Poachers knife idea

So we can all agree that this item is basically a noob trap, so let's give ideas to change it in a way that it buffs it

For starters we would remove the speed boost effect and bonus gold

Smite range is increased by 1000 range and deals 10% more damage (for the monster steals)

Poachers knife now also works like sight stone in a charged based ward system, but with a catch

Poachers ward, visiting the fountain will give you one ward if you have no poacher ward stacks (up to 3) killing an enemy junglers big monsters grants one poachers ward stack

What does this mean, the power of this item is shutting down an enemies gank potential by getting vision, the item will make sure you always get one ward per back if at 0 but stealing the enemy junglers jungle makes you able to pump out vision to prevent the roaming ganks, the jungler ganks, and to make stealing the enemy jungle easier

Why is this balanced? It gives no in combat benefit to smite, but offers greater objective control, it only provides a good number of wards if you are actively invading the enemy jungle, otherwise it's 1 ward per back, the enemy team can counter this by protecting their jungle, it's benefit is it's a sight stone for a jungler, making it a great item for a Chopion like Nunu who is great at dominating jungle camps, letting him help his team with constant vision while he shuts down the enemies jungle

If the item is to good they can make it a 10 charge system that takes 3 charges to place a ward or they could make poacher wards (instead of vision wards) and make them visible with 5 hp, so the enemy can remove the vision, but he will still be seen

But as it is, this item benefit SUCKS and needs to be remade

I think they need to figure out what they really want the knife to do. Right now, Devourer is basically eating the entire purpose of the poacher's knife for lunch. Junglers will invade the opponent's jungle not only for the normal objective control, but also new stacks for devourer.

I could see them using Poacher's Knife to extend/empower the buffs that a jungler would normally get, as long as they were stolen from the opposing jungle. Such as Stolen Golem buff procs on both Champions and Towers Stolen Chicken Buff is straight up Oracle's for a period of time, not just the Razor Sense Stolen Gromp Doubles the power Stolen Wolves increases the duration of the wisp, or makes it wander around like a Kalista Sentinel, or both.

That is the purpose of this thread, to give reasonable ideas to make it work
