Quality of Life Improvement - Jungler Auto-lock Smite

To fulfill the Jungler spot, it is practically required to have smite; I say 'practically' because it's obviously not a rule, but devasting if you didn't have it.

For this reason, I find it healthy and beneficial for the LoL client to auto-lock smite or, at a bare minimum, reroll the first summoner slot to be smite (adjustable by the player from there).

I say this in the hopes that no jungler is left without smite because of a momentary lapse of judgment, and to the Rammus I just faced - I'm sorry man! It was ranked so I had to abuse your jungle. :[ I wish you the best of luck on the next game!

automatically get smite but then allow them to switch it out if they want to

If anything it should automatically give you smite. But forcing you to keep it is a bad idea if you swap in champ select.

What if two people in a premade switch though, i often switch roles with friends i'm premade with as some of us (read "i") always pick fill

Reads title, loves it. Upvotes.

This should have been implemented into Ranked long ago so people can't troll and or AFK champion selection.

Edit: After thinking it over, it's not so great after all. What if people swap roles?

I am guessing that the reason Riot does not do this is because of how jarring it would be for a person who normally has Flash on D to get Smite on D (and maybe Ignite/TP on F) then try and jungle when they usually run Smite on F and have no Flash. Vice versa if they decided to put Smite on F.

But what if I decide I want to 2-1-2? Am I forced to take smite with my top laner?

Tbh it'd be nice if we had recommended summoners option for draft and ranked so when we are asigned a role our summonners immedaetly update to the recommended set. Say, you get jg, your summoners immedaetly change to flash and smite(or manually change flash into ignite #triggered shaco mains).
