Jinx smite... Pretty frickan fun

Ok, so long story short, i accidentally ran smite on jinx once, and instead of just taking the smite and leaving it for just for lane utility, i decided to get the red smite item early on, before starting my average jinx build. I found that in early duels, i was able to take the superior trade and nearly all trades, due to the increased true damage, vision, and 20% damage reduction, when used on the enemy adc. Later in teamfights, when i picked a target to focus, generally the other carries, i would smite them, and just shred that target quicker than i could without the smite. The best part is the smite is a much shorter cd, and can be used 3-4 times to the use of 1 exhaust (support runs heal instead of exhaust). I wanted to try this again, as i did quite well that game, and found i had similar results, despite a loss. Time and time again red smite works on jinx, and is very fun to play with. I hope some of you try it sometime, but the ragers, dont even bother arguing with me please. I deal with it enough in game.

Well this would technically work on any ADC, but that is besides the point.

But thinking about it, I'm really warming up to the idea of it. Level one crugs/gromp would be easier. More objective control in the later game. Run Chilling Smite as an extra safety net, Blasting Smite on a low wave clear ADC, Challenging Smite when you can outright murder anyone. (I don't know what the white smite is called, but no one uses it anways)

Those jungle items do have crazy inflated gold efficiency, but I don't know if they're strong enough to justify lategame.

Honestly it might be if you are the person to run Youmuu's on an ADC, probably could swap it out. Unless you are the greedy type and go devourer's. Which probably wouldn't be a bad idea with Challenging Smite.

hard to say, but I'd certainly be curious to see some theorycrafting on it.

Hopefully you should not need to hit lategame. But if you do, i get devourers

The only thing that i thought would be a problem with is that you have to get in range. Then i saw that its only a 25 difference. I think i'll just try it sometime for fun!
