Do ANY junglers get hunter's potion?

So with new runes I wanted new things as I have been doing mostly Malphite Aatrox Udyr for a while. most of the stuff I have been up to being in the jungle with MonkeyKing Kindred (they are both free,but all honesty I forgot I owned both and forgot the existence of wu altogether)Amumu Vi and the one who me thinking,Ivern. so at some point somebody said "ivern does not scale well with all the jungle items,just get your special smite/ward item then build supportive items"
that saving about 1600G then I noticed hunters in the shop thinking "says you get a potion on jungle kill,but sounds great for ivern as I get an item 2031 anyway so it is 250G" and you DO still get the potion charge which BTW heals HP and mana,so with both ivern can just clear and sustain until something comes up,like let's say,your buffs again,or about 5K gold,or an Irelia with item 3078,or your item 3028 as with your jungle HP regen just makes you take less damage over time. but does anybody else build it? and I am referring to both champions and players. I remember when I first started I just took the thing in lane thinking of it as a item 2031 upgrade...yeah the last time I built it was like February or something from what I know when I started.

the issue is the item 2032 basically heals you for half of what item 2031 does yeah you have 5 counters instead of 2.. but the only thing it really gives is 35 mana.

isn't worth that price even remotely

if it have you 50 mana and 100 hp, plus a stack on a takedown.. then sure, it would be worth it.. but right now it isnt..

I used to, but not anymore. I don't think I've used a hunter's potion in months. It doesn't seem very gold efficient since a 150 gold refillable is enough sustain for me and getting a hunters potion delays my jungle item, boots, or a pink ward. I value those 3 items more than the hunters potion itself. I play amumu and he has bad sustain issues, but I do just fine.

sometimes i take it on Shaco, though i prefer a control ward and a health pot.

Hunters potion seems like it feels good. After your fist clear you don't need it anymore and it's way too much wasted gold.

If you're feeling desperate for sustain in the jungle to the point where you feel like you need hunter's potion.. You're doing something wrong.

Trust me.

i build item 2032 often on MonkeyKing . And its was very popular during Worlds.

It depend on what u want to do, what's your opponnent (an invader as lee, nida...), your lanes aren't stronger, ur pick is manavore...

I usually do on champs like kayn or ez if I can afford it on an early back. It really helps keep mana up when I don't have blue and to keep the gank train rolling.

The only one who should really take it is Udyr because of his mana problems without Blue. I see no need to buy it on a lot of other junglers. Amumu maybe? Kindred what. Ivern NEVER. With Ivern you rush Mobility boots, not that. You have enough mana regen with the jg item and health regen with refillable. You don't need more.
