Matchup plan

When Smolder takes Fleet Footwork, you can take Electrocute to trade frequently and gain advantage through burst. If you're behind, take Ignite to improve lane safety and recover through trades. Items like Hextech Rocketbelt, Rod of Ages, Liandry's Torment, Rylai's Crystal Scepter, and Horizon Focus are still viable. If you win lane, otherwise you may lack mana and damage. Storm Surge significantly boosts burst damage, good for proccing in trades.
