold and to try not letting your enemy get it. that's the point, adding a difficulty. in dota 2, you can last hit your own miniions to deny your enemy a lot of golds (so you have 2 last hitting to handle). each game has its rules

I wish they made it easier for mages lol. Right now it feels dumb. :P Especially with the minions fucking around and ceasing to continue their autoattacks, which leads to you fucking up your income.

The thing is man if last hitting weren't a thing then early game champs couldn't abuse the enemy laner. The way league works is there are strong points and weak points of every champion, and if you take away farming/last hitting then that removes most champions strong/weak points and scalers would dominate since they could just be passive until they roflstomp their way to victory. Also last hitting is another way to outplay your opponent and is an integral part of the skill matchup that is league of legends. :)
