since no one else seems to be addressing it...

I feel like getting rid of Smite would make it so that ONLY burst junglers are viable, and make some slower junglers just completely useless because it'd be THAT MUCH easier to invade them and kill them (Removing Smite would make their route slower, which in turn would cause them to take more damage, which will at best make them easier to invade/kill and at worst make them unable to finish the route).

Like, Smite existed before Smite Buffs, and was taken all the time then, too, so it's not like it was some kind of useless thing before.
