Warning if you do not have Smite - Jungle.

This is a suggestion:

During queue - Warn the person in jungle lane if they forget to grab smite after some delay ( maybe 10 - 15 seconds after picking champion?)

We have all done it once - forget smite. It didn't used to be so bad but now you cannot buy a jungle item without it!

PLEASE RIOT consider adding a warning of some sort. It is similar to front-end (javascript) web form validation - it isn't necessary but it is very helpful to end users. As would be a warning system. Perhaps even ward the entire team so they can flame the person who forgot.

Example story: Today I forgot smite - then couldn't buy a freaking jungle item which set me back even further. It is like getting double punished for forgetting to grab smite. It was even more painful because I was in promos to rank up into a new division. We lost pretty badly because of this. I didn't get lvl 2 despite killing red buff. Tried to krugs then had to back. Then went straight to blue after backing. Their jungle at this time ganked..while i was still lvl 1.

Thanks!

that isn't an issue with the game and don't blame riot for your mistake...

instead of being tabbed out during champ select , idk try paying attention

you are at fault no one else...

There was a day and time where junglers also actually didn't NEED to have smite in order to jungle, and people forgot smite all the time then too, they just didn't NEED it as much as they do now. This would not create ANY problem with the game and would have NO negative side effects. It'd be about as annoying as those little tips that appear on the legacy client telling you bits of info in the old champ select. In other words, so annoying I never even clicked "don't show this popup again".

As for the negative things you've said, just a second...

dude how hard is it to change masteries the moment you enter champ select ?

how much do people bitch about how long the ban/champ select phase take?

how many afk checks do they have where the make you lock and and so on?

at which point do you not have to click a button twice for .5 seconds ?

there use to be a time and day in league where players were responsible for learning and knowing what to do to win and be effective and good at the game now every one wants riot to do it for them

its just a reflection of society today... no one wants to be responsible for themselves big brother needs to put warning labels and bubble wrap on everything and every one gets a trophy n no red marks on test

(Again, people forgot smite ALL THE TIME in the earlier days STILL, thing is, it didn't matter as much. It wasn't tied to an item, and it didn't have buffs to it. It literally only made you clear somewhat faster and take objectives a bit easier)
