Return Self Cast To What It Was.

Hey Rito,

Just a quick thought here. I've notice that since a few patches ago, with the redesigned smart cast system added, that self casting has changed. It use to be that you could click an ability and as long as you weren't targeting someone you would auto self cast it. This is for things like shields, heals, and buffs etc. But as it is now you can no longer do that, instead to get a self cast you have to use some street fighter level combo to select yourself then cast the ability. I was wondering if you guys and gals were going to change this back, or maybe add an option for people to have smart cast and self cast act like that again.

Also If anyone else feels the same way about this feature let me know in the poll down below.

Hmm... I've never been able to do as you described - click an ability and auto cast it on myself (unless the mouse was on me?). I've only known alt+skill to self-cast, and that hasn't changed in... years. And I do use smartcast. Are we talking about the same thing?

I think he means that the the default target for smartcast was self if no target near the pointer was found...? I don't remember it being that way.

yes this sounds like what i remember. It has been a while (Like maybe 10 patches back at this point idk), I just thought about posting it now.

Yes thats what I mean. The way smart casting/self casting use to be was if i say hit nami's heal but just targeted a bush i would auto target myself. its one of those things i have gotten use to and my game play style is built around it. I just want the option to have that back.
