Why no smite before lvl 10 its just not fair

the problem is not how skilled or unskilled a player is or how quick or slow someone picks up the mechanises of the game its really about the fact that it is unfair.

smite how ever complicated it may be or seem is a role spell and should be able to be taken at any lvl i was just in a match and we had 1 person on our team that was lvl 10+ and did not use smite, were as the other team had 2 ppl lvl 10 + and 1 of them did take smite and he knew how to jg.

so add on to the fact that ppl are still learning and all that and there is a lot to take in. ( the match making should not be putting or allowing ppl over lvl 10 into matchs with under lvl 10 at least not for norm's but as alot of ppl on this topic say and i agree duo top is a bad habit there should be position tutoirials and game Etiquette tutorials ie how to call a lane and wat ever else and we see no reason the lane/position meta should be different )

they straight away had the gold advantage and xp advantage and there jg had the whole map cause the only person on the other team that could take smite and jg went teemo top i was udyr top i could have jg but i'm lvl 7 and can't have smite yet and as for the runes and masters well your playing against ppl that have just as much a lack of them as you so that evens out.

i would also like to add that i believe there are ppl out there that could clear jg at lvl 3 ( why don't you try make a custom game use no runes and no masters and have a go i bet you may be surprised)

Jungle roles are more complex that one would think. Sure, you don't have to deal with the laning struggles like last hitting or trading with the enemy, but you have to think when to smite what (Because of the smite buffs), who to gank, IF you can gank and map awareness of the enemy jungler because if you find him in one place, you can either counter jungle him or gank another place to punish his intentions.

It's not as easy as laning phase because all your worries is farming, pushing, freezing and trading with your oponent.

So smite at level 10 means that at that time, you should had the laning phase practice on lockdown (Doubt it with the level requirements cut in half).

I'd question whether you have enough masteries and runes to jungle before lvl 10, much less at 10.

Information overload. It is better to deal with FEWER concepts in the early levels, and have new ideas trickle in over time as you begin to grasp the hold ones. Jungle is the most complex role of all with the weirdest itemization and customization, and is best left for later. Personally, I would push it back farther as most level 10s don't really grasp the point of a jungler.

yeah but every position is complex what i'm saying is that if i can't use smite i shouldn't have to play against some 1 that can i.e if my team can't have a jg then their's shouldn't either which would make the competition fair
