This is the only reason why I sometimes take the wrong summoners into the game. I change them before the banning phase of champ select, so it's not on my mind if someone dodges. But they still get changed back to what they were for the last game, while runes and masteries stay what you changed them to before the dodger. Can Riot make it so that summoner spells stay changed if someone dodges? Would be pretty helpful :D
Daen13 votesThis issue is especially annoying as a jungler, because you are at a ridiculous disadvantage without Smite. Best of luck with buff control without it, and for many junglers it's horrendously inefficient to jungle without the items that you aren't able to buy without having Smite.
Hullabaloo9073 votesPlus all the jungle is tuned for the XP from the jungle item
Morsigil6 votes+1. I have recently lost 2 ranked games because I play ADC and Jungle and didn't switch my heal for smite. You might say, well, bad on you, and it's true, I should have been more aware. Unfortunately, in both situations I had 10 minute queue times where I bounced in and out of the pre-game screen no less than 5 times and had to switch my heal for smite each time. The last time I simply forgot. Fool me four times shame on me, fool me five times shame on you rito.
TotalJerk2 votesSome junglers outright cannot clear without a jungle item
ArxMessor1 votesThe better option is to have the client automatically CLEAR Summoner Spells every time you first join a lobby and prevent you from selecting your Summoner Spells until immediately after you lock in your champion.
It would produce a more consistent Champion Select process and eliminate the possibility of forgetting or not checking your sums.
I'll break my idea down below. If you want the "TL;DR", stop reading now.
Definitions: "Optional" - players will NOT be kicked from the lobby if the timer runs down and they have not confirmed a selection
"Mandatory" - players WILL be kicked from the lobby if the timer runs down and they have not confirmed a selection
"Existing feature" - the feature being discussed is live as of Patch 6.8
"Proposed feature" - the feature being discussed does not exist as of Patch 6.8
PROPOSED CHAMPION SELECT PROCESS
● Champion "intent" pick phase •Optional • Existing feature
● Ban phase • Mandatory • Existing feature
● Champion "lock" phase • Mandatory • Existing feature
● Summoner Spell select phase • Optional • Proposed feature • Immediately after locking in your champion a "Summoner Spell Select" window appears covering up the lobby/Champ Select window • The "SSS" window appearance is accompanied by an audio que and contains text telling the player to choose two Summoner Spells • The "SSS" window displays all unlocked Summoner Spells as large icons (as large or larger than the Champion icons) • The "SSS" window "minimizes" once the player confirms Summoner Spell choices or if the timer runs down or if the player manually minimizes it • The window can be reopened any time after initial confirmation • Prior to the initial appearance of the "SSS" window, the player would NOT be allowed to select Summoner Spells or minimize/maximize the "SSS" window AND the Summoner Spell "slots" would be blacked out
● Champion Select continues as usual.
Woook3r5 votesyea ive been thinking about htis for a while its really annoying.
InfinitexMortal4 votesPure Genius!
sir d wreck3 votesHe's the hero this community needs! But not the one it deserves. :[
Simple Moon3 votesI agree they should be changed. Happened to me a few times. But honestly I just always check right after I lock in. It's a habit. Change Runes/Masteries/Spells.
P1345UR32 votesi took smite on toplane malphite because of this xD
MAestRIO1 votesWell, that's workable I guess. Cinderhulk instead of Sunfire and you have either an extra slow or extra vision. No TP sucks, but it's not the worst that could happen ;-)
Hullabaloo9072 votesI wish the summoners were saved by what you used last on that role
Maestro802 votesYES. Why do your rune pages stay, but summoners don't?
While we're at it, if you are jungle, the game should either force you to take smite, or pop up the summoner icons so you have to pick. Once in a while I'll have a jungler who forgets smite because they selected it in a previous game that got disbanded. Sucks.
Ayame Isaki1 votesThere is/was a bug where your runes/masteries would "stick" but when you got into game, they were the last ones you played with and not what was displayed. To get around this (since I don't know if it has been fixed) I change both to something else then change them back.
MAestRIO1 votesProblem with forcing smite is that you can talk and switch roles in pre-game.

Seiferoth1 votesThis maybe didn't cost me a few games, but it didn't help me feel better about my loses... I remember jungling without smite once.... :|
spavined1 votesi just now played jg sej without smite we still won but still that non-change was annoying
Parceval1 votesBut seriously.
PePsiLemoNN1 votesWhat if you get your secondary role?
