I'm here because I'm a silver jungler (bad) lol and I use to play LOL back in 2011 is when I started. I quit in 2014 after a series of life changes and responsibilities occured. (College Graduation, Job, etc, life basically) But now I'm back. Back then I was a gold 2 jungler that's where I stopped and now I was placed bronze 1 (which is deserved, a lot has changed)and I am currently silver 4 and in promos (1 game needed to get to silver 3). The IQ i possessed from watching pros and streamers play has stuck with me after all this time and I'm not struggling to climb at the moment. My question was with smiting. I always seem to lose smiting fights. What should I be looking at when I'm going for a baron, herald, and dragon. Do i look at the hp on the monster? Is it all luck and prediction? Or is it a math thing? What should I focus on when my team counts on me to get that smite steal or simply smite a monster to finish a won game. Although I'm silver 4 hopefully by the end of today silver 3 :) my smiting is probably at the bronze 4 level lol. Heeeeeeeelp.

Keep an eye at the hp of the boss, and see how fast it goes down. Try to predict the closest of your "highest" smite damage. But yeah no secret

Yeah its pretty straightforward, make sure you know how much your smite does before you start the drake or baron and then hit it when it hits that amount of health. Take in mind that other people are also damaging the objective, so try to do a burst of damage yourself following by a smite as soon as monster health hits smite damage.

1st step is to look at what health you need to smite the monster at. 2nd is to look at what level the enemy jungler is, and prepare accordingly. 3rd is to take in to account what champions are helping or contesting the monster, and what abilities they might try to burst the monster with when it gets low.

If you pay attention to each of these smiting becomes much more predictable / consistent.
