Smite isn't as useless as people seem to think it is in lane. Sure, all other spells are better, but ITS NOT USELESS if you use it smartly.

-It applies Spell Vamp for a 200-500 heal every minute

-If pushed against your turret you can use it on the turret's target to force it to change target. If paired with an AoE spell to clear small minions you can get a free turret shot against a careless champ

-Free gold and guaranteed last-hit

-The obvious intended use of pushing. (whether this is good or not is situational)
