Levi being really skilled is a really lame reason to like him IMO. He's not complex, and you can see a character like him in almost every series. He's the typical dick dude who's the most skilled that 16-year old girls pee themselves for (no wonder his backstory manga is classified as Shōjo).

And no, he's not important AT ALL. In fact, the only time he contributes in the story is when he stops his squad from killing Eren. And when he provokes Annie into calling an army of Titans to eat her (lol). And claiming Mikasa isn't as skilled as him is so painfully obvious... she's a 15 year old girl and Levi is a 30-something dude. Have Mikasa train for 15 more years, and she will surely be better than Levi.

Funny that people defend his importance just because he's popular, but Erwin himself claims Eren is humanity's last hope. Levi isn't.
