You can smite champions?

Okay, i'm really really confused over this new AP Ezreal mid with smite meta. Because one of my friends that has played LoL longer than me told me smite doesn't work on champions, but obviously it must if Ezreals are taking it mid. Which leads to my next question- why just Ezreal? If you could smite champions, why doesn't anybody else take it?

I might suggest reading patch notes every now and then, especially when a new season starts. I guess you don't jungle much.

There are now multiple "smites" you can upgrade to, and some of them work on champions (in exchange for having less useful effects when used on monsters). One deals damage to champs, one slows them.

To answer your other question -- no, it's not just Ez. Running a tanky toplaner with Smite and the Cinderhulk jungle item has been a "thing" for a while. The previous AP-oriented jungler item would not have been very good for laning, but Runeglaive is good on some midlaners.
