Poachers knife buff ideas

Poacher's knife right now is pretty trash and i feel the position the item is in isn't being addressed. I feel some changes which could at least make it viable are:

  1. Give increased gold and experience when smite is used and kills a large monster in enemy jungle
  2. Give a gold generating mechanic like conservation stacks which are consumed with an enemy large monster killed with smite.
  3. Give a gold generating mechanic similar to Draven passive where stacks are gained with enemy large monsters killed and consumed on champion kill/assist
  4. Smiting enemy large monsters provides vision over camp area similar to scuttle crab vision.
  5. Making large monsters hold more experience
  6. providing increased damage on scavenging smite

The position of poacher's knife and counterjungling in general right now is very unrewarding and while the issue might seem complicated a change within the jungle should be presented.

Slight change on number 4 that I prefer:

Smite the camp. When that camp respawns, you can see what it sees for a given amount of time.

The pros is that this behaves differently than a ward. If someone agros the camp and drags it into a bush, you'll see in that bush. Plus it gives vision in an area you might have been denied for a while.
