Anyone know a minigame to help with smiting?

Title. I've seen DDR-esque games to help people with Dravening, other games to help dodge skillshots, I'm looking for one to help improve my smiting, since even after maining jungle for years I'm pretty shit at it.

Shaco - Smite steal everything!

Not even joking. His Q's stealth gives you a moment to double check your Smite's damage, then sit back and watch as the other jungler gets it low. You win if you kill the monster with Smite, take second place if you finish it with another attack, and lose if the other guy gets it.

I've gotten pretty good at getting dragons for my team this way... I'll let you know when I figure out how to get out of the 1v5 alive...

Well yeah, lots of champs can do this. The goal here is to improve the reaction time that's fundamental to smiting, and get more practice than maybe 5 attempts every 40 minutes.

You already have the reaction time, what you need is practice checking everything else before you get to the camp you want to Smite. That's why I recommend Shaco, he gives you a window where you don't have to worry about your health bar or the enemies attacking you. You just worry about your Smite damage and the monsters health bar.

This is alright, but lacks the important elements: getting a feel for the rate of change of the dragons health, and reacting properly when your midlaner decides to burst the thing just as it comes near smite range (glares at mids that do that).

Since dragons HP shows you just need a fast reaction time of when to click "SMITE"

you dont need anything fancy. Get ur reaction time to 200Ms
