If players are expected to be responsible enough to have stable internet and set aside time to play without leaving the game, then you can spend 2 seconds and check your fcking summoner spells before going into a match. I've had 3 games in the last 2 days with smiteless junglers and we of course had no chance to win.
I know players get autofilled and I've never flamed a jungler for missing smite. But not bringing it?
No excuse.
UnboundHades3 votesthere is currently a bug where it shows you swapped your summoners but it doesn't actually swap them don't know what causes it tho

Enforcing the meta, I guess? Is it really "enforcing the meta" when 100% of jungle items REQUIRE SMITE TO BUY? And you have a SIGNIFICANT exp disadvantage when you don't get them? And that's apart from guaranteeing the loss of every single monster objective. Yeah, no. That's like saying "wtf you're meta enforcing because at least 1 of us has to use a lane instead of 5 man jungling." No shit.
Amasa Delano1 votesI mean, if someone thinks they can do better in the jungle without smite, I want them to be allowed to try, especially if they are trying to win with their new strategy and not trolling/inting/etc. In my opinion, it probably won't go well, but what do I know? "One person spending all their time in the jungle" was originally a new, unusual strategy. I just think people should be allowed to try things if they really want to.
To be clear, I think forgetting to take smite is not a good thing, if you intended to take it. But requiring junglers to take it doesn't seem good either. Ideally, the client would just give them a friendly reminder or something.

And I won a 4v5 once. That doesn't mean it's okay to put your team at a huge disadvantage because you're too lazy to get off alt+tab and check your damn sums.
This Is Your Dad1 votesSometimes I change it but it doesn't register or something, sometimes I was too busy checking masteries and runes. Most of the time it happens when I get autofilled support and then someone dodges and I go back to getting jungle and for some reason I have a tough time with that scenario.
Applenoop21 votesI've made that mistake before and i would just dc so my team could remake because that game isnt even worth anyones time
Thuban1 votesSlow down Rambo, it's also a bug with the new client. Spells will revert to what you had previously even if you change them.
Anomander1 votesConsidering the three smites now available and the effects that they have. I can see no justification to not have smite on a jungle.
The only Summoner skill that some could argue for would be Teleport.....However if teleport would out weigh your smite in the jungle you should probably take TP smite. As the current utility and bonuses that the the smite options gives out weighs even flash.
Having said this there is a bug with swapping summoners.
