10.1.1.4 Exploiting. Exploiting is defined as intentionally using any ingame bug to seek an advantage. Exploiting includes, but is not limited to, acts such as: glitches in buying items, glitches in neutral minion interactions, glitches in Champion ability performance, or any other game function that, in the sole determination of LCS officials, is not functioning as intended.

You're own rules state that playing smite ezreal mid with runeglaive is cheating. So either you punish the teams that played it (which would be a horrible idea), or you just ban it like Shen when he was bugged. There's precedent here, and it's really lame to watch you let teams get away with cheating. You can't ignore your own rule set...

Smite Ezreal Mid is working as intended, without exploiting bugs of any sort.

The precidence for Shen being banned was his ult would occasionally not work at all, which is hardly comparable, let alone precidence.

Runeglaive interaction is a bug, they won't remove the item, so they should ban the champion or punish people for playing him with smite.

This makes so much sense that it won't happen.

Uhm, what is the bug? How is playing mid lane Ez with smite cheating?

Runeglaive making the Q apply spell effects is a bug

So what exactly is happening different. I'm pretty sure it's working as intended.

Luden's and Rylai's are procing when they shouldn't

they should? Its giving AP spell damage to on hit abilties, Ludens + rylais + liandries Apply on ANY AP dmg, sooo? why shouldn't they proc. The only way I'd think it was a "bug" is if Lichbane/Iceborn didnt do the same? but they do dont they? its just good now because with runeglaive you can take purple smite for extra wave clear on top of runeglaive + luden AOE procs.

Also it is cheaper than lich bane by almost 1000 gold so you hit a powerspike much earlier.

They literally have Runeglaive no longer procing Luden's on the PBE as a bugfix right now. Luden's is not meant to proc on Spellblade.

It is a bug. AP Ez is strong because the Runeglaive proc is interacting with items like Luden's and procing off it, which is a bug that they are fixing in the next patch.
