Every time I CS, I normally leave the creep at ~5-10 hp. This happens about half of the time or more, so this means that the enemy usually has twice the CS I have, assuming I haven't put enough pressure to make them mess up. So...
How do I stop this habit, aside from, "practice, practice, practice"?
TheCeeJay5 votesWhat I do that helps me is kinda test my damage on minions. I know at level 1 on like Irelia I do, let's say, 68 damage to minions with my runes and masteries. I click on minions and wait for other minions to attack them and wait for it to be as close to 68 but obviously below it.
Go back, buy items, attack a minion once to see the damage number then wait for the minions to get below that HP. Aside from that, just practice really.
Brendy Bear2 votesYou have to get a feel for the champion. Take notice of how much damage your auto-attacks will do and last-hit. One common problem I see, is that people will try to only last hit... Don't be afraid to use spells on minions too for the gold. If you're playing champions with low base attack like Swain or have too much trouble last hitting, try taking some attack damage runes to make it easier at first, and then slowly take off the attack damage runes when you're confident enough to last hit without attack damage runes.
Woodakoodashooda2 votesTry avoiding attacking the same minion more than twice. If you're more focused on farming than poking then conserve your resources and use your abilities against minions you won't be able to last hit.
xJLGx1 votesget good at hitting minions with no runes masteries you will never have a problem last hittihng get 100 perfect in a custom
vIbvdOwbko1 votesIt's literally just practicing and acquiring the feel for it. Just play more games. Different champions have different autoattack animations, wind-ups, and speeds.
Kaeblen1 votesso, questions: Do you use champion abilities to help you cs? (when practicing, don't. when in real matches...it varies, still try not to)
have you tried repeated 5 min custom games to practice? (it didn't take me very many of these to triple my average cs)
Do you click the minion and check its actual hp total, or just guess by the health bar?
How do you normally do with trades against your lane opponent?
last one here is curiosity: what champions have you been using?

When in the game, and how often do you check your CS against your opponents?
for myself, the biggest issue for cs is that I use a large number of champions and they all have different attack speeds and more importantly their attack animations take different amounts of time to complete. the only ways to get used to that are 1) practice 2) play a warm-up custom game before going ranked.

I only use champion abilities if it's the only I can get it without being harassed. Also, if two enemies are at low health, I'll use my AA and the ability to secure both the minions.
I have not tried custom games to practice. I never understood how they could help, when in a real scenario, I won't get such luxury of never being hit.
I did not check the hp by clicking, only by guessing via health bar. As TheCeeJay said, I'll be clicking more often. Although I feel that his make me worse, as I stare at the current hp SO MUCH, that I freak out on the exact moment, and lose the CS, anyway.
I normally trade when I see the opponent trying to cs. However, I haven't memorized the exact AA ranges, so I sometimes fail to do that because I don't get close enough in time.
I check my CS so often that if the enemy has WAY MORE CS, I get demotivated and stop trying.
Kaeblen1 votesthe idea behind the custom games is to get perfect cs for 10 minutes.
also, you can pit yourself 2v1 against lane-bullys, to practice under fire. It'll never be as hard as a real match, but if you can get the perfect score it does help.
aside from that (not being an expert myself) I'd say you're doing things about right and all I can really point to is practice. Sorry.
Paroe1 votesRunes. But really, once you get the basics down playing league move on to dota for awhile. learning to last hit in dota WILL help you in league; Dota skills are 100% transferable to league (although league skills only translate the basics)

I've only played DOTA 2 a little bit, and I was HORRENDOUS at CS. It got to the point where I only played support at that point. Also, I have AD as well as AS runes. It still doesn't feel like enough.

Rather than attack speed, you want more AD. Some champions have really shitty animations though. Swain is really hard to CS with in that regard.
Melee Form1 votesPerhaps you are focusing too much on creating pressure in lane. It's good to have pressure but if you are missing cs for it then you need to just focus on the basics.
