I miss purple smite.

That smite was completely broken. If that item was back then champions like Nidalee/Kindred/Yi/Shyvana would farm so much faster than any other champion in the game. They would literally be 50 cs up on you and then dick your ass. In my opinion, the champions that clear slow either need to be buffed or given the tools to perform better in other aspects of the jungle, like ganking or invading. All that smite did was crowd out the unique smite choices by being insanely broken. Also I don't want to live in a world where Kindred can get sated before 14 minutes.

Agreed it made clears so much easier for those who didnt have an AOE aspect. Such as tanks, single target mages etc.

purple smite was really good. it was also the premier choice for the vast majority of junglers whether you needed it or not. anything that makes a jungler clear faster is always going to be the best and the purple smite was ideal for that. it didn't just aoe smite, it stunned and gave back resource i mean. that is literally the perfect smite for a jungler. no way should it come back. i loved abusing it, but come on.

Remember when you could smite Chickens and it would literally clear the entire camp? :V Was the best feeling- Love myself some KFC

just buy if you get it your first back it will soon pay for itself since you will be able to stay out longer and clear more camps. The XP lost from not purchasing your other jungle component (if you cant afford that too) will also be compensated by the extra camps you are able to clear.

then you will always be 90%+ HP basically and ready to gank/fight whenever.

also nice to be able to burn a few pots during a fight to give u that extra edge

Devourer junglers already farm fast enough without it to the point most of them are practically broken. Bringing it back would fucking destroy the game further

Honestly I think the broken part was the sustain it gave, what if instead it just did the aoe and took out the sustain completely.

Me too . BUT people would just build the smite without enchantment and then sell it or get another smite.

i dont. never bring it back the tank meta was even worse than this garbage one

Trailblazer . May s/he Rest in Peace.

I miss poacher's knife ;-;

So much fun with nunu

it made my weird jungle picks viable

Do you know what's sad? I kind of forgot that existed. I built that almost every game, but I totally haven't thought about it's absence for about 2 months. It was really nice on slow clearing junglers. It's removal is probably why power clear junglers like shyvana/udyr/nidalee are so strong right now.

I dont think we need the purple one back. I mean currently every champion can clear the jungle (ok maybe not everyone). For example i can jg being lv 18 (i mean account lv) ; so clearing the jungle its not their problem. The point is if that champions can clear the jungle, normal junglers can do it better. (I also enjoyed that smite with out meta-junglers in my main account, but i guess it wasn't well developed)

What we actually need is a farm smite. (Wich it likely was suposed to be) We have devorator right now, but i think is not a great idea. IMO it should be divided in two items: One for farm junglers (Colour smite level) And other for AS champions (Enchancement level)

I do too. the stupid logic of cchamps that can already farm fast so why make them farm faster is flawed. challenging smite makes champs great at dueling even greater. chilling smite makes champs that have great ganks have even greater ganks. its simply stupid. a lot of champs struggle to clear now. especially tank junglers. every time I play a tank jg I end up falling behind. and If your losing and ganking isn't an option your screwed. one more reason you don't see tank junglers anymore.
