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 thought veigar's stun had to be exact if you wanted to hit your enemy in lane. Don't smartcast veigar's stun.
I've got a few macro keys set to self-cast for those heals and stuff for when I'm playing champions like nidalee

There is no little benefit for top teams to allow shoutcasters to spectate their games as it basically lowers their income (gained through personal streaming). Until a decent replay system is released, the only way I can see shoutcasters getting access to Skrims is by making an agreement with the top teams managers or by accessing lesser known teams hoping to gain some exposure.

Strong shoutcasting = higher exposure = easier to attract sponsors.
I'd bet that if strong shoutcasters would cast scrims the total numbers watching would increase. Thinking about their own personal stream income is pretty damn shortsighted.

It would also prevent people from hearing the communication between the players on certain teams. I don't think that sponsors are attracted by people calling each other retard for 45 minutes -.-

Maybe we could have a couple community commentators for that tournament that someone is running (I forget by whom :3).
I mean, if I end up playing in it, I'll be streaming, but we could get more Amateur Scene exposure with some community shout casters!

CLG EU did a call for it recently (http://euw.leagueoflegends.com/board/showthread.php?t=550611), I contacted them but never got a reply :/
I asked to obs ONE scrim to be able to commentate in real conditions.

sending a reply and/or inviting you to obs a scrim would take 30 seconds out of their day. streaming some lol and masturbating takes up far too much time for them to be able to do that.

Well, at the moment, one can actually say that the lol business model is actually BETTER than the comparable starcraft one. At least in lol its the players who are the ones rewarded with money and fame (especially when it comes to streaming). Not to say that it doenst such that there arent any decent casters, but we dont see the same problem in starcraft where pros play the games and casters make a LOT more money by casting them and posting them to Youtube.

An advantage of smartcasting is that only one command is send to the server instead of two, halving the latency. It´s mechanically superiour unless you actually have to confirm range and/or AOE of the spell like Veigar.

So I picked up Cho (who is very fun by the way), and is it just my computer acting wierd or does his scream's targeting cone come unattached? Like, the middle point won't stay attached to his body, and he'll walk away to shoot it, so when I want to quickly fire one off, you have to make sure your cursor is right up next to his model.
Just strikes me as odd, no other point blank cones work like that as far as I can tell.

i dont see how you define that as better. when the lol scene grows up there wont be time for players to do casting, as a lot of people in the sc world have found out, if you want to take your game seriously you dont have time for that crap. now in the lol scene theres no developed model for a caster making money. do they attach themselves to a team? are they independent? do they pester teams to watch scrims or do they organise it themselves?
eventually lol is gonna need more dedicated casters, but how do they take the plunge into it?

We get a replay system and they cast shit and gain a following.
The hints I have gotten from Riot indicate that the system they are shooting for is going to automatically keep/upload replays to the client so that you can search for people and get their replays. Then they can just cast those and whoever is good will gain a following. Not all that hard.
Its a hell of a lot easier to find a good caster than it is to try to fix whatever the hell happened to the starcraft scene.

Hard as it may be to believe, I've never played Annie. I'm not really a Mage player. But like Graves, Riven, and Ashe all have cone shots that don't pull away from them when you go to click the side of the screen. Just thought it was odd.

Yeah, I have noticed it too. Idk if it is a bug or feature, but usually it doesn't mean too much of a difference to me as I don't cast W when far away.

I always thought the scream was suppose to be that way. Never thought about it. Although casting it away from you is probably the worse/lazy option than walking and then casting it.

Exactly, in what situation would you choose to target it down the lane and then watch him walk there? Dunno, just bugged me a bit after playing Graves and Riven for so long.
