Add a smite buff to Scuttle Crab

Almost Every other jungle camp has a smite buff... Why not scuttle crab? He needs some luuuuuvv

For some suggestions for the smite buff would be,

  1. A Larger radius
  2. A Faster speed buff that decays over time
  3. Gives a little bit of true damage over-time to help kill Scuttle Crab

Let me know what you guys think!

Smite buff scuttler: Scuttlejukes; your champion randomly dashes in random direction every once in a random while

I believe this would be a bad idea. Scuttle is already a highly contested target. It not only gives vision, but objective control as well with the speed boost. If you give it a smire buff, it will become too important.

It already gives enough utility in terms of the vision and movement speed zone.

I assume she doesn't have one because she's a contested neutral camp like Dragon and Herald as opposed to a team jungle camp like Red, Blue, Gromp, etc. The bonus for smiting scuttie is reducing an enemy champion's ability to wander into the river and steal her.

He already gives you a large benefit for killing him: He allows you to regen and go on to clear other camps, arguably one of the best benefits you could hope to have. He's also a high priority for devourer junglers.

Scuttle crab is the only non buff camp that has an effect just for killing it. It doesn't need a smite buff as well.

The only thing close to a balance problem with scuttle is how hard it is for tank junglers to clear. It's often not worth it to take the scuttle even if it's marked by Kindred or there's a devourer enchant on the enemy team just because of how long it takes (even after CCing it.)

+5 movespeed for 3 minutes, stackable?

Perhaps Smite stuns the crab for 2 seconds and deals extra damage? No idea, just thought that'd make it less annoying to kill especially later in the game.

Why not increased vision ( as in a larger circle getting rid of the Fog of War ) and you get bush vision for a minute?

i feel like it needs a speed buff. you get 30% movement speed on smite that decays to 10% over 10 seconds. then stays at 10% for 90 seconds.

I think a quick initial MS boost would be fine.

Like a sorta "You took time to take this objective, now get to your next one just a little quicker."

Make it small, but nice.
