Smart Cast Questions

[quote=Focuscoene]Figures. Right when I start to establish good rhythms with my mains, I find out that this is a thing. From what you all are saying, it sounds like smart casting makes everything like Urgot's Q (when it's preceded by E, of course). Is that the idea? Also, is this some kind of add-on, or is it an in-game option? I'm hesitant to even mess with it, honestly. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right?[/quote]

[quote=taylordeath1]smart cast is my best friend[/quote]

[quote=IceCreamy]It's an in game option, just switch the keybindings and you're good to go :) And yes, [[Urgot]]'s [[Acid Hunter]] is a good one. A prime example would be [[Karthus]]' [[Lay Waste]] ;)[/quote]

[quote=NightlyIV]I just made the switch over myself in the last couple weeks and it was hardly noticeable, in a negative way. I did find that a lot of my my plays were better timed and more fluid, if that makes any sense. However some things like Blitz's pull took a bit to get adjusted to.[/quote]

[quote=Ilynx]If you are looking to do better in game and have faster reactions, I recommend it. It saves a lot of time in the long run and it is good to get used to early on.[/quote]

[/quote] I had this attitude for a LONG time (I started playing in earlyish S1 and have only been using smartcast for 2 weeks now) but I finally decided to try it out and trust me IT IS SO MUCH BETTER I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT IT With the new patch you just press escape and then all your hotkeys will appear and you can toggle smarcast for them just by clicking the ones you want and leaving the ones you don't want how they are. You can even do it for summoner spells and items I recommend learning the ranges and AoE of all the skills pretty well though And yeah it makes the spells you select like the default of Urgot's Q and Karthus' Q But trust me just try it and you won't be able to go back, it's just so much better for your life[/quote]

[quote=DillButt64]i tried to play cassiopia once, that was the day i decided to use smartcast and i have never went back ever like seriously how can you play a champion like cassiopia without smartcast, and most other mages[/quote]

[quote=Pølsemanden]Shoutout to anyone who used Annie in S1, DO NOT FLASH TIBBER WITH SMARTCAST BEFORE YOU REALISE THAT FLASH GOT NERFED - it sucks to flash tibber the ground in front of 5 persons - i don't realise it with anything but Annie, but whenever i play Annie i turn SMARTCAST off R just cuz old flash range is incorporated in my Annie combo >.> Also, i can't be the only one who keeps cancelling spells with rightclick when i have range indicators on, can i?[/quote]

[quote=Nera]Nope Polsen! whenever i know my spells wont hit or i misspressed my skill by accident i just right click move around and the skill gets cancelled even if i do have smartcast on:D Ever since i started playing Lux i decided to give smartcast a try and i just never went back. I have my range indicators on so that i can see the range (especially for new champs that i have never tried before.[/quote]

[quote=Nighthawk]Smartcast is especially important if you play mages. Let's say in a Brand vs Brand fight, one has smartcast and one doesn't. The one who has Smartcast wil ALWAYS win because he can cast his skills much faster. This is true for all mages.[/quote]
