well at least in our vlld playing circle we considered a crushflang in combination with smite as bm due to following reasons:
smite itself got a natural kb already so there'll be constant kb + stun (no fun ioo)
smite + crushflang = izi ow since smite never fails to hit so presmiting ow + double kb (if u want to call it like that) sucks pretty much and ain't fun at all in toe to toe.
thats why.
first of all, there is no such thing as double kb. you either get knocked back (kb) or not (no kb)
Second, crushflang doesn't have any % open wounds on it (ow), it does have ~30ish % chrushing blow (cb, don't mix it up with kb els you'd get tripple kb).
So 1 out of 3-4 smites will trigger cb. which is fair concidering the damage of smite being almost zero. You simply can't kill someone with just smite because cb will get less effective and will only take away a % of life and doesn't posses any hard damage.
its already stated that this build is not used for vlld melee leagues and is ment to have fun vs any char in an open game or at a non restricted league.
