[GAMEPLAY] Normal Cast Abilities Cancel Improperly

Raxxes·4/8/2015, 6:47:28 PM·20 votes·29,907 views

Prior to patch 5.7, when using normal cast and pressing the button corresponding to an ability - creating the blue indicator for the (skill shot/point - click) ability - one could hold left mouse button - and the ability would not go off unless left click was released, in addition, one could hold left mouse and then pres right mouse to completely cancel the ability and the blue ability indicators disappeared and the ability did not cast. Post patch 5.7, when one holds the left mouse button and then presses the right mouse button the ability goes off instead of canceling. I have reproduced this consistently and have restored my key bindings and options to default and the problem persists.

I am having the same problem and it is game-breaking for me. Glad it's not just me.

Guys we are having trouble reproducing this on live. Could you provide a more specific test case, like certain abilities or champions affected?

This thread needs much more attention. I don't think riot realizes how much this affects play styles of many players. Personally, I wouldn't want to jeopardize my teams ability to win the game due to this bug changing my gameplay with something I'm not entirely use to or comfortable with.

This change doesn't seem like it was on purpose, so I'm not really going to blame Riot. Respectfully, I think many summoners including myself would like this issue to be resolved as soon as possible.

Singed is suffering from a related problem. This isn't using smartcast or quickcast. Whenever i go to cast fling or megaadhesive around enemy champions it seems to happen more often, I press e or w and the targeting indicator instant cancels. Sometimes this occurs 2 or 3 times in a row, and yep its a game breaker.

I've noticed that it will fire off the skill 50/50 if I right-click to cancel casting the skill. It's happening in every game, too.

YES! Same problem! With normal or quickcast I'm getting the same problem. Please fix

Is it normal that right click cancels out your ability circle?

Steps

  1. Press Q (point and click ability)
  2. Circle appears surrounding your champion, indicating the range of the ability.
  3. Press right click (I'm not holding left click or anything)
  4. Circle disappears immediately, so I have to press Q again (and in tough situations, I just left-click thinking the circle is still there so needless to say no ability comes out).

I don't think it was like this pre-patch. I would have noticed the overall clunky-ness.

I'll mention again that I'm not using Line Missile Display, if perhaps that has something to do with it because from what I hear, right clicking has always made the ability circles disappear... and I refuse to believe that's true.

In any case, I hope whatever was "fixed" gets rollbacked to its previous state. This is gamebreaking in several ways and I don't think it's worth my time adapting.

Glad I was able to find this thread. I noticed this same thing happening to me yesterday when I was playing but I was having trouble explaining it to my buddy I was playing with since he uses the quick casting. Makes me feel a little better that I am not the only one having this issue. Hopefully It will be fixed soon.

I just witnessed this same problem people have been talking about. I played Anivia and I'm using normal cast. Most of my stuns and walls went horribly wrong due to this problem. Right clicking (when the skill was active) didnt cancel the skill properly. The indicator went away but the skill went on with a slight delay and by that time my cursor was in a totally different place (I tried to cancel the skill in the first place anyways) and the skill went awkwardly wrong.

I main Anivia and I have literally played thousands of games as her. And belive me, I could see and fell the dirrefence when the skills went so wrong.

The window where the spell still casts after right-clicking is very small, but it's still there. I made a video to maybe help understand,but it's a response time between right-click and releasing Q. The range indicator disappears on mouse click, but releasing Q too quickly after still casts the spell. [VIDEO] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGC02VN_nPo

I had this suddenly start occurring to me. I played two games normally with smart casting abilities. In my first promo match as Cho'Gath, I was consistently unable to cancel abilities (press Q or W but do not release) using right click.

I'd see if it's consistent, but I don't feel like playing again after this unresponsiveness.

First they broke Windows 10 support and I couldn't play for 3 weeks, GOD FORBID THEY 'HOTFIX' THEIR BROKEN CRAP! Now this. I'm supposed to wait ANOTHER 2 WEEKS for them to shove the patch in with probably another buggy patch. What's the point of PBE? I'm so sick of this poor game management. Thanks for caring about your players.

Bump for attention. This is literally a game breaking bug and I refuse to play out my series until it's fixed.

I just played my first game on this patch and was having a bunch of issues with casting spells on Morgana. I usually hit Q, aim, and decide whether or not to cancel or cast, and it was doing one or the other randomly with me pressing any further buttons. Sometimes it would cast it a .5+ seconds after i had already cancelled it, in the original position of my mouse instead of the current position. It applied to wards and W as well, but most obvious on Q.
