Is there a way to change Chang'e's 2 to be a quick cast?

It's annoying as ♥♥♥♥ for the game to find dozens of ways to screw me out of using it. Making it a quick cast would probably fix some of those. Any way to do that specifically for her waltz ability?
I know Paragon allowed you to change the cast modes of your abilities. Doubt smite would be that smart, but I'd still like to know.

actually you can change any gods abilities to either normalcast, instacast or quickcast. just press k while you are in game press the 'use default' button (or whatever it is).

It's been a thing for a while. K to view your skills, drop down under each skill to change it's casting setting. I'd recommend doing it for her 1 and 3 abilities as well, but it's not really necessary on them.

Awesome, thanks guys.

It's better on some abilities.
It also stops you from accidentally casting like you might from quick/instant casting.
Also frees up movement a little more (strafing or forward/backward depending on key setup).

how could you accidentally cast on quick casting? you can cancel any prepared ability when using quick cast by right mouse button (many people doesn't know this though, so it's main reason for them to use normal casting). can't also get how normal casting frees movement when strafing or moving forward/backward, you will need to aim/cancel anyway

well it may also depend on how player is used with the god he is playing, ex. I play he bo with all skills on instant cast, I don't honestly think setting his 1 or 3 on an instant cast is a good idea but when you've got reflexes, you'll automatically do instant casts even when playing with quick

You can cancel it yes, but you might accidentally let go when having to dodge or otherwise move around due to things like ganks.
For dashes/leaps etc you probably want it on normal cast for most of them, so you can hold onto it and still move completely freely, and aim without the possibiliy of accidentally casting it because you let go.

As for how it frees movement, you aren't holding down an ability button so you can keep them on the movement ones. This depends on how you personall position your hands on the keyboard, and what your control setup is. If I wanted to move forwards or backwards whilst using my 2nd or 3rd ability for instance, I'd have to let go of 2 or 3 THEN press the movement key. If I get ganked, or need to do this quickly, it can cause issues (ability not cancelling, and just casting, not reacting in time to cancel it first, or doing it "too quickly" and cast let go before you cancel etc).


It just works better for some people, and for me, somce abilities feel better in normal casting than they do in quick casting - things like Loki ult, where it's a small targeter, with very large repurcussions if you miss, or Agni ultimate where I might need to strafe whilst aiming.

Exactly, some people do things differently. I also keep He Bo's 1 on instant cast, same for his ultimate, because I know that in any situation I need to use them, I'm not likely to miss (I know how close I need to be, and I likely won't need to cancel anyway).
