Kassadin's E displays targeting cone even when uncharged [GAMEPLAY]

When Kassadin's E is uncharged, selecting it will still show the targeting cone. As far as I know, every other ability that puts up a range indicator doesn't do so when it's on cool down.

This makes using it really confusing, since it can be off cool down but not charged. It might just be me, but I wasted a few seconds during several critical team fights trying to cast if over and over again while it was uncharged.

Reproduction: Play as Kassadin, level up Force Pulse, press E to ready it. The targeting cone pops up, even though you can't cast it right now.

Kassadin is the only champ with an ability like this - one that requires charges as well as a cool down, and is a targeted ability. IMO the targeting cone shouldn't show up when the ability is uncharged,

Yes, I agree. Just played my first kass rework game yesterday. Extremely clunky. This is the only ability in the game that allows you to prep a cast (with smart cast off), and click to cast it, and nothing happens. ANY OTHER ability in the game where you click the ability without meeting the cast requirements, CD/Resource does not allow you to prep the cast/aim as if it will cast. Pretty unplayable without smartcast on E, which is okay I guess. Maybe the kass rework guy only plays with smartcast on.

This is not a bug. You can gain charges while holding the range indicator, and in teamfights this happens much faster than the cooldown and mana gates of more typical spells.

Kass E is unique in the game, therefore the way it is cast is unique.

This is definitely a bug. You can gain charges of mana while holding the range indicator, and with blue buff this happens much faster than charges! Your logic is they should be able to prep the cast because they could potentially cast very soon, which is the case for all mana abilities when you are 1 mana away from having the mana to cast. No other abilities work this way.

^ That issue you're describing about not being able to see range indicators while out of mana sounds like a bug to me. I will file a bug report.
