PSA for all non-junglers
I'm not a jungle main, but here's a tip to help your jungler secure epic monsters.
Don't save your abilities until 1000 health.
It really helps a jungler smite the epic if the DPS is consistent. Plus, if you burst it when it's in smite range, you're lowering its health and giving enemy abilities a chance to steal it. There are few abilities in the game that will do as much damage as smite. If you burst the epic while in smite range, you're increasing the number of abilities that can steal it because now they don't have to do as much damage as smite. Just burst at 3k or something! And if your abilities come off cooldown when it's nearing smite range, just don't use them.
