Can we please pick smite in game(for like the first 30 seconds when nobody of your team picked it)

I suggested this before, but I have the feeling that I worded it wrong the last time. I want it to be a possibility to pick up smite in game when:

  1. in queue, nobody picked smite
  2. in game, no more then 30 seconds have passed
  3. when smite is picked it get's announced to the enemy team who picked smite.
  4. nobody else has picked smite in game yet

The game is made in such a way now that jungling without smite is nearly impossible and a team with a jungler that forgot smite can better hope that that jungler is willing to afk for the remake. I would just really want it to be that you can pick smite.

Also, I feel like some people would have problems with this system, so below I addressed some issues the people pointed out on my last post of this:

  1. You can still pick smite in queue(I said so above, but just to be sure)
  2. Yes, when the jungler forgets smite the other players can troll him by picking smite first when they are in game. That is still better then the current solution of not being able to get smite at all.
  3. Yes, it is the junglers fault for forgetting to pick smite. He also screws over 4 other people in his game and, if you like a fair challenge, the games of the 5 opponents as well.

I personally think the easiest way would be for the people who get put into que as the Jungler should have 1 of their sums (prolly opposite of flash all the time) defaulted to smite. If they choose to change it afterwards then fine.

I think this is a marvelous idea.

But make it simpler.

##Whomever is queued as "Jungle role" from the lobby, has the chance to change their summoner spells at the nexus spawn for X amount of time (if they leave the platform it becomes permanent).

No one else can do this but the person in the jungle role.

I dunno what kind of junglers you are getting in EUW, but seriously if they forget smite they forget smite.

don't make the game baby you.

I would love for this to be implemented along with masteries and runes but instead of 30 seconds make it after you leave spawn

Very interesting. Like a shop version of smite to replace one summoner.

Should there be a penalty price for being unprepared. Is it a strategy to pick two flex junglers and pick in game. What if a nonjg took smite but is nonjg so shouldnt jg. I mean Ekko aint a good example but yea just anyone who grabbed it in select.

But also, i just had a long game 55v50 kills. But the other team had no smite, our Yi stole Red AND Raptors level 1... but somehow their WW stayed in the game. I mean ww is a special case healthy jg, but i am salty that the Yi didnt get super farmed.

I think you should just be able to buy your summs in shop. That way you cant forget smite
