This thing --> item 3711

Am I the only one who buys it on a Jungler Fighter? (Jax in my case) Am I the only one who thinks it is clearly as good as the 3 other Items?

I seen many threads about it, calling it weak, predictable because people will know you will counter jungle, so they will waste wards of defense. But, with a couple of Pink Wards and Raptor buff to delete those wards, didn't you just... helped your team by intensifying the fog of war, and making pressure all around in the map. People get so afraid of you ganking from their own jungle. + The Extra gold on Smite make it easy to buy more wards and snowball the game?

Of course you won't take it on a weak dueling potential champ like Amumu ! But without help, most junglers can't defend against strong Jax with a item 3078.

Maybe I'm just a filthy casual too. This is why I'm creating this discussion. I want to know what people think of it! summoner 13

Not my cup of tea soley because the enemy will begin warding due to knowledge that you have that item. Also if your team can't collapse fast enough you may be boned haha

Counter Jungling typically requires your laners to push their lane against their opponents. Cause if they don't they will collapse on you in the enemy Jungle. This is the main reason why I don't do Poacher's knife. Also it's practically useless if the enemy get's majorly ahead because you wouldn't even be able to get into the enemy Jungle.

Now if your Laners do Cover you and push their lanes. The enemy would have to chose between collapsing on you and loosing a lot of farm or possibly a tower, or holding their lane.

Really good on Trundle Nunu Udyr and a lot of other in-your-face junglers :)
