Casting/Canceling spells with left/right click BUGGED

A spell I'd like you to use as an example while reading my explanation. - Morgana's Q - Dark Binding

I've never had this issue before, I used to do this a lot whenever I changed my mind; whether I wanted to cast my spell or cancel it. Before, I used to hold my spells by holding my left click ... if I decided NOT to let go (cast) of my spell, I'd just right click my mouse while still holding left, and then the spell would be canceled.

Now it seems different, whenever I decided to NOT let go (right click) of my "on hold" spell, the spell wouldn't be cancelled, but instead! it will let go of it self (it's like I casted the spell with left click WHICH I didn't and never planned to cast it)

Clarification [just in case you guys are getting confused with the clicks I'm talking about] Left Click - to cast a spell Right Click - to move from place to another On Hold Left Click - about to cast a spell but you're holding it for right timing Right Click while Left click is on hold - to NOT let go of the spell (cancel it) <--- this is the problem, this no longer functions, now it just lets go of the spell

Reading this seems like it doesn't make sense, but hey! I tried my best to explain my issue.

having the same problem except the other way around. i use my QWER hotkeys to "pre-cast" and click to cast. the "pre-cast" would either cancel out or not activate at all.

looked like i threw my game the way i was playing.

I don't know if it's a bug or if it was intended, but they should change it back. It makes the game unplayable. I don't know if it was put in to help players adjust but it has a serious effect on veterans. I don't quick cast. I have high APM and it hinders my control and last second decisions.

I'm having the same experience as VinnyEffinB. Often times the precast indicator will show up for a second and then cancel itself. Sometimes it doesn't show up at all. I would say that it happens around 30% of the time. Pretty game breaking for me. I realize i can hold shift to smart cast but i like to see the indicator for some instances.

I have the same problem on thresh! Its really difficult for me to land my death sentence now because i cant cancel it when I need to! Im sure other skillshot champions are also seriously hindered, Ezreal for example. Riot please !

They started a thread on this a few days ago and Riot commented on it at one point. Not sure if it is getting anywhere or not. http://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/bug-report/ztdTJiYj-gameplay-normal-cast-abilities-cancel-improperly?comment=000b

Yep same problem here. As well as the first embarrassing moment was with blitz... :(

Can we at least get a Rioter to recognize this problem? The last time they said they couldn't reproduce this on live. I'm hoping that they don't ignore this.

My first game on patch 5.7 was a blitzcrank game. I swear my teammates thought i was drunk throwing hooks every direction because i couldn't cancel them. Really threw me off.
