Forgetting to take Smite

60751609DEL1··3 votes·618 views

I feel like Riot should try to implement a feature into the new champion select system that makes it impossible for the Jungler to forget to take Smite. Like, whenever a player gets queued up as the Jungler, Smite should automatically be placed in one of the Summoner Spell slots. I just feel like it'll help players as a whole, especially low ELO ones who are notorious for not paying attention during the champion select.

I would say have Smite be built into the jungle tool as an active ability but then some would argue that it would make junglers turn the game upside down. Even though that's a huge reach

considering junglers are usually underpowered it would seem fair

Plat and above bans consist of 5 jungler bans in most games... <_<.. Not sure where this "underpowered" is coming from

Consistently under leveled in higher elos albeit typically 1 to 2 levels. Also tank junglers in most elos. Only assassin types like rengy or shaco will see significant level increases vs teamates but still thats usually just early game. But when comapared to all other roles except support junglers are underleveled. Underpowered = underleveled not remarking on gamechanging ability just in general they fall behind in levels because of the role but arguably have the most impact.

why should they make a fallback for your forgetfulness or inattentiveness?

For starters, I don't play Jungle at all. Second off, this would help out a lot of other forgetful players. There has been quite a few times where my Jungler would forget to take Smite, and essentially be behind the entire match. It just gives the enemy team an unfair advantage.

They should just have an indicator like they do during party formation when there aren't enough roles selected. Just have a "Nobody on your team has Smite selected!" popup somewhere on the champ select screen that everyone can see. When someone has Smite, the message disappears.
