Sure is fun losing games since your jungle didn't take smite.
SO. Allow people to change their summoners in game for the first minute.
OR, force the assigned jungle role into carrying smite. This would require the introduction of a swap mechanic in the lobby though.
I think this is an issue that, while not too important, would be really helpful to solve for the few times it comes up.
I think it could be implemented as an active item given to the player on first spawn (similar to kalista's passive item or viktor's) but is lost upon leaving the home base the first time. The item would act similar to unsealed spellbook allowing for changes to summoner spells, but the player would be able to freely modify their spells prior to leaving. An issue with this is the player must load in with smite to have access to the jungle items in the first place. So, it would grant the ability to have smite but it would not allow players to purchase the jungle items unless this feature was removed.
They certainly have made it absolutely mandatory to have someone with smite on your team. The amount of experience lost without it is staggering.

That would break the game too much, if someone ran heal mid lane and you took teleport, you could easily switch summoners and take ignite.
Maybe sum spells could be changeable all game
you can right now, all you have to do is take unsealed spell book
