Whichever one you're able to play well, really. It has more to do with your own skill at a particular champion, it doesn't matter that a champ is "easy" (like, say, Riven or Fizz) if you're bad at it.

But generally speaking, being better at killing people, preferably fast, if you outplay them, makes carrying easier. Being able to kill multiple people is also very useful.

I heard smart cast is the way to go? Or is either way fine?

Smart cast is usually faster. Dumb cast is usually more accurate. Determine on a spell by spell basis which is more important. I usually prefer smartcast.

I use smart cast with range indicators for most abilities. Some, however, like Rumble ult, Viktor E, or Alistar WQ combo (to me at least) are basically impossible with smart cast, so you gotta pick and choose.

Since you're leveling your acct up Emulator I would dumbcast to get an idea what the ranges/size of area are. The transition to smartcasting took like a day and you don't look back after that.

I do think that turning on range indicators accomplish the same thing...?

I feel like a lot of people forget that you can have smartcast with those because I always remember hearing people talk about the "inaccuracy" of smartcasting. Am I missing something with this?

Range indicators are really weird, because noone really wants to hold down a key to see how far something goes, and then not be able to cancel casting it easily. All in all playing with smartcast range indicators combines the disadvantages of smartcast with those of dumbcast in my experience (I turned them on once, found that it felt it incredibly clumsy and turned them off again after a few minutes) I think they might also change when the spell fires from keypress to key release, but i am not sure off that.

Smartcasing with range indicators is really useful, holding down the button a bit on some skills is really useful imo for certain skillshots.

This was my experience too. I played every champ a few times (despite Teut's recommendations in GD ) Understood the ranges and went smartcast. Any loss in accuracy I feel is outweighed by responsiveness but maybe I'll give it another shot.

I'm diamond 1 and I use only dumbcast. Smartcast is probably better for some things but I doubt it's the thing that will make you jump divisions. However if you want to be pro you should probably learn it :-)

Somehow managed to use Viktor's Death Ray with smartcast a few days ago when I noticed I forgot to turn the key back to dumbcast. I dunno why now I manage to do it while it felt weird every previous try, but the difference is pretty significant for me in terms of using it while moving. As in, it doesn't cancel itself half the time anymore because I right-click right after I release my left-click. :<

Dumb cast helps with range and stuff, it's probably better on point'n'click stuff and non-linear skillshots like Lux's Lucent Singularity (E) and Gragas' Barrel Roll (Q), as opposed to linear skillshots like Morgana's Dark Binding or Lux's Light Binding (Q) where it only gives you the direction (and the width, though) of the spell but not its max range.

When it comes down to precsion, try combo-ing with Ryze with and without smartcast: it should feel snappier, same with Cassiopeia's Twin Fangs (E).

As for accuracy, depends on your level I guess. If you have trouble aiming, dumbcast or smartcast with indicator can work better, however it's weighting cast accuracy vs reactivity (your opponent is more likely to see it coming and, if their level is decent, try and juke it if you stand still everytime you aim, making them less predictable).

I definitely feel smartcast with indicator is "worse" because the main draw from smartcast is the better responsiveness, and you lose that, but for someone used to dumbcast it can be an upgrade.
I miss a bunch of ground-targeted AoE skillshots in DotA 2 because I put it on smartcast right away and played maybe 10 heroes.

So i was in customs exploring the new masteries for my main man teemo. It appears that autos with toxic shot apply both spell weaving and blade weaving (damage from spell and auto) as I had hoped but I could not see a debuff on the bot for the "expose weakness" mastery. It has the same trigger as blade weaving according to the tool-tip so i tried it again with Ryze Q and still did not see the debuff.

I guess my simple question is, does toxic shot apply "expose weakness"?

It depends on your strengths as a player. Lee Sin is a beast with the free ward ganks but he is extremely challenging mechanically. Otherwise shyvana seems like one of the few junglers that can clear camps fast enough to stay ahead of double targon right now and can carry pretty hard when fed.

not sure if you can really justify not going sweeper as a jungler its just so strong to clear wards when you are on the way to gank. but ofc for lee it would be especially beneficial (other then that the most common choice is sightstone anyway)

I dont think Warwick is really good. Nocturne should be fairly strong though. and ofc shyvana is extremly dominant pre and post patch one of the best junglers

The CD on level 1 blue and red trinkets just seem silly high to me at this point. 180 sec CD ward removal when the entire enemy team has 120 sec CD explorer wards is just no good. At level nine the red trinket's CD is literally halved to 90 seconds though which makes it very strong. I think you are better off pinking and ambushing them when they go to clear it if your really need a way to hit a lane early.
