So during the CLG scrims yesterday I heard Doublelift complain about smartcasted Q on Varus not going in the direction he wants. I didn't believe him and tried it out; surely enough, it's true! If you simply tap Q to smartcast his Piercing Arrow as fast as possible, it doesn't take the position of your mouse pointer when you cast the skill, but rather, it takes the position of your mouse pointer when the skill comes out.

Let's say you're kiting backwards while autoattacking and you want to throw a quick Q; you mouse over the opponent, tap Q, let go, then right click behind yourself to move backwards. Even though you completed the "casting" with your Q aimed precisely at the enemy, your Q will end up firing backwards and miss. What's up with that? Does this mean I simply can't use a Varus Q while kiting backwards?

I've also seen this, especially bothering when I want to pop out passive from W fast or while doing golems.

I've seen this too, but I knew the problem.

Happened to me a few times too. I thought I was just being too hasty with the clicking.. Guess not.

Also, sometimes Nidalee's Pounce will randomly make her jump the exact opposite way of which she is facing.... incredibly frustrating.
