Incentive to Counter Jungle

A new jungle camp should be introduced with very unique mechanics to motivate junglers to invade the enemy. There will be an egg somewhere in the jungle that is only targetable by an enemy with smite, and if it is not killed before a certain time, a monster will spawn that is only targetable by an ally with smite, and gives an above decent, non-transferable buff.

It may sound strange, but I was inspired by the oddity that is the Rift Herald. It is a very specific monster that should only be prioritized at very specific times. There is strategy to taking any of the epic monsters. This will be in between those and regular monsters. I feel that this would add such interesting and strange tactics to protect the egg and to secure the buff.

honestly counter jungling isn't encouraged unless you have a vastly superior clear time that you can clear both your jungle sides and then counterjungle so the enemy jungler doesn't basically go to the inverse side of the jungle and counter jungle you as well with no risks.

That and I could be wrong but last I heard Riot doesn't like counter jungling because it removes a player from the game. Of course though this changes back and forth, and I heard this before Kindred's release. The champion designed around counter jungling. Maybe Riot likes it that only certain champions are allowed to counter jungle.
