New stat idea

Casting time for both AD AND AP. Since we have attack speed for basic attack focused champions why not have casting time reduction for those that use their abilities.

Most cast times are, like, .25s if anything at all. I don't think most champs would benefit from this kinda stat. Even a 50% drop in casting time wouldn't be appreciably felt in most cases, right?

Perhaps I'm forgetting about some glaring examples, since I don't often play mages. Do you have any specific cases where this would make a difference?

Fiddlesticks ult , Nunu ult , Chogath Q Gragas , Q charge faster , Gangplank R Braum Q and R Darius Q Janna Q charge up faster Jinx R Rocket arrives faster Ryze R charges faster Xerath faster R spam and so on

Some of those, sure (but I'm not sure if I want to live in a world where Nunu can insta-ult or something).

Others are just animations... Darius instant Q? Seems unhealthy.

I dunno, this seems like an extremely thin line to tread. On one side, the stat is worthless fluff. On the other side, the stat is oppressive and unhealthy.

The reason why some spells have cast times is to give them counter play. If we allowed a large enough reduction in cast times, that could lead to spells that were unfair to play against. It isn't much fun to play against an Annie with her instant cast Tibbers, is it? Imagine that on every mage.

If they have to sacrafice other stat for It I dont see why not. Annie ult is already instant so i dont see your point
