I agree on making the misses seem more exciting, I wouldn't hate missing near as much if it came with some varied and cool animations like a shield block, weapon parry, or my attack bouncing off of a thick monster hide. But after watching the enemy just side step an attack every time, it's both boring and annoying, plus it makes firebolt feel even dumber somehow, at least in my opinion. Watching an enemy sidestep a spell like firebolt would be awesome if the spell/cantrip actually went past them an hit a wall or something, but instead it just randomly explodes in their face.
