Quick Cast - Downvote Away

People are complaining about the insane damage being done in under a second. They complain that someone appears out of the the bush at them, and they disappear instantly as they catch every single skill a champion has in 0.2 seconds. They don't, however, ever wonder WHY the enemy was able to pop off everything they had in under half a second.

Quick Cast

Beforetimes

• Originally a training tool designed for bot games. It taught players how to aim their skills, and how to time them when in range.

• It wasn't used in LCS in the first couple of seasons.

• It was generally seen as a crutch by most.

Now?

• Everybody uses it.

• You're able to explode everything you have by tapping a couple of buttons. Most people don't even feel the need to use their mouse for more than walking and vague aiming.

• It allows you to pop out skills at a rate vastly superior to human reaction time.

This is the most unpopular opinion of all unpopular opinions. I argued against this years ago when it was first making the transition to Live games, but no one has ever really cared - damage wasn't cranked up either. Quick Cast does nothing other than allow a player to relax on learning precision, and they can focus entirely on speed.

This is a crutch, and it's unhealthy for the gamestate. Especially with damage turned up. If you can throw out everything you have, before CC has a chance to even land (especially if your ping is lower than their ping by 20ms or more), you end up with what you've got.

Assassins that can delete someone and be gone well before you've any time to react.
