Nerf to Challenging Smite

General Chastity··2 votes·1,741 views

Honestly, seeing as how certain champs (ex: Warwick, udyr, etc) i've noticed that being able to smite a champion for true damage for a few seconds is a bit overwhelming for every single champ that cant withstand taking pure true damage to the face for 6 seconds. my thought is with the challenging smite being so strong on these junglers, why not take the edge off a bit, maybe nerf the damage the smite does to monsters since u can even out the damage with damage to champs. being able to 100-0 the other jungler is a bit tough but also having an equal smite to them so u can contest all the objectives on-top of having another damage source is a bit over the top. any ideas?

Riot currently has the duration cut in half on the pbe, probably will go through.

wait.. so.. instead of nerfing it for WW they nerfed it for everyone but him? his ult(and that's what most people complain about) will still get full effectiveness from the smite after the nerf. i sugest leaving the duration alone but giving it a hit limit, something like 6? that way WW will ult and AA once and won't get any more damage out of it for the last 4 seconds, and people like trundle will have 6 seconds to try to hit someone 6 times.

no currently I believe it applies a dot on AA, basically like red buff. Duration is still 6s but the true dmg DoT is 3s

You're right, thanks for pointing that out, it will be a big hit to the damage WW can do.

Also, if WW is considered a problem still after the nerf, Riot has mentioned toning him down if need be. In the mean times, item 3102
