This is a must needed change. The game should not begin if someone on your team has not selected smite. One team is at a serious disadvantage no matter what angle you look at it. Then you're forced to wait for FF or disconnect. What are your thoughts?
I think Riot likes to leave room for off meta plays because they think it makes the game better (which it probably does).
A better solution might be to just have a notification for the jungler like 30 seconds before the game starts that brings the screen to the foreground and says "hey, you don't have smite on. Is this really what you want?" Or something
Nah, that would prevent people from doing creative duo lane teams. That shouldn't be taken away because someone occasionally fucks up and didn't take smite
But what if my buddy and i use that TeemoDonger Strat top? no need for jungler when the enemy jungler Delivers buffs to you.
Just make it automatically select Smite when you pick the jungle role. You're massively hosed if you try jungling without jungle items due to the loss of exp anyways.
And make it count as a dodge for whoever selected Smite last.
If nobody has Smite selected, it counts as a dodge for the Jungler.
But what about double top and double mid meta in normal drafts when we get autofilled jungler who doesent want to play it?
How about if you are the JG position, by default, smite will be one of your summoner spells, but then you can still change it. That way if you mess up in one way, at least you're not totally screwed. Or if you and your buddy just want to be idiots and troll you can do that too
