i forgot how many ap tests i took (something like 20?), but i got national ap scholar or w/e for averaging over a 4. i just remember the 4's i got were lang, physics c mechanics and calc bc. honestly, it was mostly because i had good teachers and im a good standardized test taker.
my school capped out transfer credit at 24 (6 classes equivalent). meh.
this is kind of random, but a lot of champs feel a lot clunkier than they used to, like all their spells have longer casting animations or times. its kind of frustrating, i cant use my face to play the game anymore.

Veigar's stun actually isn't too bad once you get a fair idea of where it's going to show up. I don't I think I could go back because placing it manually comparatively just feels too slow for a fast burst combo (Like flashing in and doing the stun combo at 6 if you smell a kill).

Nope, smartcasting might be slightly faster than dumbcasting it, but I will always dumbcast Viktor Laser.
I dumbcast the things that absolutely need to be placed correctly (shields, walls, etc.) Line drag skill shots definitely fall under that (rumble ult), and when you use Vik laser as often as you do, I feel it needs to be exactly where I want it - and I always fuck it up if it's smartcasted.

A good Veigar player smartcasting his stun is... yiiks, so scary. x_x

Maybe I'm just dumb, but I've never really understood how Viktor/Rumble line nukes are supposed to work with smartcast. It feels so horrific, I can't imagine doing it all the time.

The thing I currently hate in LoL the most:
Jarvan can pull himself to his flag while snared.

Bitter Lux player much?
I pick Jarvan mid against Lux pretty routinely, just to be a prick. Usually do very well. Or Gragas. Huehue.

I don't see how it's difficult to place how you need to. All you do is click at the start point, drag, and let go. Only need to drag a tiny bit, too. It also definitely isn't a tiny bit faster, if you use your mouse properly as I said to, it's just as fast as smartcast with range indicators because you can use your mouse easily in the time that you have your button pressed down. Smartcasting here has nothing to do with accuracy because... There's no difference in accuracy, the only difference is 1 key press vs 2. You also don't need to be accurate at all, you just need the direction. I for one have no problems with going towards the right direction, just with the distance, so casting it is practically instant.
If anything, it's more accurate because it takes less time. I definitely cannot run up, Lazer, and instantly run back nearly as fast without smartcast. If you don't smartcast it you're engine limited.
Oh and if you indeed need to be really precise smartcast with range indicators is pretty good even though it's significantly slower than smartcast(line nukes like Viktor E are smartcast with range indicators by default btw)

I use smartcast and bind shift-LETTER to safecast, best of both worlds.

Because it's totally fair that Jarvan has the only gapcloser in the entire game that you can use while CC'd.

A "movement" spell is forbidden while you are rooted, however Jarvan's Q isn't a movement spell per see so you can still cast it (if only to finish off that pesky Ryze that Rune Prison'd you at 5 HP), what Riot would need to do to avoid the situation would be to prevent the pull from happening if you are rooted. I guess they overlooked it when coding, and now they don't want/care to change it.

I switched to smartcasting a while back. Only thing I regularly mess up when smartcasting is using Flay the way I want on Thresh. I have my bindings set up like you, although I honestly think if you're not smartcasting certain abilities like Rumble ult, then it's just a case of not having practiced it enough.
Also, I've never even seen a Karma in my games, but people on here seem to be hinting she's really OP mid lane. Do people just mean that she's viable? Or is she legitimately better than a lot of the current FOTM champions?

Post-remake her damage and utility was pretty incredible with a full CDR build to start. Then they buffed her damage and Mantra cooldowns. For anyone who can play her at all decently, it makes her a monster.
To add some of my own observations, I'm a shitty mid laner but I've been able to dominate with her hardcore. You can do pretty well in 1v1s, but when you start adding massive shields and movement to your team everything goes in your favor FAST.

Karma packs a good amount of synergy with a lot of initiation/counter-initiation/poke/protect comps, and has a stellar laning phase and excellent teamfight as long as you don't expect Veigar-like burst from her.

It's still hilarious how few people know how to play with her though, which results in more losses than necessary.

I haven't played her with the new buffs. How's that Q damage in lane now?
