I don't know, real man don't use quickcast.

haha, but seriously, there are a couple of known problems with it and Blizzard has said they are working on improving it.

About my coment of the quickcast thing, it was a (bad) joke, don't read much into it, it's just that I (and a lot of people) got the idea that it takes "skill" away from the game, although in reality it doesn't make much of a diference. But now in the particular case of heroes of the storm, because of the way it works it can lead to strange interactions, for example, if you use an ability outside of the cast range, your hero will move until you are in range to cast it where you clicked, however the range radius doesn't appear with quickcast, so you don't really know the range of your abilities and sometimes you'll want to cast something and your hero will move and it can lead to a lot of mistakes and bad positioning, i've heard this is sightly better with the "use skill when you release the buttom" because then the radius do appears. Also, you can cancel abilities if you press right click fast enough after casting it, on "slow cast" this isn't a problem because you use an ability and then you press the left click, then there is a little pause and then if you want you move, so this trick cannot really be done unless you are purposely trying to do it. However with quickcast you will often press Q and then inmediately right click, so the skill could potentially be canceled. With all of this taken into account, i suggest people to don't use quickcast until blizzard changes this, or if they do want to use it, to at least take this things into consideration and try to avoid these problems.
