Should have been left in Bot Games. It has nothing to do with the game evolving, and everything to do with being an equalizer for players who can't be bothered to learn timing, reflex, and precision. It gives them a computer assist that's faster than humanly possible.

JustaNewb1 votesOh? Do explain.
Gibberwatt2 votesWhile it does allow you to cast your spells much faster, it also leaves you open to misclicking - accidentally tap r when you go to flash, and you just wasted your ult.
Also, there is no 'computer assist' in there. Quick cast just takes off a few clicks. instead of having to press q, angle your mouse, and left click (all while walking and dodging), you simply press q, and your computer yeet's the ability at wherever your mouse happens to be at that moment.
JustaNewb1 votesThe first bit is the bit I take issue with, primarily because it gives skills the same functionality that makes certain champions special - in that they can merely target spells in the direction of the mouse pointer, with no click (Zyra, Karthus, etc). These are specialties of these champions, and their abilities are either passive in nature, not directly aggressive, or deal comparably low damage because of the speed at which these skills are able to be flung out.
That changes the instant that you begin to fling high damaging spells, back to back, in flawlessly straight lines. It requires the same skillset as a FPS, and nothing more.

JustaNewb1 votesNever once implied anything of the sort. Re-read.

JustaNewb1 votesYeah, I didn't figure you actually had anything of merit to say.
C9 Squeeky 1 votesAnd you do? Don't make me laugh.
