Forgetting Smite

VEX Jiarg·Jul 30, 2018·2 votes·1,236 views

So as a hardcore jungle main, I've had some particularly awful experiences forgetting Smite. This has been made even worse with the recent jungle changes like Monster Hunter and the reduced XP from camps.

It's gotten to the point where forgetting Smite is quite literally a death sentence.

So I ask Riot, can we please just have some sort of text box or indicator that pops up and says something like "Hey dickface, you're the jungler and you don't have the jungler spell! Take that shit or you'll hecking lose!"

...or perhaps something a bit less confrontational.

Forgetting Smite just ruins a game not only for the jungler but their teammates as well.

If there is no smite on the team when game starts, treat it like unsealed spellbook where everyone gets a chance to swap 1 summoner for smite becore leaving base, and have it be announced globally with an announcer callout as well.

1 swap per team to smite if no one had it selected. Once you buy items and leave base, option is removed.

Okay, so let's say you're playing Garen top and your J4 jungler forgets smite. You get camped by the enemy Kindred and your jungler can't do shit because he's been executed 3 times and Kindred has been constantly invading him. J4 can't do anything to help you, you go 2/12 and lose the game at 22 minutes.

It's not just the jungler who gets fucked for forgetting smite. It's his whole team. They shouldn't be forced to lose because of something as simple as forgetting smite.

i pretty much only play jungle so i cant really say how i would feel playing a champion i have never played, but i have won most of the games i forget smite, you just have to learn to play around it, sure its a pain in the ass but you can still win. If i by chance forget smite i don't want the game to give the chance to give me a do-over il play the game out and see how it goes. What happens is people don't know how to play as a smiteless jungler which is why they lose not because they forgot smite.

In the case that this does happen, I would quit and let my team remake instead of trying to play it out 4.1 v 5.

Hardcore jungle main

Not having smite default every single game

the issue is that as a hardcore jungle main I'm so used to having Smite that whenever I play a game outside the jungle, I'll forget to switch it back the next time I play jungle.
