You shouldn't need to use smite on first camp

Shadow Hazard··1 votes·1,048 views

This is a message to both junglers that like to mindlessly instantly smite right at camp spawn, you are wasting the effectiveness of the heal from the smite, and you are setting yourself up to get screwed by a cheese first camp steal. And for the laners your jungler shouldn't get so low when they are leashing that smiting is a need on their first camp unless it is to prevent an invade cheese steal. For all the junglers that were already in a bad state that you need smite first camp because of the serious possibility of execution you are out of luck and probably are playing a champ that wasn't the strongest in the meta already you are honestly out of luck because of riots insistence of making heavy changes to the jungle with every major class update.

You definitely shouldn't smite right away. But I don't see a problem with smiting to execute on the first camp.

Thanks for the scrublord advice. No one is going to invade on your very first jungle camp and you smite on the first camp so it's back up sooner to use again

Smite open was used during S6 to get the gromp/krug buff ASAP as well.

Not too true, due to charge system. It's not at 2 charges when red/blue buff spawn. Not sure about other camps, I play Shyv who solo's buffs.
