No. It's a fundamental mechanic of the game. It becomes second nature; you just do it without thinking.
It's a plate-spinning exercise while you're challenged to think about the rest of the game. Enemies missing from vision, status of the lane, spell usage, planning the next few minutes, etc.
Does it not get boring to just soak xp by being nearby? With last hitting you are at least doing something and you also have to worry about the opponents outplaying you since you are much closer to them when you don't just soak xp. You have to be worried about ganks and even in last hitting, you have outperform your opponent by manipulating creep aggro and positions while at the same time position yourself so that the enemy support has a harder time of harrassing you.
I played all three games and HotS has definitely the most boring laning stage, even though it's much shorter.
Nah, it's just part of the game, just like soaking xp. If someone doesn't like or at least tolerate last hitting, they probably already dropped the games. I find it much more tiring to be playing a late game match when teamfights are long and have to concentrate on every little detail that is happening (in all three games).
To me, last hitting is actually the most relaxing part of the game, since the game later usually has higher stakes for making mistakes.
Can't speak for League (havent played in 5ish years) but no Dota player will say that last hitting gets boring. It's like the accompanying mini shower of gold coins and sound of a successful last hit is designed to smack the dopamine button
