with deny system the game will be more open, u can steal the enemies last hit so u will think twice about shootng the creep where the enemy wont steal yours. Farming wont be as easy as now. Dota has the advantage above lol in this gameplay mechanism. I wish riot takes this into consideration

This isn't Dota.

This is a old topic, they are never going to bring minion denial into the game.

because it would fundamentally change everything.

It makes little to no sense to kill your own creep. The original WC3 only included that mechanic to skip some of the pointless processes of setting up suicide squads and have them suicide by enemy camps to make more "food spaces" for the more elite troops in the mid-late game stage (due to the limitation of the finite food resource system).
Denying was originally unintended in DotA and was loosely considered an exploit in which the designers tried very hard to remove, and only gave up because the engine of WC3 made it impossible to be removed. It's only kept during the transition to Dota2 because it's been there for so long, not because it's actually an intuitive mechanic.
LoL isn't Dota, so things are going to be different here and there.

"Denying" farm used to be a thing in League where you just zone and poke so hard that you have to miss minions or else you'd die, therefore making poke-but-not-kill lanes actually relevant.

Now people just play whack-a-mole while dodging skillshots.

But if we're talking about wanting to make it like how DotA works, it's gonna be another big revamp on the system.
