No Smite

To whom this best addresses:

I want to preface this post by saying that I finally got back into Silver I! Finally! I was so happy to see the series update! Later today, I played my first game after being back in Silver I.

Smite.

My jungler didn't take smite. We all knew we were doomed when we saw the flash/ignite on our volibear, but what could we do? There is no forfeit mechanic for something like this. There is no "loss prevented." We are all just forced to play our the game until the century turns at 15 minutes (but let's be real, 20 minutes is when you can actually try to forfeit). None of us flammed our Volibear. In fact, none of us said a word for most of the game because we all knew that it didn't matter what we said. We tried our hardest, but we knew we were going to lose.

The problem of this situation, and I'm sure many others have experienced this, is that a team is completely crippled beyond saving if they don't have smite on their team. This game has been going on for years and there still isn't a mechanic that recognizes this problem in game. We shouldn't have to wait 20 minutes to inevitably lose the game.

Please, someone do something meaningful about this problem that happens to all players. Add a forfeit option or a loss prevented mechanic for this.
