Got say its required on ryze just start playing him no way you can hit q that fast without smart casting on or all of his abilities.

i smart cast everything, try smart casting on easy champions or spells. Riven is very easy to smart cast on, caitlyn's 90-calibur net, Graves' Quickdraw, etc. those are really basic ones to start with then work your way up.

I actually learned how to smart cast on Ezreal, then switched over everyone to smart cast. Try him first, it will take a few games to get used to but worth it imo.

I don't have a direct quote but I was watching SK Gaming's mid player Oceloteworld, and he said that he smartcasts abilities that he needs to get off quickly, so Annie's burst or LeBlanc. But he doesn't smartcast Ahri's abilities because they're skillshots and he wants to check the max range.

I like smart casting skillshots because I can get them off so quickly, although sometimes I miss skillshots with Nidalee usually i can get the spear off alot quicker than most people can react which is why i like it

Not sure how smart casting would be good on cait and nid honestly i think nid needs the accurate aiming if you **** up one spear almost all your dmg gone.

Faster spear throws = less time for enemy to run away :)

Smart casting is better.
There is no scenario where smart casting would be inferior to manual casting.
It takes a while to get used to, but that's just improving gameplay, learning new stuff.

I play a lot of Nidalee I pretty much have a ballpark range on her spear so it's normally not an issue.

Missing a spear is pretty punishing in team fights, but in the grand scheme of things it won't be. It's actually pretty difficult to miss a spear in a team fight. Even then, Nidalee isn't designed for head on team fights, so even landing a spear is only minor dps compared to cassiopeia or ryze.

^ 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 play with smartcasting now. I tried it first one Brand game and totally dominated! Was sooo fun, and I hit my q's way easier. Now I smartcast everything. I have yet to start smartcasting summoners though, might make ignite way easier!

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

Switched to smartcasting due to Cassio and now I turn it off for just few skills on some champions due to that range indicator. Going to try map normal cast on zxcv or similar to counter also these few moments when I need it.

Well, I haven't tried. I just don't really care to. I prefer improving myself in other ways.
