can you make it so that if you arent jg you cant pick smite so that people cant double jungle when they get mad they didnt get it. you could add a trade smite button so if the jg lets you trade you can trade smite. very easy fix and would stop kids from ruining games
HeyItzSteve4 votesNever happening. There are legitimate reasons to bring smite to the lane / double smite.

HeyItzSteve3 votesA few months ago, bring smite mid lane was a good strategy for gold funneling. Pros even brought smite in the LCK and EULCS. A specific strategy includes bringing smite on a hooking champion (i.e. Blitzcrank, Thresh, etc.) to smite a minion that may be protecting someone behind it.

There was also a time where I brought smite in lane because my champion's wave clear is super delayed to the point ADCs come mid and clear out the wave before I can do it. Got tired of it so I brought smite for cannons. I was also going dark harvest/gunblade/ravenous hunter and the healing options of those also work off of true damage, meaning you can heal 225 health just by smiting a minion late game and smiting a cannon meant getting a dark harvest stack without using abilities on it so you can surprise them before they realize you have a DH stack. I also did this in lane with minion dematerializer. It helps with the rune in the laning phase a lot. A Smite with gunblade/Ravenous Hunter is a pretty darn useful interaction because the smite itself also heals you if you smite a camp. I would use my smite level 1 to help leash for my jungler as well. Use the smite on camps to heal up when I didn't have a potion and needed to stay in lane. Smiting a camp late game with both of those give you a 605 health heal.

605 health late game is enough to turn a losing fight into a winning one, and you can do that twice in 10 seconds. I don't play ranked at all really. Only the 10 required games. 3 years ago I started in Silver 2, every year because of Riot's system bringing you down from your previous rank I go down a ladder each year. Also I never see people go double smite just because they want jungle, and I highly doubt, considering you're trying to rank shame me, that they do it in actual ranked play. If that even happens, it happens maybe 0.001% of the time, meaning there's not enough of an excuse to do that to smite. There have also been things like laners using jungle items for quicker power spikes in the past.

objective control? no matter how good your jungler is, he should never be able to outsmite 
since a lvl 6 feast deals more damage than smite at lvl 18.
so having 2 smites on a team can actually secure you objectives, or make them harder to constest by cho alone.
i think nunus consume does similar damage.
imo if someone wants a second smite, he should just run inspiration with unsealed spellbook. it allows to get an extra smite in addition to your regular summoners.
only thing that pisses me off personally is that you cant buy jungle items while switched to smite. you have to enter the game with one of your summoners being smite by default to access jungle items. otherwise id probably get 
in top lane now and then for the raw hp bonus.
Lunar Strain3 votesThen what happens when the assigned jungler agrees to someone's request to swap roles?

And what laning spell will the ORIGINAL jungler get?
Kàkashi1 voteswhichever summoner spell he wants to pick are you stupid?

Ehh I wasn't exactly focused, was in the middle of walking to my flight.
Judah the Hammer2 votesThere are also proxy jungle strategies. Riste has been taking smite to lane off-and-on for the past month or so. (He built Cinderhulk and used it to proc Phase Rush.) Xianji is another diamond Garen who proxy jungles and makes a jungle item as part of his build. Notoriously, a player named Max Shmit at one time had the most Garen mastery points, and he always takes smite to lane.
In seasons past it was not uncommon for supports to run smite in order to build Cinderhulk as well.
There was also a top lane Smite + Teleport strat designed to maximize income.
In the current season: a midlane smite strategy designed to take advantage of the increased gold in the scuttlers. Incidentally, smite can serve as a short cd heal spell, even if the scuttlers aren't actually killed.
In the current game, one good reason to take smite, is that it procs the Unflinching rune. A laner can keep up almost consistent %32 Tenacity without mercs, from lvl 1. For this reason alone, Smite can be a legitimate laning choice.
Additionally, canon minions now have increased gold and are considered "mini-objectives". So, smite is "canon minion tactics"; it is difficult to deny canon minions (now over %20 of the farm gold concentration) even to a pure melee fighter, if he brings smite.
The smite spell brings a lot of utility. Even if it just brought one extra minion every 70s, that might be reckoned sufficient reason to run the spell.
Gabresol1 votesThe there was runeglave ezreal and cinderhulk-challenging smite Shyvanna top. Devourer Kayle mid never took off though... I think kog'maw had a smite botlane period as well, because his ganks are not good enough for jungle, but the jungle itmes itself was just too good for him.
And should riot actually nerf ignite (what they should), blue smite will still be better on suppoprt than exhaust...
Summonah123691 votesSome people use smite in lane as meta. Seriously it was a real meta at one point.
BeatzBoyFTW1 votesLooks like someone didn't get to experienced the Smite/TP top meta few seasons back.
