Change the Smite sound effect back
Can we get smite's sound effect reverted? I noticed that I could hardly hear it when I or the enemy jungler used it. Smite's sound effect was amazing before and doesn't even seem to be present currently.

Thanks for the feedback The Archive!
We haven't made any changes the main Smite sound recently. We've added a few new smaller sounds for the new Smite item upgrades for the 2015 season changes to help communicate game-play information, but the core Smite sound has stayed consistent. I wonder if these items are bugged?
Was this just the normal Smite summoner spell? or one of the item upgraded Smite items available now?
When did you start noticing this?
Any additional info you can provide would be helpful when looking into this.
The Archive2 votesI noticed this yesterday, first time I had played with the new patch out. I had the Stalker's Blade and it's upgraded smite.
The Archive4 votesAfter doing some of my own testing, I have found that
With Stalker's Blade:
-
Smite becomes quieter overall regardless of what you smite and whether you last hit with it or begin with it.
-
Smite has a different sound effect when using it on champions (starts off normally and then has a rumble past the normal duration of the sound effect). Also quiet.
With Poacher's Knife:
-
Quieter regardless of camp (as Stalker's)
-
Possibly a louder, different sound effect on a kill in the enemy jungle; could have just been Gromp. Didn't test more than one camp due to forgetfulness.
With Skirmisher's Sabre:
-
Once again, quieter regardless of camp (as Stalker's)
-
Same sound effect on champions
With Ranger's Trailblazer
- Quieter (as Stalker's)
Without any items/With Hunter's Machete:
- Smite sounds the same as before the patch
In addition, I was playing Shyvana for both the above testing and when I noticed the difference.

Thanks for the awesome detailed write-up! This is super helpful!
The Archive1 votesNo problem! Happy to help make sure Smite sounds as great as it did before!
