Smite in lane : How to keep smite on the junglers.

What about instauring a minimum number of large or epic monster's kills to be able to purchase the combinaison of the enchant. Like 5 jungle camp.

With this, it's nearly impossible to a real jungler to not do atleast 5 camp when come the time to purchase the enchant (you can still buy brutalizer for example). But for a laner (like ez mid) it can be very rude for his lane and his team to do atleast 5 camp BEFORE purchasing the enchant (runaglaive for example).

I think it can solve all the "smite lane" problems. If 5 come to be too easy too reach, maybe 7, but we must care about junglers who counterjungle hard or those who choose to full gank (in this case you can have enough gold to purchase but not the minimum requirements).

But 5 is for me a really good solution and can still a viable tactics for some team, BUT it offers some counterplay possibility from the other team to react. If a laner need 5 camp, steal one and he will be heavily retarded !

Here is my suggestion ! What do you think about it ?

PS : I am not that good in english so sorry if i did mistake.

PPS : Here i don't argue about if we have to keep smite for junglers only or if we can let laners take it. I just suggest something that can keep smite for someone who kill the jungle, not the creeps.

EDIT : Ohhhh, dat negative "score" hurts me. And i am kinda sure it's cause people think i try to argue "WHY" where i try to find a way to "HOW"... I don't want to say what to do to Riot, i just talk about a way to do something if they want to.

Restricting the jungle items for people with smite only is dumb enough, no need for further limitations. Spirit of the ancient golem was often purchased by tanks with stacked hp, there was no need to have smite. Lizard Elder was also purchased by some laners for midgame dmg.

Why have smite restricted to the jungler anyways? I have no problem with solo lane smites and I don't think Riot does either. I don't think any major changes need to occurs to smite other than bug fixes.

They are already forced to take smite instead of a real summoner spell...what more do you want?

And you find that they don't win game cause of that ? You just have to look pro players, smite is quite a good summoners spell. And the enchants are stronger enough to compensate a lack of ignite or heal. Moreover, most o the time, you only needs flash.

That would only cause flaming as the smite laner would be constantly stealing jungle camps from their teams jungler

That's the point ! And it makes that build path to be a team strategie ! Even if the laner take it solo, it will delay his own jungler, reducing the efficiency of the smite lane.

I think we all have spent enough time on this game and the internet in general to now that that's not how everything will turn out. The laner will just go to steal the camps from the jungler (as in while the jungler is doing them), which puts the jungler behind in CS and levels because his camps are stolen, and the laner behind because they keep roaming to get marginal gains

And they will loose the game cause of that. You think someone will continue to do it if they loose the game doing that ?

And for the pros, like i said, it can be a strategie, but with counterplay etc...

If you loose the game taking lane smite, trust me people won't take it.
