No smite in jung means you're gonna have a bad time

Bolwinkel·Dec 27, 2014·1 votes·1,978 views

I just played a game where i went jungle and forgot to bring smite. It is so hard to clear your camps. I died 4 times in the first 5 minutes because i didn't have a jungle item. I would've been fine if i could have bought a jungle item but nope. Gotta have smite in order to do that. I don't understand why you have to have smite in order to get a jungle item though. It's really worthless to get a jungle item if you're in a lane and not the jungle. The only one that i could see being a problem is the devourer upgrade. But just make the t3 smite unavailable. Make it so that junglers won't have a god fucking awful time in the jungle just because they forgot to bring smite.

You forgot smite its 100% your fault...

Yes it's 100% my fault but riot shouldn't make it 100 times harder just because you made that mistake. In season 4 if you forgot smite you were ok in the jung because the monsters weren't as strong and you could get a jungle item. Can't do that anymore due to the fact that you need smite to get a jungle item and with the buffed monsters it's almost impossible to do good in the jungle without a jungle item.

That's actually your own fault for not bringing smite, so don't push your blame onto Riot. You have like, about one minute to recheck all your runes/masteries after selecting one champion, and then an extra 10 seconds to recheck again the ones mentioned plus summoner spells.

Sigh but nope, you went off to Chrome/Firefox to continue watching h'ntai porns or eating pizza without being aware at all. Yep, that's your fault indeed.

In team builder if you forget and by the time you remember you can't go and stop the queue because the captain has clicked ready.

Supports aren't that common in team builder, and the word "Ready" means something here.

How many champs could even jungle without smite?

CaptanKrushnKillDec 27, 20142 votes

Fiddle and malphite can

BolwinkelDec 27, 20141 votes

Not that many which is why i don't understand why riot made it to where you need smite to get a jungle item.

I see no reason why accommodate for people's mistakes

BolwinkelDec 27, 20142 votes

Why make it so you can only get it if you have smite in the first place? Everyone has done this. Taken the wrong summoner spells in a game and it's bitten them in the ass. It's just that if a top laner accidentally forgets tp they won't really do any worse just not be able to get into lane as fast. When a jungler however forgets their smite now they have almost no redemption. They lose out on the bonus damage to jungle monsters and the bonus healing when fighting jungle monsters. It's just too hard now in the new jungle to do it without smite since you can't get a jungle item. The new jungle is hard enough as it is. It doesn't need to be any harder. If you think i'm stupid for thinking that they need to change this then go ahead and play a game as jungle without smite and tell me how you do.

yeah, and so what of it? Riot is not going to balance or change the game based on player made mistakes

BolwinkelDec 27, 20141 votes

There is literally no reason why it needed to be made that you could only get jungle item if you have smite.

BeatzBoyFTWDec 27, 20142 votes

Then stop daydreaming and recheck your runes/masteries/summ spells after selecting your champion. There's a reason Riot implied an extra 10 seconds after the 65seconds of champ selection.

BolwinkelDec 27, 20141 votes

In teambuilder if you forget it and by the time you remember you can't get the captain to cancel matchmaking.

BeatzBoyFTWDec 27, 20141 votes

Yeah, and I don't remember supports are that easy to find in team builders while waiting for one.

there is also no reason to quadra-post but you managed to do it just fine.

What are you stupid?

BolwinkelDec 27, 20141 votes

How am i stupid? For forgetting smite? everyone has done it before. Might not be smite but they have forgotten a certain summoner spell in general. I just want it for you to still be able to get a jungle item when you don't have smite. There is no reason why riot needed to make it where you need smite in order to get a jungle item.
