I smart cast most things.

Key exceptions being Veigar's .
And every ability on LB, i do non-smart cast. Habit was too strong to break.

i use it on everything

items, summoner spells, regular spells, even rumble ult because im insane

only thing I don't smartcast is wards (which for me is the number 5 slot)

I'd recommend smartcasting. It will suck at first, but force yourself to do it, it will make you a better player in the long run
Thanks for the Signature MissMaw!

Yeah it seems better indeed. Why not wards though?

Lots of thanks to the amazing Nameless Bard for this epic signature!

I also smart cast everything besides Shyvana's ult (Am on the phone and don't remember ATM). I used to think it wasn't too helpful, but it has drastically helped my reaction time (Especially with my lag).

Dunno about wards though. I sometimes do and sometimes don't smart cast them. Probably because it is somewhat more reliable for me to not smart cast them for whatever reason.
Many thanks to Xiao, jhoijhoi, TinyStar, Tsuki, and WOMBO for the sigs!

I find it overrated, I never smartcast and still hit most skillshots timely. As for bursters, hardly stops me, only one I know I delay a bit is Cass.

Maybe you don't want to accidentally use up your ward on a useless spot and waste 75 or 125 gold. That's why I don't smart cast wards though. But on Lee Sin, smart casting wards is very helpful.

Overall smartcasting increases your reaction time, but you have to be familiar with the abilities' ranges. Accidentally casting an ability when you are just out of range can cost you a kill(s).
Thanks TinyStar for the amazing sig<3
Care to check out my Mordekaiser guide? I'd appreciate it :D

smartcasting just speeds up things, but can sometimes be inaccurate.

I use it on everything but nid spears and ults. Just to make sure I get my aim right.

Thank you Miss Maw, CasterMaster and Arcana3 for the sweet sigs. I'd definitely recommend you to anyone looking for a nice sig.
