When jungler forgets smite

Greymoore··0 votes·778 views

I think it would be a good idea to have the system automatically change the summoner spell of a jungler to smite if they don't have it already. Just played a game where my jungler forgot smite and It can be demoralizing since it means your gonna have trouble contesting and securing dragon or baron as well as simply clearing the jungle early game. A warning might be enough but I think that it be better just to ensure the jungler has smite and not forget it by accident since there are times when people select there intended pick, comeback when they here the timer countdown, select their champion, leave again and come back when the game started so there's the possibility of not noticing the warning as well. Some might say the jungler deserves it for not paying attention but this takes a toll on the entire team, not just the individual.

Edit: this would only apply to the start of pick and ban phase if a player switches smite for something else, the system wouldn't change it back to smite so role swaps would not be affected

RIP players who swap lanes in champ select.

You could just swap the non flash summoner spell with smite at the beginning of the champ select, so if you want to swap you can still change it.

This would only apply to the start of champ select once you change your spell then system wouldnt change it back so role swap would not be affected in any way

Then what if you forget to change it off smite? Let's say you go mid/jungle. you play mid last game and then you get jungle the next. You ask for a lane swap and your partner complies. you forget to swap since you played mid last game, and boom, now you are going mid with smite.

Doesn't matter, the point is too prevent the jungler selected by the system from going without smite because they forgot, since that role is very summoner spell dependant. What players choose to do (spell swap, role swap) after the initial smite change is completely up to them and they deal with the consequences if they made a mistake.

What if i told you it has always been up to the players to select the right summoners? Putting in some crappy computer program to auto select is just going to cause more problem.s

I kinda agree with this because it makes early jg clearing difficult and a bit harder to take baron/drag when enemies are near trying to steal it...but there have been times I've played with junglers who purposely didn't take smite (which IMO is dumb, but that's just my opinion), so they might not agree with this.

No, they didn't role swap. The jungler specifically told the rest of the team they weren't bringing smite, which is how I know they purposely didn't bring smite. I like how you tried to tell me what happened in a game that you know absolutely nothing about.

jungler's aren't required to have smite, it's possible to jungle without it. Smite is just a bonus. Any champion with burst can use their burst to secure baron and dragon anyway

Dynikus2 votes

any jungler that doesn't bring smite is putting their team at a huge disadvantage. They're going to be under leveled, and no, burst damage isn't a replacement for smite. even a first time jungler can probably smite steal dragon or baron against a team without a smite.
