He's always been a good jungler with a surprisingly decent clear time, almost infinite sustain, decent ganking potential and crazy map coverage. Whereas, his lane presence is actually pretty lackluster with no real ways to be threatening to most of the top lane roster.

The Smite options will make his ganks even more successful and help remedy the problem of his somewhat weak CC. I suppose we'll see a lot of Chilling Smite or perhaps Challenging Smite, not so much Blasting or Scavenging.

His main niche will be his map coverage again, which is arguably even more important in this season than the previous because getting Dragons and Scuttle Crabs are very important objectives.
