Smart Cast
Smart Cast setting may be useful in for some champions. It enables faster use of abilities and items during combat. This option is available via controls settings.
If an ability or an item is set in this way, just point the mouse over a target and select the ability, and the champion will perform the action.
As for Smart Casts, assign those abilities that have to be cast fast or those that don't require a lot of precision, e.g. leaps. However, some abilities require more precision - use them in a regular way.
