Help me with hotkeys for morgana

Hi everyone, before you go on about how I havnt done any research and I want handouts, I have already figured out 1/2 of this problem... Im not exactly sure if the game has the capability to do it, but hopefully someone will know.

this is the issue:

Playing support morgana, or something like zilean, i need to quickly cast blackshield or the zilean ult on myself, or my partner. blitzcrank throws a grab, i dont have time to find him with the cursor, or get it over his portrait, especially if im also trying to hit their adc..

now on to the part ive figured out

self + quick cast, i set skill 3 to a. this means on morgana, if something fires at me, i just hit a, and viola im shielded.

there is a similar option for shielding your duo partner, and ive sort of figured it out. I recently switched to quick cast everything, and it doesnt seem to work with that, however... if you set a normal cast skill 3 to say "s" key, OR if you use the range indicator thing enabled, and hold down the e key, then hit the "select ally x" option that are normally f1-f5, it can work that way. It only seems to target the person if you have the range thing up, like its ready to cast.

so i set select my adc to tab cause its quicker than the fkeys, then if i want to shield my adc, i hit "s" -> "tab"

id like this on 1 key tho..

id also like to direct your attention to this video that proves this kind of thing is possible, except hes ether EXTREMELY quick, or he has a better way of doing it, because i didnt even see any range indicator or normal cast up at all. fast foward the video to 1:20, the part im concerned with is where he sheilds the adc, it happens between 1:20, and 1:35

please help :p, its not a huge issue, but im trying to expand my support pool a little bit so i can start ranked, and this would help me alot Oo.

i just posted this in gameplay and balance as well because i cant really figure out these new boards... sorry if one of the is in the wrong place.

/e

i just made this video to demonstrate my issue.. sorry for how crappy it is, im not a computer guru or anything so, its kinda sucky. However even towards the end, you see that even when i do it as quickly as i can, it still shows a range indictor, which didnt happen in the 1:20-1:35 section of the xspecial video. if it was some sort of illegal macro, it wud still show up, this leads me to beleieve there is an quickcast + ally option i just dont know about, the way he casts its on his adc looks exactly the way i cast on myself when i use the quick + selfcast option.

please let me know if anyone finds an answer...

If you want to cast it on yourself. You use Alt+QWER. If you want to cast it on an ally, there is no such feature as far as i'm concerned, the best you can do is click the spell and then click on their icon on the left side of the screen.

I think he's either just pressing the f3 followed by e keys (or whatever their re-bound to) quickly, or he might have an illegal macro set up.

Hes a pro player, i doubt he uses anything that isnt explicitly allowed by riot, and the problem is, hitting f3, then hitting e, doesnt work for me :( it only works if you have the "target" icon, which shows up only if you have range indicator on with quickcast, or if you it setup to normally cast, and THEN hit f3.

if this is just impossible thats fine, but id like to know definitevly and it seems like most people know nothing about this :( Ive googled everything imaginable, and searched thru dozens of youtube videos, but nothing :(

Smartcast isn't fast enough for you? I've never had a problem black shielding people, and yeah I just set it on smart cast. Range indicator turned off (not sure if that would make a difference)

I hate this board thing i cant figure out where my posts are going..

> I've started searching too and i can't find anything. Maybe we'll have to track down xpecial and ask him face to face

can u do that Oo

no it isnt :( im in the brush harassing their adc.. tossing out q's and whatever, out of nowhere bltiz throws a grab for the adc, need to sheild him right at that moment, i dont have time to move the cursor to him and then hit e. Otherwise the spell would basically be useless, as id have to have my cursor over my ally all game. Watch the xspecial video, hes doing it a whole different way, even when i mash buttons as fast as i can, i still always see the range indicator thing if its turned on, and if its normal cast, i always see it as well.

there was nothing like that on his screen, its like he has self cast, but for allies as well.
