Pretty sure TJ uses his dupes to counter his smites. I pretty much just do it at random, and I think it's silly that anyone really cares about their score. Frankly I'm disappointed that mine isn't lower. It also just goes to show that some people just applaud someone because they saw that they got a smite, and visa-versa. I think you should actually have to earn your applause/smite. Like you get applause for saving a baby from a burning building, or you get smite for saving a building from a burning baby.
