Poacher's Knife Needs to be Buffed

Well to be honest whenever the new season 5 jungle came out, many of the new jungle items were found to be useful in their own special ways. Some allowing for stronger ganks while others allowed for better dueling. but from the 4 new items one stood out as "useless." Poacher's Knife item 3711 . Used for counter jungling, Poachers knife grants you simply, bonus gold, a speed boost, and a cool down reduction. But no one seems to use it, it has been found to be completely useless. In my opinion I find that Poacher's Knife would be more effective with some small buffs which could include something like a small amount of vision is showed around you when you smite which would allow you to see if the enemy jungler is nearby, or it could have some kind of change that would increase the duration of the buffs from stolen camps or such that were smited using Poacher's knife. If you have any ideas please comment below and maybe this will be seen by the right people.

I'm a little weary on the Idea. Poacher's knife might be a Knife's edge (no pun intended) in balancing. It might not take much to push it over the edge.

I heard a lot of complaints of people trying to counter Jungle, and still getting out leveled. I have no Idea how monster levels apply to xp gain in the Jungle. They could look at Jungle XP or go the more direct rout and add an XP bonus as well to the poacher passive.

What if they made it so you gained increased XP from stolen camps? Not a Drastic amount but slightly increased that way your journey to get to the camps isn't time wasted and you get some sort of benefit besides putting them slightly behind.
