I feel like the game should automatically force smite (if your role is considered JG when you enter champ select) unless it knows you went Spellbook. But I can imagine abuse cases if a team thinks they lost draft and will intentionally not take smite just to remake instead of losing LP
This is purely a player problem and not a riot one. I don't know why people don't understand that.
Learn how to make it a habit that if you queue up for jungler the first literal thing you should do is change to smite as soon as you enter champ select and see you got jungler. I've only forgotten smite twice and both times were my fault (the second one was because I got autofilled jungler, chose my udyr but completely forgot about changing to smite) and I never felt like it was anyone elses fault but mine.
I kinda agree, but kinda don't. If you main jungle, you should probably have smite ready at most times during champion select. If not, when you're placed jungle, you should automatically take smite as soon as possible. Also, if you're also worried about other people, I think that the entire team ought to be keeping an eye on their teammate's summoner spells, because you can determine if you have too many ignites, if your bot lane is duo healing (never do this pls), and, most importantly, if your jungler has smite.
Then again, if they implement a check like, "If the team doesn't have anyone with smite, allow a remake" people can abuse that. If it were implemented this way, I'd never worry about getting autofilled jungle (my worst role) because I could just not take smite, pretend I was going to the bathroom, grabbing a drink, etc. and didn't see the chat, then let the team remake so I can play a role that I actually want.
I mean, it's a neat user-friendly thing, but I can't think of a way to implement it without breaking matchmaking and making purposeful throws less punishing.
Honestly i think you should be able to change summon at fountain and it should broadcast to both teams in chat so they know like they would at loading screen at game start but once you leave the fountain you are locked in. Then again i feel the community would use this as a way to troll so i really don't know the solution to this problem other than people just really needing to pay attention.
