Description: When casting mode is set to Instant Cast, Mina's second ability Sanguine Retreat still uses the quick cast setting. This is true even when using hero specific settings, and setting the casting mode for Sanguine Retreat to Instant Cast.

Instant Cast: Casting begins when the key is pressed.
Quick Cast: Casting begins when the key is released.


Steps to Reproduce:
  1. In Settings, Set 'Casting Mode' to 'Instant Cast'
  2. Press and hold down the key bound to Sanguine Retreat
  3. Release the key bound to Sanguine Retreat

Expected: Mina should start casting Sanguine Retreat as soon as the ability key is pressed (step 2) - so on the positive edge.

Actual:
Mina only starts casting Sanguine Retreat when the ability key is released (step 3) - so on the negative edge. Casting does not begin while the ability key is held down.

The steps are reproduced in the attached video file. Also, you can see that while the key assigned to sanguine retreat is held, the ability icon is highlighted meaning the game registers the input. Casting only begins when the key is released. Additionally, the second cast of Sanguine Retreat is entirely lost because the ability key was released after the recast window expired, even though it was pressed within the casting window.
