Edit: Viable as in, decent to use. I'm sure someone somewhere will use it, I just don't think it'll give anyone that split second advantage it does in league | ||

I'm sure someone somewhere will use it, I just don't think it'll give anyone that split second advantage it does in league I see it more as another means of focusing attention if that makes sense. As long as they also give it a different sound I like to be able to both ping "hey look" and have a second ping for "hey watch out". When it comes to pubs I like to be able to differentiate between "gogogo" and "back out" without having to type it out. e.g. someone comes to gank your lane but you know about a ward the guy doesn't know about or that your opponent is playing super careful. Typing "go b won't work" or *ping* "ward" is a bigger hassle than a "go back"-ping. | ||

I'm fairly sure its not the same as smart casting in sc2 is considering we're only controlling one unit? When you hit an hotkey, the spell immediately proccs at the location where the cursor was hovering. There is no "aiming phase"anymore. You aim, press the key, spell goes off. | ||

Instead of having to click after pressing a hotkey the action gets performed right where you mouse cursor is at that point in time. *hotkey* -> *move mouse over target* -> *leftclick* turns into *move mouse over target* -> *hotkey* | ||

I don't like that  I like having bigger skill ceiling, and preparing spells ahead of time, or clicking them faster, is part of that skill imo. Lowering APM for a game that already has very low apm requirements due to the nature of it (you're only controlling one hero after all (sometimes more in special cases)) | ||

Some people swore on it, personally I really disliked it. In the end it gives people a bigger choice when it comes to customizing controls which I consider a good thing. | ||

Yep. I don't really care what Valve implements, as long as its fair, doesn't ruin the game and i can keep the current option(s). | ||

Should be noted though that while there was discussion before, thats uncommon now. Good luck finding even a single pro who isn't using smartcasting in LoL, it's just far superior on almost every hero, there's quite few abilities where smartcasting isn't prefered. | ||

I can think of many more spells that I would not want to have smartcasting on for then ones I would like it for in Dota. As someone said earlier it might be nice for blink and heroes without cast animations but besides that I dont see much appeal. | ||
