Make red smite give true vision

In game if you take red smite as a jungler and say you run into a vayne, your first instinct would be * red smite her so when she ultis I can still see her * but if you red smite vayne then she ultis she still goes invisible? Same if shes in ulti and q's you dont get vision.

Maybe im missing something here but I just feel like it should give the 4 seconds of * true vision * where you cant invis out of it

yeah actually thats what i thought for a while because it clearly saith it gives vision of the target. i agree, it should give truesight.

PS: ESPECIALLY because if you smite an enemy, that only has 2 combat-effects (reduced damage taken and burn damage on hit) while blue smite has 3 effects (deals damage instantly, slows enemies and speeds you up) so a third useful effect like truesight would be appreciated

Also an indirect nerf to shaco. I approve of this.

It gives sight for when a champion moves into the mist, not uses an invisibility move. Making it do that would break about 5 champions kits overnight.

Wait wait wait, why not make Tracker's Knife item 3711 give true vision? It's the vision upgrade that gives you wards, and the smite on it doesn't actually do anything to enemy champions, so why not make it give true vision if you smite an enemy? A supportive effect for a supportive item.

Red smite already deals true damage and reduces damage taken to the jungler, it doesn't need a buff like this. Pink wards are only 75 gold, turrets already give true sight, and we have a plethora of champs that can reveal stealth, if its that much of a problem then play one of them. This change would invalidate many champion's kits.

And you have just killed every instant-stealth champion's kit in the game. GJ for 100% deleting an important part of their kit come teamfights.

Well ignite doesn't even reveal stealthed champions even though it says it gives vision of them.

Well that's one way to put Kha'Zix in the ground.

Red smite is already super strong.

Red smite is already the best smite since the range nerfs - unless your gap closer sucks/has lots of counterplay or if you are playing a supportive jungler that wants wards. Should just give true sight back to red trinket. Putting it on smite would be way too strong, the window of time that they can't be revealed in stealth would be too small.
