I do believe a very drastic misinterpretation is happening..

Quick casting is NOT, using your keyboard to cast the spells instead of clicking them. There is never a reason to ever click your spells to cast them so that can be discounted at all times.

Normal casting is what is enabled by default. When you press Q a targeting indicator appears, you then aim the skill and left click to shoot it in that direction.

Quick casting (previously called smartcasting) is another option. With quick casting, you press Q and the skill will immediately fire in the direction you are pointing your mouse. Using Quick casting in this way is considerably faster than normally casting it, letting you fire off extremely rapid spell combos. With the drawback that it there is no targeting indicator so you really have to learn the range and behavior of the skill in order to use it.

There is a THIRD option however which is the middle ground between them. You can activate "Quick Casting with range indicators" in the options which replaces your normal Quick Casting setup with a new one. Now when you HOLD DOWN your Q key, a range indicator appears, you use your mouse to aim, then release Q to fire it. This gives the best of both worlds, firstly it allows you to manually aim a tricky skillshot, and secondly it is twice as fast as normally casting the skill. There is almost never a reason to use any other option, Normally casting and Quick casting both have their drawbacks which Quick casting with Range indicators does not have, nor does quick casting with range indicators have any drawbacks of its own.
