Dear Junglers

woobee··18 votes·1,696 views

Purple Smite's health and mana return from smiting DOES NOT HAPPEN WHEN YOU SMITE MINIONS. So stop coming into my lane with low health then smite, push and steal half a minion wave to "heal yourself". It doesn't work.

Sometimes we come into lane and do this because we recognize something you dont; it's time to be pushing. My laners hate it but I'm not letting your enemy laner back or roam for free just because you want to last hit.

I need that gold friend. We all do. In taking even a small bit of our farm, you could be potentially putting us back in gold to the point where we might be near equal to the enemy who just either died or left the lane. Also, when you say we don't recognize that it is time to push, I seem to see a lot of you jungler types coming in, smiting and stealing a wave, then leaving before I even get to the tower. We need to be pushing huh? That is exactly what I was trying to do.

You seem like a jungler who takes control and makes the decisions. I like you. This post is directed at junglers who smite my wave to try and heal themselves, but I understand if you didn't catch that part.

If you responded to my question of why you smited my lane with yours, I would (reluctantly) understand and try to cooperate. But if you respond with "trying to heal, purple smite duh", you gonna get some shit.

Dear Laner

I'm playing jungle Akali, smiting your wave actually heals me up quite a lot.

Dear idiot

Don't play jungle Akali, your team wants to win.

Also goes to people bringing Smite Ezreal mid without knowing the first thing of why this item was built in LCS. They could have just gone item 3716 item 3708 as these items help out more in terms of needing CC or dueling purposes.

Well that's what I thought at first, but I thought about it and realized that the purple smite helped clear waves faster, allowing an ap Ezreal, with terrible waveclear, to push his lane without ult or runeglaive to help.

I kind of feel like it depends on the level of play. As a gold player, I don't ever see someone's lack of wave clear being a problem aside from getting shoved in in lane... which keeps people safe and allows their jungler to punish. So certainly if I were to take Ezreal mid I'd go with item 3716.

Less roaming, possible lost farm from tower damage, enemy can harass/poke you if you try to farm, so it's farm and get damaged or avoid both damage and farm.

Is this crap starting up again? The "Dear role.." posts? Really?

As a jungler, I agree with this post. It doesn't work.

Congrats, you received 4% of your health from smiting one minion and damaging the rest to half.

I know...but sometimes I like to do it to help push the lane and I have an extra charge.
