Why is smite level 10? There is no reason for this. The summoners rift is open as early as level 3, and you exclude a crucial role from the game to anyone who is not level 10 yet. I had the wonderful experience today of playing a game where my entire team was below level 10, and their entire team was above. Us not having a jungler and them having one made more than enough different.
Please set smite to level 3 Rito.

GemsAreOutrageus1 votesWell, every game I have been in has had smurfs jungling at level 10-12 that have absolutely demolished us. The entire reason I made the account was so that I could learn jungle. Regardless, it's a really unfair advantage when your team can't possibly jungle without the items and smite.
360D3GR3SS1 votesYou have had smurfs in your game because you yourself are a smurf. I am willing to bet the smurfs jungling against you played champions like warwick, master yi, and fiddlesticks. Champions that have short cleartime or big sustain. Everything else is very difficult to jungle quickly and effectively with. This does not sound like a problem with the level you get smite, but a problem with you doing well and getting matched with smurfs of perhaps equal skill, then you try and perform in a roll you are trying to get better at (assuming you are not so great at jungling)
Drunk Rummate1 votesyou shouldn't be jungling without lots of runes and masteries anyways.
have you ever tried jungling on a level 5 or 10 summoner? it's basically impossible unless you play a champ like warwick or olaf.
