![]() ![]() It's all up to personal preference at the end of the day, I found that in general, it made some heroes a lot better and worked really well when used with blink dagger. Cast spells faster, you can in theory get the same speed from regular click cast, but I generally felt it was slightly longer. You do not instantly become a better player, it's a preference not a magic potion that makes you 6k mmr. **STUFF THAT DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN YOU PLAY ON QUICKCAST:** Easier to miscast or cast at random times. Some spells you may have trouble animation cancelling if the cast time is fast, mostly not an issue but it's different for everyone. There is a work around I will explain later on though. Can't see aoe of spells, this may not be a problem if you're just good enough and know the aoe on your spells, however even the best players may miss a spells sometimes. This may or may not be a bad thing for you, but generally I found it a hindrance for most things, but you get used to I guess. Can't double click to cast on self, yes I know I said this before, but its a pro and a con (things like force staff, Empower, Urn, etc). Might be hard to get used to at first (I had really hard time with Magnus Skewer) Easier Shift-Que on spells and items (Useful for SK mostly) You click them while they are our of range and the second that they do blink in, the item or spell will instantly go off. Easier to pre-cast items or spells like hex or silence, for those that don't know what this is, it's clicking a hero out of range that you know will blink or move into range. You can't double click accidentally, spells like Press the Attack, I felt I would always spam click it to try and save an ally only to use it on myself, this gets rid of that completely. At higher level play, it can save you a few crucial milliseconds that could save you or secure you a kill. Less apm to worry about (unless you're EE level asian and don't give a shit) Really good for mobile heroes with blink dagger, or some sort of pseudo blink in general (mostly initiating heroes love this, i.e. Let's you perform actions instantly, especially useful on heroes that have no cast time like Rubick, Invoker, etc. Way faster when doing multiple actions, especially on heroes like Meepo, Tinker, Invoker, etc. This works on all spells and items that have a point click portion, even orb attacks. Basically, instead of clicking the spot or unit that you want to cast a spell or item, you instead hover over it with your mouse and click the item/ skill button and it will instantly cast. It's a fairly simple concept but many have a hard time adjusting. He's about 3k mmr (up from 2.7k) at this moment and hadn't even heard of the mechanic, so I figured there must be others as well, so I decided to write this guide to help others out and maybe get others to switch and up their mmr. To my (sorta?) surprise, he didn't even know what that was! I explained it to him, and long story short, he was able to finally get the poof combo off. That's when I realized that he was playing on Regular cast, so I told him that I didn't click my mouse once and was playing on quick cast. ![]() He asked how I was able to click the mouse 4 times right after clicking poof then blink as well. We went into a private lobby after and I tried to teach him the steps, but to no avail. At first I thought it was maybe just the skill gap and micro skills so I explained to him it was just practice. I know the skill level of the players wasn't the best and to be fair, my Meepo is probably above average at best, but he kept asking how I was able to poof and blink so quickly because Meepo was a hero he had trouble playing. So I was in a game with a friend from one of my classes who's significantly lower mmr (2k+ I was on a smurf) than me and playing Meepo as sort of practice for my micro on the hero. Before I start, I want to explain a little bit about why I decided to write this guide and what it could potentially mean for you, if you aren't interested then skip ahead to the third paragraph where I explain what Quick Cast is. ![]()
