In the end I think it is not important if you use smart cast but you need to have intuitive feeling for the range of your spells. If you have to check first and evaluate if this will hit... it is usually too late and you missed your chance. So overly relying on seeing the cast range can be a problem imo.

Not entirely true, the range on an ability doenst change, and its allways 'cast' in a straight line. However, its a little mindthing where I use Q-click instantly, so I still see the graphic and know it will hit. I dont know, think its more a mindthing then anything else.

I once changed everything to smartcast and then I jungle'd Yi, realized he stops moving when I smartcast Q a target out of range and changed everything back to normal.

The end of my smartcast journey. Shift op. <3

i just smartcast everything. if you change it all to smartcast right now (RIGHT NOW) and never look back it takes like 2-3 games to get used to it and then you never have to think about it again. seeing the range of stuff is often very misleading because it makes you think you can hit someone with the very edge of a spell but you really cant.

I smartcast everything always. I'm not sure if it's made me a better or worse player but for things that don't need to be 100% exact (veigar stun) it's cake.

I changed everything too smart cast a couple weeks ago. I absolutely love it . Sometimes I'll mess up skills like Q on graves, but its k I ate an orange.

Best choice is waiting for some tourney that's gonna be commentated by a pro who doesn't participate in it. Though sometimes tourney organisers forbid people from restreaming their tourneys

I didn't mean that the range changes. Just that you need to make sure to use as little time as possible to evaluate the range of any ability. Ideally that means that you just know whether or not you can hit something without having to rely on any animation.
Whether you then just press the button or press the button and click at the same time doesn't matter and is more a matter of preference. I think smartcasting forces you to train that and I think people benefit from that.

got everything on smartcast, every item and summoner spell included. I think this is the only viable setup.

I'd be very glad to become a LoL shoutcaster personnaly, but it's very hard to gain access to games to spectate, and there are no replays. This is the biggest downside of this game :'(

No replays+people being picky about which games can get spec'd are the main problem there. I'd be in for it as well, but commentating when someone else moves the camera around is total crap.

I have everything on smartcast except for summoners and items. There are some exceptions (Viktor laser), but for the most part, I've become more accurate with my spells and faster with them because of it.

as smartcast is on topic now:
i always wanted to smartcast everything with QWER but some spells i wanted to cast normal. so every game i had to rebind my keys depending on which champ i was playing. i see alot of streamers doing this. i was always bothered that you can't bind normal cast to Shift-QWER ingame.

i somewhere found an instruction how to do it:
+ Show Spoiler +
go to C:\Program Files\LoL\League of Legends\RADS\solutions\lol_game_client_sln\releases\0.0.0.105\deploy\DATA\CFG or where you installed your lol and open the file "input.ini" and overwrite the files:
evtCastSpell1=[Shift][q]
evtCastSpell2=[Shift][w]
evtCastSpell3=[Shift][e]
evtCastSpell4=[Shift][r]
evtSmartCastSpell1=[q]
evtSmartCastSpell2=[w]
evtSmartCastSpell3=[e]
evtSmartCastSpell4=[r]

this way you can normal cast with shift. normally through the Ingame options you cannot rebind the keys like this


i know this is somehow described in the Tech Support thread, but i didn't find it at first glance and it has too much information. Thought i'd write it down so someone with the same problem can profit.

I don't smartcast targetable spells that affect allies or self like Kayle's shield or heal, or morgana's shield. It's too easy to miss. Sometimes I forget to change my key bindings in game though TT

Oh and viktor's E. Fuck viktor's E and smartcast TTTT

I thought veigar's stun had to be exact if you wanted to hit your enemy in lane. Don't smartcast veigar's stun.

It's absolutely possible to hit a Veigar stun with smartcast spot on. It's just pretty damn hard to get used to it.

Just like you can get used to the travel times of Ashe/Ezreal ult to hit targets 3000+ range away.
Actually I guess that you HAVE to learn how to hit Veigar stun without being able to check the range helper if you want to be able to Flash-Stun-Burst. If you have enough time to look at the marker, reposition it and then cast, the enemy has enough time to Flash away.
If you have a good reason to disagree with the above, please tell me. Thank you.
