With the Nerf to Challenging and Chilling Smite it would be nice to get a third option

item 3715 Unique Passive - Challenging Smite

  • Damage per tick lowered from [20-54] to [19-42]
  • Damage total lowered from [60-162] to [57-125]
  • DoT duration lowered from 3 seconds to 2 seconds
  • No longer grants vision for the mark duration

item 3706 Unique Passive - Chilling Smite

  • Damage lowered from [28-164 (20 + 8 * Level)] to [20-156 (12 + 8 * level)]

I understand perfectly the reason of the Nerfs, but I think it would be good, that what we lose of power, we recover in diversity of options.

Bringing the tracking knife back into the game (nerfed) would be a nice option, but any other useful option would be well accepted.

Tracker's Knife should make a comeback honestly.

I still don't understand why it was removed.

It was removed to reduce vision in professional play and thus increase action.

Or give us a different smite in place of Trackers, but everyone gets faster regen on wards early game. I hate how bad the regen is rn. lol

Nerf? They barely touched the smites

Imo they deserve bigger nerfs, way bigger nerfs. Specifically that busted red smite

They just "barely" touched that Red Smite into the fricking ground.

Im talking about diversity, not power, yes item 3715 is too powerfull on duelist like XinZhao or Jax among others.

The nerfs are non existent. They wont affect jungle in any way

featherweight smite. Same as chilling smite, but it speeds you up instead.

Chilling Smite steals movement speed, meaning it slows the target AND speeds you up.

The nerfs to smite are the start of the devs curbing systematic damage in the game. Ignite is next.

The Challenging Smite change is effectively a DPS increase on anyone with less than 1.5 Attack Speed, since it ticks faster.

Man why you gotta tease me like that, putting up a picture of the old trailblazer. I loved that thing. Used to allow me to play champions in the jungle that arent "meta". :(
