Can We get a Buff to Smite?

This should have gone without saying, but surprisingly it has to be brought up apparently. So with the new changes to the season, champs get their power spikes earlier, and just plain deal WAY more damage overall. Which is fine! I actually very much enjoy this faster paced gameplay that actually has more blood involved and more fighting. It's grand! But because champs deal way more damage, Smite feels SO garbage right now for securing objectives.

Like honestly, a level 9 Jhin 4th shot does WAY more damage than the true damage, jungle objective securing summoner spell. And there's obviously a ton more examples, but, even eliminating the jungler for the other smite to not have the "50/50" smite war over dragon or baron or rift herald or anything, there's just way too many champions that can plain out damage a smite with a single ability or auto, let alone a well timed easy combo like MF Q+auto landing at the same time.

It's fine overall for early-ish game, but pre-mid game through late game it's just way too underwhelming compared to champion damage now. Can Smite get a buff? I mean maybe tha tentails standard camps getting a slight health buff to compensate, but that's fair. Smite just needs to deal more damage now.
