Charging an enemy, clicking Overpower’s keybind, then moving my mouse to and clicking on the hero didn’t take long, per se, but it took long enough that the hero would get out of melee range before I could hit them with Overpower. In fact, my first foray into quick casting began when I was consistently missing out on the one-two punch of Diablo’s Shadow Charge and Overpower (or vice versa). Outside of those, another great time to keep quick casting on is when you rely on combo-ing your abilities. When you’re in the thick of a team fight and are the one in charge of keeping your team alive, a split second can make all the difference between life and death for you and your teammates. In general, I tend to use any healing or support-like abilities with quick casting turned on. all typically work very well with quick casting enabled. However, abilities that have specific targets - Malfurion’s Regrowth, Stitches’ Devour, Zarya’s Shield Ally etc. In one match, I forgot I’d set Arthas’ Summon Sindragosa to “On,” and hit my R key… resulting in Sindragosa flying off in the direction of my mouse, missing multiple buildings on the way, and activating the ability’s cooldown. For example, skill-shot type abilities with a long cooldown or simply ones that are important to not miss with aren’t always the best choice. Setting quick cast to “On” can be risky if you don’t know which types of abilities work best for it. That said, I’m an advocate of quick casting, and that’s also what we’re here to talk about - so let’s focus on that! There aren’t a whole lot of situations when I find myself using the default options, but global abilities like Nova’s Precision Strike or Abathur’s Toxic Nests aren’t always time-sensitive abilities and can potentially be used without quick casting. If you’re not sure when to use which type of quick-cast settings, don’t worry - we’re just getting started. If you want to cancel without casting, simply right click before releasing.
