Auto Attack Click should only target minions and monsters

I get that it's nice to just lazily hit auto attack click when you're farming mid-late game because you basically oneshot minions at that point and laboriously clicking on each one can be annoying. That's why I think the mechanic should be left in for that purpose.

BUT

I think auto attack click has indirectly made assassins need to be very overpowered to be viable and has made traditional marksman ADCs more powerful than they otherwise would be without it. And that's for one basic reason: it negates all "element of surprise" mechanics.

There's significantly less risk for a carry marksman to facecheck a bush because this mechanic gives them a guaranteed click of damage. And imagine if Rengar DIDN'T oneshot you immediately after he ults on top of you - well, the ADC auto attack clicked so when Rengar comes into vision he will instantly eat a crit requiring no skill from the ADC and take 90% of his health before he even gets into melee range.

It's funny that many people call ADC a braindead role because "all you have to do is click on champions" but 99% of ADCs don't even do that, they just have to "click in the vague direction of a champion."

No one wins from this mechanic. The game becomes less diverse and more binary, and the numbers of ADCs and assassins constantly need to be tweaked to give each of them a turn to be overpowered to keep the mobs at bey.

Don't remove the mechanic, it's nice for last hitting, but don't allow it to target champions. The game will be better for it.
