Switch To Smite Automatically When Jungling

Is everyone tired of the rare-but-still-too-common game where either you or another team member forget to take summoner 11 when switching to jungle from another role?

Assuming a game of reasonably equal skill otherwise, that is nearly 100% a game loss in Champion Select.

Players should get to associate a summoner-spell combo with each role, and it should swap to that combination as soon as you're slotted in a draft.

This would be bad, as it wouldn't allow for trading positions. If the entire team takes it as their responsibility to make sure he has smite, then the chances of this happening would go down significantly.

I think a way that Riot could help, is by making it so we can swap summoner spells before we leave base the first time. 99% of player have figured out they have messed up before they leave.

Or let people buy jungler items without taking smite. Yea it would be weaker but atleast they'd be able to kill jg camps

Issue is, sometimes I want to take ignite instead of flash.

this has happened to me as well where i forgot to take smite.. THREE TIMES... except that's 3 times over 5 years.

i think a much better solution would be for riot to let us see our allies summoners BEFORE they lock in, so we could actually make sure they have smite up.

you would think the jungler (who is usually the most experienced guy on your team, also probably the one with the most map awareness) would pay enough attention to take it though.
