Removing Jungle Smite Buffs

After hearing about the removal of jungle smite buffs and adding these odd random plants into the game I just had to get on the boards to talk about my thoughts on this, I have been playing jungle mainly sense season 4 and personally adding an RNG thing into a game that normally you use skill in the game when playing just seems odd to me, the fact too that smite buffs are being removed worries me seeing as I personally have been getting use to them know what they do and like them (the wolf spirit the most). I do like that smiting monsters will give us health back is nice but making the cool down on smite higher is another thing that I don't like. Also from seeing that the camps were changed back which seems more like they are buffing the camps seems like it will be harder to jungle now then it has been.

Riot seems to be contradicting themselves when they talk about not wanting players to have to "budget' their Smite too much. I remember Riot stating when the smite buffs came into the game that they wanted players to have to make meaningful decisions about when to smite a camp for a buff and when to hit a champion with it.

Yeah I'm not excited for this preseason.....playing add is going to suck with talon having his wall jump up every 2 seconds and reneger getting 30% bonus ad for killing 3 people....removing smite and adding plants is destroying skill needed for this game and making luck a more common factor....idk i have hopes that riot will fix everything by the time the preseason and that they will listen to people complaints and comments since I'm pretty sure no one likes the changes to the jungle or addition with plants. Im hoping it all gets sorted out by the end of the season.
