If you haven't tried, how can you express yourself in such a thread?
If you for some reason want to follow my ranked journey to gold, you can do it Here.

I am against asking for rep, only rep me if you think I contributed well or said something wise.

Because I think it is just making it easier for a lot of people.

So, you won't take the #1 easiest step in improving your play but you'll look for other, harder ways?

You're weird.

It's like everyone having a photographic memory for a test but not wanting to use it. You're wasting resources that everyone has access to.


Thank you to jhoijhoi for the sig, and all the dividers in the guide.

Why would you ever not try to make the game easier to play?

Once I got used to smartcasting I started using it on every champion and I can't imagine going back.

What I found really helpful for learning smartcasting was Morgana, especially in bot games. Because you're spamming W for farm you get an excellent feel for landing spells. And if you can land Morg's Q you can probably land any skillshot. Just turn everything to smartcasting and chill mid with Morg, although I suppose Gragas or any other hero with AOE farm spells would work.

^ I agree with winter, the only scenario I can even think of, is if you don't know the size of Event Horizon :o


i'm pretty sure you cannot smartcast Viktor's Death Ray and Rumble's The Equalizer or atleast if you do smartcast it you won't be able to aim it. Never played either of them just what I've heard

I smart-cast on champions with skill shots and rarely champions with targeted skills.
People ask me all the time if I smart-cast with Akali, nope. With a targeted dash I don't want to miss the champion by accidentally leaping onto a minion.

that's true for any champion with a targeted spell, you could miss it. But for burst mages and assassins i don't understand why you wouldn't want to smartcast. Your goal is to get damage out as quickly as possible

^That

Also, if you're worried about missing them, you can cast on their portrait :O
At least I'm pretty sure you can O.o
Don't quote me on that >.<
