Option for cast at max range and walk in range

Some champs when told to cast a spell outside of max range will just toss the spell at max range while others will walk into range then cast the spell. For me I smart cast (or quick cast?) all my spells because it flows better and is easier to combo. However some champs when they have to walk in range slows the combo, compromises position and just make the champ feel sluggish. An example would be ori who will walk in to range if u cast her q outside of max range when all you really wanted was to move the ball. Or gragas where he will do the same with his q when all you want is the barrel to be out whether it be for a quick slow,zoning, or whatever.

What are your thoughts?

I agree, but in terms of someone like Veigar, it's better to walk into range so you don't miss es all the time.

Learn the range if you want to smart cast and how to cancel your forward motion quickly if it's not going. That's what I did with Syndra. It might feel janky early on but you'll get used to it.

I learned Annie in 2013. Her ult used to cast at max range even if your cursor was outside of her range. At some point, Riot changed this. They did the same change with Malphite's ult. Current Malphite's ultimate will not cast if your cursor is even slightly out of his range. He will walk forward until he is in range to ult the cursor's location.

Currently, Jarvan's E will cast at max range even if your cursor is out of range. This is my preference, so why can't all abilities have a setting to behave like Jarvan's E if that's my preference?

I understand some of you feel I should just relearn how to play these champions, but it's really hard to change fundamentally how I interact with my cursor on such a micro level. And there is no advantage to the player by having either setting active.

Please Riot, make a setting so abilities will be cast if cursor is out of range: Syndra Q and W Malphite R Brand E Annie R
