oldschool smite was "walk-smite". just walk towards enemy and smite. but its pretty boring and is item laming only, better items win this. with smite/charge you need some gameplay skills and are also able to win vs opponents who got slightly better equipment. and its by far more exciting.
imo charge should be still allowed, its just a matter of your gamestyle and gameplay skills.
and why ban such items as highlords or 32020s? u can use them yourself too, so i dont see any sense in this. i agree that its annoying to loose by an enemy who mainly uses charge to deal the damage and just use smite as secondary attack, but well there are ways to take care of those. i won the most matches vs hector even tho i did not use charge as primary damage source.
