^To add to that, smartcast is necessary for some champions with fast combos (like Ryze) becuase the amount it takes to keep clicking on the champion to target them costs precious time. For a large majority of champions, though, it usually comes down to personal preference. Some people value the increased precision and consistancy more than the extra speed you might get from casting the spell. It also depends on the move (in the case of Viktor, smartcasting E might not be the best idea for a new player but smartcasting his Q might make sense).

I personally smartcast everything because I have just gotten used to it. I will agree that his E is a little awkward to smartcast, but it really isn't too bad (especially if you have been smartcasting Rumble's ultimate and are used to vector skillshots).
