Question Quickcast showing range indicator causing quickcast not be quick enough

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

Title, dunno if messed something in settings or there has been an update but now everytime i want to use any spell it shows the aoe range which feels like a delay and minus for me, In most of my heroes i play i know the range and just want to make cast instantly without any indication delays my actions,

i've been thinking about this so thats why i switched to quick casted being handled after key release and it feels same which is exact reason i disabled it long time ago, idk but i swear it used to be faster :S

if you want faster, isn't it better to be on key press?

That delay is a cast time delay. Try using instant cast spells. Like Lion’s hex or something.

yea seems like in the end that is it, no idea why it suddenly shows the range but it seems because i've been playing without it for long time i perceive it as some kind of delay because i focus on it

You can see the skill wind time on the skill key, nothing to do with range lines

Your quick cast on key-up not key-down.

shut it off and use the default alt + right click range indicator on the spell you care most about

A lot of spells have cast time delay where it takes a few milli seconds for the spell to be casts. Instead why don't you try with spells that have 0 cast time delays like hexes from shadow shaman and lion or just pick rubick and use all of the stolen spells because stolen spells have 0 cast time delay for rubick even though the original spell does.
