Why is there still not a 'no smite' warning

Just came out of a game where our jungler forgot to get smite and it completely ruined the game. It was a mistake that has happened to the best of us, but what I am wondering is, why isn't there a 'no smite' warning for people who have selected the jungler role yet? I mean it's not as if it would have a negative impact on the game, as a matter of fact it would stop ruining games where someone forgets to pick smite. No harm done whatsoever.

Btw, this was a a plat elo game, so this still happens in higher elo. I've made this post over and over again and it get's upvoted and downvoted, but seriously after so much retard proofing to league why can't this be added? We can nearly ping the microwave timer on my hot chocolate, but I can't get a no smite warning.

BECAUSE THE SAME WAY SUPPORTS SHOULDN'T BE TIED TO BUY SIGHTSTONE, JUNGLERS SHOULD NOT BE FORCED TO GO A SUMMONER SPELL ONLY NOOBS TAKE, I WOULD RATHER HAVE IGNITE/BLASTING WAND TO DO MORE DAMAGE!

Riot made all of the jungle items and XP tied to smite (i.e. item 1041, item 1039 and what they build into), sadly

I honestly can't tell if you're being sarcastic or serious, RIP

Of course i'm sarcastic. -.-

They moved the exp gain to an item because before that laners were taking 1 camp each leaving the jungler massively behind and the lanes were decided by "can i take a camp and then go to lane with 60%+ HP?", this way camps are less appealing for laners.

You're joking but I do wish junglers didn't have to take smite. Some champions like Cho'gath or Nunu don't need it.

Ping your smite cooldown itself? you can ping the cooldowns of summoners

My intent was never to blame him. Most the time when I see someone saying "OMG I don't have a smite" is in game and when doing an objective. I meet a lot of people don't have any idea that you can ping summoners. I was just trying to let him know you can. If you mean specifically, my read the other post, and that. Just trying to draw attention to that it was brought up before and I admitted I didn't read the entire post. Usually blocks of text are a turn off for reading on the boards depending on the day.

well I was mildly joking.

Because no number of bandaids can help people who do stuff like this in the first place.

I've seen challenger players forget to change their summs. It's not like you have to be completely clueless to not notice it.

One out of, oh, i dont know, 500 games when not drunk (why are you playing league?) or high (why are you playing league?) i can understand..

After the first time my jungler forgot smite I always check to make sure they have it. Takes 2 seconds to look and another 2 to type 'smite?' in the chat.

I also appreciate it when I actually get top and someone points out that I'm still exhaust-flash before it's too late.

This is why I try to always ask people about their summs in champion select if they're taking something unusual.

It's on Riot's to-do list, they just have tons of other stuff they have to get through first.

why should there be a safeguard for stupidity?

IAmWoralo1 votes

Because others shouldn't have to pay for one person's mistake. Calling it stupidity is ignorant and implying you never forget anytying in life, I guess you're omniscient?
