I actually like the smite nerf

Well, at least I like the concept behind it.

But I've got an idea about how to implement it a bit more efficiently.

Lee Sin: Q range and projectile speed reduced. Jarvan IV: EQ combo pull-through speed reduced.

Smite: Unchanged.

There. Problem solved, without backhanding every other jungler in the face.

Or just stop nerfing the jungle because it's already frustrating to play

Lee and J4 nerfs are probably a good idea.

Chilling smite nerfs are still desirable. We want to get to a state where all of the smite flavors are seeing play, and only the grey smite really has room for buffs. Blue smite is too good for early ganks, not just on Lee, but on most early game junglers.

The smire range nerf is good, that's not the problem. The problem is that it hurts other jungler more than the problematic 3.

Better yet, have the mvspd drain increased based on how close you are to the target. That's incentive for Lee/J4/Vi to use their gapclosers first instead of smiting and then easily landing a skillshot, and if you dodge their skillshot the gank fails (assuming you aren't so pushed that they can just walk up to you, nothing's gonna save you in that case).

Honestly, the last nerf to chilling smite already made it inefficient to chain the smite and the gapcloser (waste of 2 seconds of speed boost), so right now it's mostly a crutch for people who can't land skillshots if it's being used for that.

it's funny because the speed at which jarvan can E+q has nothing to do with why he's "op", it's because his full combo hits like a fucking truck with no dmg items (mainly because of his passive)
