You didnt notice until the game started, so you told us you would afk for us and let us remake. I appreciate that you would take responsibility for that. and let us get into a fair game. Thank you for biting the bullet
That's very kind of that jungler, I hope he didn't get in too much trouble.
That jungler is the real MVP
RUN IT DOWN MID BOIIIIIIIIIIIS
No. we duo top
Very cool indeed, but what would actually be better is that Riot Games think about what they do before implementing it. I did forget smite once, and I told myself "meh, let's try it anyway, it'll be slow, but we might have a chance". But oh god how wrong was I. Without smite, you can't do anything. I was Nidalee (yes I know, it's probably the worst jungle without smite, but still), and the frog didn't give me level 2 because I didn't have the bonus XP and after that, I simply couldn't do wolves. I _couldn't _do it, with full life and pots.
Where am I going with this? A game designer should make sure something like this does not happen. If you make the game unplayable and unenjoyable for 10 players for 20 minutes if you forget something, you shouldn't be _able _to forget it.
It's impossible to play jungle without smite, so why isn't smite locked when you are jungle? Because then people wouldn't be able to change roles? Make it so we can trade roles? How hard is it to think about such trivial game designing, and it's not like it's hard, programming-wise to implement such a simple feature? Or is it that the code behind the game is so terrible that it actually is hard?
Riot never ceases to amaze with their blatant lack of game designing skills.
top lane didn't take 
- remake
support didnt take 
- remake
mid and bot didn't take 
- remake
I never thought of doing this when I botched a skill setup. I'll remember to do this next time (because it happens to everyone sometimes).
Thanks for showing me a way where nobody gets hurt and a fair game can still be played for everyone. :)
Wait how did the player tell you though? If he told you that he would AFK since he forgot smite you must've been using a 3rd party chat system right? Remake only works if the player never connects, so he had to have purposely exited during the loading screen after he realized he forgot it, but that gives him 0 time to tell you that he will AFK because of it.
I may have a different opinion compared to most, but you should have taken the potential loss rather than have him AFK. It was his choice, but he probably did it thinking that you guys wouldn't be mad at him or blame him for a loss. However, you guys should have taken the loss and the loss of LP instead of having him AFK because he lost all of his ranked rewards from past seasons, plus he lost the opportunity to get rewards this season, plus he lost a massive amount of LP, and he got placed in a low priority queue for a high amount of games.
Though I respect him for making the choice, he should have just played the game regardless. He would've had less of a loss.
I don't know man. In 2-0 in ranked while jungling without smite. Granted it helped that I was playing Zac, who will always have about 30% hp thanks to his passive. Even saved the adc with the unexpected heal once.
It also helped that one game their jungler forgot smite too
Once my duo forgot smite. He was Jax. We won thet game
Summoner should be placed in the Hall of Honor (as if RIOT had one XD)
hate when i try this but my botlane gives fb in 2 mins bcause we got invaded. i mean i was the jgler afk'ing for the remake. why u in the jg...
I need to try this sometime...
I remember the pretty same thing... one guy declined to play from the start and went afk with "PFF NEWBS GO REMAKE I"M OUTTA HERE" and then... ofc there was no remake option [slayer-jinx-unamused]
You could in theory put his name. Shouldn't count as name and shame due to the nature of the post.
I went 8/0 as Quinn Jungle without smite...you never know what could happen.
I serously can't believe there's not a system in place to prevent this. It has happened so many times and I've lost games due to this.
