Normal Cast, Quick Cast, Smart Cast

Proposing a 3rd Cast Hotkey Option.

Currently There is Normal Cast, and Quick Cast, I'm suggesting Smart Cast.

Normal Cast: When a Hotkey is pressed, you will see a targeting indicator and will need to click again to target and cast the ability.

Quick Cast: When a hotkey is pressed, the ability will instantly cast at or towards the current mouse location.

Smart Cast: When a Hotkey is pressed and while held down, you will see a targeting indicator* and upon button release*, the ability will instantly cast at or towards the current mouse location.

I'm aware of the quick cast option Show Range Indicator and that's great. It sets all quick casts of button release, but if we could have an option of button release or button press ability activation it would be nice.

Please Riot

Thanks,

The Perky Cheeks

This already exists. Turn on smartcast/quick cast and go into your options, find "Show range indicators" or something along those lines. It's exactly what you described.

Show range indicators off = ability casts as soon as you press down the key. Show range indicators on = ability casts as soon as you release the key.

I'm in a custom right now with the show range indicators and it's not making a difference. Quick cast is still quick and not set for button release. If this is already in the game, any help on how to turn normal cast into button release would be great. mouse clicking to use a skill is so strange for me.

I found it at the very bottom of hotkeys, the button release. That puts me back at square 1. the quick cast isn't "quick", it's on button release again. I need some on button release and some really as quick cast.

Thanks for replying though, searching for that helps answer my question, I'm going to update my original post.

Wait I'm having trouble understanding what you want. You want to press Q, see the range indicator, then release Q to use the skill, all without clicking amirite?

If so then displaying range indicators on quick cast should work. I just tested it and its working for me.

yeah I have that setting at the moment. But some skills really cannot be given the button release delay. Soraka's heal or fiddle's fear is an example. In skirmishes or teamfights where enemies suddenly appear I'd rather have certain skills on button press without a need of the range indicator.
