Smiting Blue Buff
Smiting blue buff grants mana to the smitor. Kinda lame and does not benefit non-mana users. What about this change:
Smiting blue buff grants a banshee's veil like bubble that blocks one ability, lasts for 60 seconds.

What if Smiting the Blue buff instead gave a " timed consumable" that you can use on yourself or on teammates that puts the Blue Buff on them?
This way non-mana Junglers and Mana would be able to find some use, with both being able to either pass it off to teammates or store it for later when they do need it.
And the "timed" part would ensure that junglers can't just keep it stored forever or continue building it up with other blue buffs.
Well blue buff has always been about mana regeneration, it makes sense to have a mana centric buff.
That said, blue buff also gives cooldown reduction. It would also make sense for the temporary on-smite buff to give cdr I suppose. In general though, I just don't smite blue unless I really need mana (or need to secure it) - most cases you'll smite gromp so it'll be on cooldown, then after that you'll give it to mid.
Why is it a need to have the blue smited more often?
You can just choose to smite blue or smite some other buff. Smite Gromp. Smite Champs. Smite Wolves. Smite Razorbacks. Smite Red. Smite Krugs... damn -.-
So don't smite the blue? lol
