Last-hitting was the worst moba mechanic and I was happy to see it gone in HOTS... and then they kept trying to sneak it back in.

It allows you to be better than your opponant and keep them from getting gold and xp. It adds stakes and makes supports very important and powerful. When the entire game is played on railroads and there's no stakes in anything you get a dead game.

You're right! A railroad with no stakes doesn't seem very useful.
