One of the better tricks you dont typically think of!
Hear me out on this one
Spellvamp + Smite
Champions with built in spellvamp - LeeSin, Akali, Morgana, Ryze Works on any champion besides these 4 who build spellvamp in their kits
Why is smite + spell vamp so good Ifrit?
Well that's fairly simple with some simple math using level 18 stats as an easy reference
Summoner heal is up every 210 seconds and heals for 345 HP
Smite deals 1000 TRUE damage and is up every 40 seconds
With only 10% spellvamp ( you will more often have more than this ), at 200 seconds you can technically smite a minion or jungle mob 5 times in the amount of time you can use 1 summoner heal.
The difference in your total sustained heal over that timeframe is Summoner heal - 345 HP Smite - 500 HP ( you get 100 hp at 10% spellvamp every time you smite )
As you can see just from the math, you get more overall heals from smite with spellvamp
Other useful tricks with smite -
-
Fast leash for jungler ( start his buff with a smite to get him/her through their clear times faster ), if you are playing mid, you can also dip out of lane for 6 seconds, run down or up, and start your junglers next buff fight with a nice smite leash again, with its range and high damage, you wont lose any XP really, and your jungler will appreciate you that much more
-
It can be used while CC'ed which makes it perfect for those "OMG" moments, and unlike heal which has a long cooldown, you don't have to worry about burning smite every time you want it or need it since the cooldown is so short
-
Smite minions that your enemy like a jax or leesin is trying to jump to
-
Steal enemy buffs ( you sneaky little devil! ward an enemys red / blue, then when they aren't expecting it, go over and smite their buff to steal it!, it wont always work, but when it does, its so sweet )
Just remember, junglers aren't the only people who can make effective use of smite
There is no I in team! but there is an I in smite :-)
hope you enjoyed this little trick
