[IDEA] A Simpler Last Hit Notification

Whenever you kill a unit, the amount of gold you earned for that kill floats above it. I don't know if this is a big deal for you, but I don't think it's information we need to see every single kill.

I propose just having a coin float over the enemy to confirm last hit, and leave the gold calculation to the lower side of the UI. It's not like we manually compute those numbers, or don't know the amount of gold we're already getting by now.

We are at the time of cleaning up unnecessary things from the game for clarity, I think the amount of gold per unit killed is information that only repeats itself and should be omitted.

Edit: For new players, we can always keep it in some game modes, like the turret range visual in AI matches.

It needs to be kept for new players. I'm pretty sure you can manually turn it off in game settings though, just a heads up.

I see your point and I like the idea! I feel like we don't need to be reminded of the gold amount every single time.

One downside to removing it would be that newer players won't know how important it is to secure the cannon minion, or how much more valuable jungle monsters are than normal creeps.

I think they also need a clear way to relate gold potential so they can remove the redundant CS text.
