Yes, I use Smite. It is useful for stealing dragon and baron kills and comes in handy in the later stages of the game. All these people in the beginning that associate smite specifically with jungling need to relax. It is ok, more than one person can have the smite spell on a team!
hey you have smite
scenario 1: oh my mistake -changes to correct summoner- scenario 2: i'm taking sated/cinderhulk/runeglaive into lane NOPENOPENOPENOPE DOGDEDODGEDODGE
are the only 2 i've come across, never heard of someone taking smite for the sole purpose of securing a objective, i mean you lose out on possibly
and god forbid 
. if the enemy team controls objectives really well then your fucked, it seems like a big gamble for little pay.
"You people" (the ones so dismissive of smite) are too closed-minded imo. You say blah blah blah all the other spells are better, but really i think you are just regurgitating riot-there-can-only-be-one-(meta) speak.
Well if your opponent takes TP you're behind. If they take ignite/exhaust you're behind if they manage to use it to make you lose exp/cs if not you're fine. Also, if your team is dominating : smite is useless in that case. If their team is dominating... chances are you'll not be able to use your smite at all. The only way it will make (kinda) a difference is very situational.
imo i won't take it but i won't blame you if you do.
You can smite lane minions. It comes up about as often as the cannon dude comes around in a wave. This is actually really handy for ensuring you get the expensive minion kill every wave. Also, you can use it to help with dragon and you can purchase an item that makes it usable against the enemy champions.
Yes, I use smite when I'm not in the jungle.
It shuts on your leaning phase and one smite is always enough to steal a baron if done right, mid to late game makes it even worse because farming becomes null and dragon is only every 5 minutes, and most teams take 10 minutes per dragon
Are you buying ciderhulk in lane, or just taking the summoner spell for more objective control? If you're just taking the spell, you're taking up a valuable slot that you may only use one or twice a game securing dragon/baron. As opposed to 
that you use over and over again. I suppose you could use it in lane to smite the cannon minions, but you shouldn't need to in the first place.
If you really want extra objective control for your team, consider 
. They have smite built right in their kits.
Well, if you don't plan specifically to have an item interaction with it, you are pretty much without a summoner spell for a while. It is rather interesting as it grants a good jungle clear, therefore if you're planning on really powerfarming (taking your lane cs + some jungle camps), it somewhat helps. However, you'd rather take a TP in powerfarming scenarios, and getting both (TP+smite) lets you extremely vulnerable to ganks. In any case, you're usually weaker/more abusable than your lane opponent due to this choice.
Im a jg main if i see one of my laners taking smite il ask its usualy a mistake
if its not i mean sure singed taking smite instead of ghost tp doesnt make anny sence but if a laner sees for example a kindred or yi jungle and says he wants to try grabing him some extra xp counter jging i couldnt disagree besides if he gets chilling thats gonne be an rxtra low cd slow and we got a shitload of extra drag/baron possibilitys on top of that he can smite my first camp afther me and give me a really fast high quality leash
Saw a troll team with all 5 ppl having smite.. needless to say they got every dragon/baron lol
I know someone who goes 
TP, Smite top and we win most of our games with this.
is good.
are better.
You're literally going to use smite maybe once every game and who's to say it works out and you steal dragon/baron?
Meanwhile, flash can save you, get a kill, outplay somebody and tons of other things, ghost too(though less so), exhaust can save you or secure a kill, heal can save you and possibly several allies, ignite can secure a kill, teleport can secure or protect objectives... and yeah.
The pros for taking another spell outweigh the pros of taking smite.
The jungler however makes it outweigh the pros of taking anything else because he has to jungle which he can't do without smite, it also allows him to smite birds and clear wards for ganking, smite wolves and catch anyone trying to counterjungle or about to catch you counterjungling, smite gromp for the buff, smite Kruggs for the survivability, smite red and blue for more sustain and overall just makes it worth it. But if you take smite and "make it worth it" your jungler is going to be pissed. So no, its not worth it.
Its nvr good to take smite in lane anymore.
Well, it's okay for more than one person to have smite on a team. I can see it being somewhat useful with mid helping out with jungle vision (wolves) or ward clearing (raptors) but outside of that, it doesn't have many uses. 
All summoner spells that are more efficient. (Didn't include Flash because that's obvious.)
Fair enough guys.
I actually am in a big favor of bringing smite to lane because it allows you to be able to have more influcene in the jungle which can let you carry a game harder. First you get a easy level 2 with it and if you buy skirmisher you get a mini and to help you fight your lanner and its on a low Cd compared to other summoners so you can take advantage of their CDs. You can add pressure to the enemy jungler by threatening his camps and farming your own jungle to give yourself a gold advantage. Later in the game you can more easily secure objectives. Smite is a lot more versitiale and is a safe pick up for example you take ignite and get ganked and put behind so now you cant fight your lanner now your ignite prolly wont be usefull for a while till you start grouping up or you take TP but your ememy has better waveclear and keeps you shoved in so all you do is teleport back to our tower all day. Smite on hte other hand can be used in a bucnh of ways and is easily adaptable to many playstyles
