Do you have to hold down the button for xerath's q, vi's q, and zac's e for quickcast

Some time ago I learned the hard way that that's how one of vlads attacks worked in quick cast. I would push it like normal and it would just instantly cast and do minimal damage. Is it the same for those 2 but with decreased range rather than dmg in quick cast. That makes me need to get used to somthing I thought I already got down.

As a Xerath main, I have quickcast disabled on my Q. It's annoying to hold it down for extended periods of time while doing other actions. I find its much simpler / easier to tap once to start the charge, then tap a second time to fire it off.

Yes, those abilities has increased range/effect when casted for a longer period of time, therefore you need to hold the key.

Yes, that's exactly how it works. Key-down starts the charge, key-up releases it.

That "hold the key down" period can be extremely short for those abilities, though.

Honestly, I play with quickcast on all abilities (as you should because the extra click makes a difference, believe me) EXCEPT for charge ones like that. Since I've grown attuned to just tapping once, I turn those specific abilties (Poppy R, Varus Q, Taliyah + Viktor vector casts, Sion Q - these pertain specifically to my pool of champs) off quickcast in the esc menu and just tap once. The ability charges itself and you can just left-click to fire after aiming. Holding down the button for me just interrupts my flow. This is just my way out of it. You can find your own. :D

(Just get in the habit of opening the esc menu and resetting things to quick cast before any big fights in the following games, haha).

Pros usually have Trundle's Pillar not on quickcast, due to much more precise placement needed to sandwich people against walls. But yeah, most abilities should be kn QC, except for charge ones and spefial case ones like Trundle.
