Sometimes my spells smart cast without having the smart cast activated

I dunno , since the last patch it sometimes happens that my skills either go off like they would have been smart casted, either my spells cancel themselves without me pressing the right mouse button to actually cancel them.

It's so annoying that it can sometimes make you miss important skillshots, like amumu`s q etc.

  • EDIT :

Apparently this happens because on normal cast at least, the spells won't cancel when you press the right click anymore, like it did in the past patches, since the latest patch, the spell only cancels after you release the right click

** If anyone wants to reproduce this, try it in a custom game with champions that use skillshots, like Ziggs in my example. So press q, now the blue range indicator should appear . Now press left mouse button and hold it. Now press right button. The spell would have canceled right when you pressed the right mouse button in the past, but now it will only cancel after you release the right mouse button. And if you release the left mouse button first, the spell would just go off**

You may be having the same problem as me where you previously canceled your abilities using right mouse button, but now when you try to cancel them, they go off instead.

Yeah this is a huge issue for me too. Hope this is fixed ASAP.

Apparently it also happens to thousand of other players so it's not a product of our imagination :

I'm so glad i'm not the only one. It is so frustrating. It takes away so much of the fun.

I play singed and i don't use smartcast but i believe what im experiencing may be related in some way. Alot of times when i press e or w (fling and megaadhesive) it will instantly cancel the targeting indicator and i will have to press it again which is costing precious moments of time and it is game breaking for me, its the differance between winning or losing a teamfight to fling at the right time in the right direction. Often times I am having to press it 2 or even three times for the indicator to stay up. This only just started on this patch. It seems to happen when near enemy champions more often, which just makes it worse of course.

Don't forget to upvote this thread, guys. We want them to be aware of our issue.

I am very used to selecting let's say Ashe's 'volley,' and then deciding against the move, so I right-click to cancel it. Now, volley just goes off in a different direction after I THINK i've cancelled it. This also happens with Ashe ult, which is much MUCH worse when I fire it away towards the wrong side of the map.

Riot, fix this. Will try the enabling/disabling smartcast method mentioned above.

This seriously screwed over my last Leona match, we won but I was firing ults and E's around like nothing. It was a horrible experience.

I found the exact cause of the bug and I'm able to reproduce it 100% all the time. Check it out guys. I also edited my thread in case someone at Riot sees it

Happened to me. Was playing Morgana.

This has happened to me with multiple champs as well. It seems to auto smartcast your abilities. Disabling and re-enabling may fix it temporarily but I'm pretty sure it comes back shortly afterwards. Riot really needs to fix this it's a game breaker
