But it doesn't really make a noticeable difference and Saint's probably just used to normal cast. Well, the advantage that not smartcasting smite has is that you can see the exact range if you are trying to steal something. Not to mention it really doesnt matter if it is faster or not- you likely already have the button pressed long before the time comes to smite. I find the range to be very helpful. Jungle is my most played role but being at the VERY max range can be a huge benefit. Plus for important spells like that the control of a selected click is very beneficial. Could you imagine how pissed you would be if you accidentally smited a yorick ghoul instead of baron or dragon? | ||

It's hyperbole. There's such a thing as a wrong opinion, though - it's when an opinion doesn't line up with any form of well-reasoned belief (The sky isn't blue, Geocentrism, Flat Earth Theory). I don't think Shikyo is quite that bad, but some of this shit seriously defies any sort of logic-based thinking. | ||

Smartcasting is more of a preference than anything. Saying you're bad just because you don't do it just makes you a moron. Think of it as hotkeys in SC. Some like their army on 3, some like it on 1. Some people like smartcasting certain abilities, some don't. | ||

That's why you bind normal cast to shift  I like smart cast because if you have to burst something with all your abilities you can spam them supa fast | ||

Shyv- smartcast e, regular cast ulti. GP- Smarcast q, regular ulti. Graves- smartcast qwr, regular e, for example. My summoners are always regular cast though. | ||

Like the rage against the jarman dude in that thread. We could even name it the Numbers button. nah, I think the initial posts and first few responses are quite humorous to read. it's even more funny when the poster at fault gets warned. *cough* | ||

Never knew what would be there 30 seconds later and what wouldnt. | ||

Like I watched him playing Kassa throwing out the REQ combo, then while it was all on CD and his opponent flashed away he flashed at him and then just turned around and ran off... I'm not sure if most people are aware of this (and yes I'm late due to someone calling the Neophone on Shikyo <3), but exactly the above is the best way to practice stuff like that. To get good at something that's not in your normal comfort zone, you practice it to the extreme for a certain amount of time. If you feel you play too passively, you don't "turn up your agression", you play like the bastard child of Reginald and saint on cocaine. If you feel never time buffs correctly you write a fucking huge sticker on your comp that says "MUST... TIME... CAMPS...". You might miss like every gank opportunity, but you won't care since you focus on knowing when every single small camp spawns without typing it down. If you feel that you farm like a fknewb you play a game where all you do is aim to get every single fucking lasthit in lane while you're there. This might result in you loldieing a few times since you might take harass for free, but as long as you accomplish the original goal it doesn't matter. Do stuff like the above for 3-5 games in a row, then try playing "normal" again. You'll notice that you're way more agressive, that you are running to not-spawned wolves while you judge lanes for ganks (and they magically appear 2s later) and you notice yourself shrugging off harass/harassing better while magically having 10-15% more lasthits. Practice like this and you'll improve WAY quicker than anyone who "just plays and adjusts along the way". Edit: Wow, Neo, changing the topic with a huge picture right after me trying to sound like a guru? NOW I KNOW WHY NUMBERS STARTED DOING WHAT HE DID. =,( | ||

Without giving too much info about either teams, I just wanted to mention to TD that Dominate is actually really good. It's like not like Dignitas is trying to catch up to their former form here. They aren't in as bad as shape as TD has been saying lately just because Jatt retired. | ||

I'm just hiding the champion picks because scarra is pretty hush hush and I think loco is too. Showing Dominate on Maokai isn't all that revealing. Jungle picks are from a small pool. | ||
