Smite Ahri Mid in League Classic

I've been testing smite as a mid lane summ in classic. Scarra mentioned after his classic stage game that ezreal mid used to take smite back in the day. I don't know if this is 100% true, atleast in terms of if it was the most played summ for ezreal mid second to flash, but it should be considered as an option now for mid nonetheless. There are a few reasons why smite in mid makes sense. I may make a separate video on this, but I'll give my rundown: 1. Lane Control - You get access to level up timers you wouldn't have otherwise. It helps you crash waves more quickly. Certain champs can use smite to hit skillshots through waves, like charm. Lee Q as another example. 2. Jungle Camps - You get access to taking jungle camps much faster as well as being able to steal smite vs. smite. I think it also just feels very good to build jungle item and start farming the entire map. 3. Double Smite - Your team has two smites for dragon/baron. Similar to how Unsealed Spellbook gives access to double smite on live patch, except that it's quite nerfed. In classic the smite in mid scales equally with smite in jungle. If anything, it actually scales better due to minion exp. I'll leave it at that for now! Thanks for watching/reading! I stream on Twitch! 👇   / dewey_lol   #leagueoflegends
