I use smartcast on burst champs only. I use them on LeBlanc, since you can cast both Q and R extremely quick. I also use smartcast for Ryze and such champs. Exception from burst mages on which I use smartcast is Ezreal.

Defeat is not the worst of failures. Not to have tried is the true failure.

123456 = Items
QWER = Smartcast
DF = Summoner spell
ZXCV = Normal cast

Works wonder, and someone stated in a similar thread a few weeks ago that a few pros do use this. It lets you use smartcast when you need it (most of the time) and gives you the reticle those few times you need it.

I think smart cast is just making the game a little easier. I will not use it. I don't need it to hit the enemy or get my spells of quickly. I think you should learn to fix your mistakes, not find something that completely prevents them. I thought this game was about skill, not letting the computer decide who has the best 'skill-set' and the computer do the work for them.

Because you have to do less work. It makes the game seem slightly more boring to me.

So killing less is boring? With smartcast you get so much deadlier on champs like LeBlanc. You need to point, click, point, click and so on just to get one combo, meanwhile you can just pres keys an combo will be done like 60% faster. And this is what wins 1v1 matchups when it comes to champs like these.

What doesn't kill us makes us stronger.

I love smart casting.

Some champs, smart-casting is amazing on, like Ryze. I don't like to smart-cast Veigar's Event Horizon, can I can't tell where the margins are. But for most of my champs, I smartcast.
I also smarctast Ignite, I put them to my default keys. Like I put my non-smartcast buttons as Shift + Q, but for smart-cast, I just put them on QWE.

Thanks

You could always turn on range indicators for smartcasting.

You can see the range, and the only downside is a brief delay before casting.

What in the world does the computer decides? Smartcasting a skillshot means the skillshot will be thrown towards your mouse cursor.
If anything, it makes the game more convenient and somewhat less vulnerable to lags due to the fact you cant f-up your keyboard/mouse click order. It would be like saying playing football with cleats is lame because it makes the game easier...
