Like, why. Literally no one builds it.
Not even 
SquishyArchon10 votesThey can't do that because that would involve Riot admitting they created a useless item from lack of properly playtesting their game as per usual.
LOL Spammer1 voteshttp://leagueoflegends.wikia.com/wiki/Removed_items ^ Riot admitting they fucked up.
Delioth4 votesI mean, it's worth it when I was against an Elise a patch or two ago as Sion. I decided at the beginning of the game that I was just farming her jungle.
And I did.
And I got so much gold from the poacher's as well as the several kills on elise in her own jungle that I didn't even farm my jungle.
No-one expects Sion's ult to come from THEIR side of the map.
Axis the Dragon7 votesThat actually sounds terrifying
Only Play Darius5 votesBecause back then Elise was a garbage-tier pushover. Try farming her jungle now and see what happens.
Roaranor1 votesThe same thing because her 1v1 from >50% is terrible unless she's ahead, and the only thing Riot really gave her was a buff to her already strong clears so farming is noob friendly now.
Delioth1 votesI mean... Elise hasn't gotten any buffs and it was level 3... so she'd still be screwed and then really far behind.
AtheosisX2 votesBetter yet, please rework it ASAP.
Crowe Stalker1 votesThey are going to rework it in Pre-Season 6.

I'm not a fan of devouer. I prefer Cinder. Poacher is definitely the wrong choice though.
Diananmen Square2 votesI gotta say, It's quite funny when I see the enemy Shyvana with Poacher's Knife to have 0 gold stolen from the enemy jungle.

Clearly you've never made an enemy jungler ragequit.
, when you know for sure that the enemy jungler is afk. I mean, you'd probably win anyway, cause 4v5, but 
does accelerate that a good bit...Unless it's a 4v4, with say...ally adc afk, and enemy jungle afk, then, poachers could actually be legit way to win.
Rebonack2 votesRework it into the farming jungle item.
Make its effects work on both sides of the jungle.
Done and done.
Blkninjar872 votesWait the red one gives u a broken true damage dot with vision on the enemy.
The blue one gives a strong true damage and saps the enemies move speed..
The purple one increases sustain and stuns monsters and reduces smite CD.
And for some reason ALL poachers does is give u some shitty ass move speed buff oafter killing the main large monster only and 30 gold? LIKE I wonder who came up with that fabulous idea!
How about poacher's knife actually make it so u kill enemy's jungle faster.... Maybe heal for the damage of the smite,and increased duration on the fucking buffs. Cause lets face it, move speed and 30 gold ain't helping me counter jungle anything. The fact that that's all they could come up with is kinda disturbing~ and free watds on a counter jg item would be nice cause... U know u kinda don't wanna counter jg without vision.. Maybe that's what the extra 20-30 gold was for.. Investments into wards! What a joke of an item.
Also I don't understand riot they said they would fix poachers but instead were more interested in making devourer broken. Like can riot ever ffix the useless crap before they break the crap that didn't need fixing.
arc951 votesbut its so trolly and fun... nothing is better than drive by buff steals because of its speed boost XD
Ticklish Tas1 votes{quoted} Junglers who are recommended it but don't use it
who are you to judge it's an item dependent on playstyle, not necessarily the champion
Anidan5 votesEven then, isn't the playstyle better met with Ranger's Trailblazer which gives you sustain going through their jungle and an AoE smite to steal faster?
Or Challenging Smite so you can duel the enemy jungler every day of the week?
Jungle Lux God2 votesIt's an item dependent on a playstyle, but it doesn't do it's job well enough to account for the risks compared to the other three items, not to mention it punishes you in the mid-game for trying to counterjungle.
If counterjungling was a viable playstyle, this item would not make it better.
RottedApples1 votesIt was recommended on shyvana. i don't know if it still is though.
High51 votesYeah, it's a pretty bad item. Essence Reaver needs to be removed too.
Lowvyr4 votes
Thresh Outta Fux1 votesYeah, it's a pretty bad item. Essence Reaver needs to be removed too.
Not ER. All ER needs is a 2nd tier item that applies it's passive at a lower efficiency/gold cost. But ER+Skarner? Heheheh...
Chespin20131 votesEither just rework the item or just remove it entirely since its not worth over 
Xietnin1 votes You can't tell me what to do when the jungler is off ganking and not charging up Devourer.
CoolKnightST1 votesTheir where a lot of suggestions that could make more viable:
#Other ideas:
& give it to . Now stuns only the targetted monster for 2 seconds.
Dr Poro6 votesI don't want to be viable. Getting counter jungled is a pain in the ass. You can spam ping on the enemy who is in your jungle all you want, you can ask your laners to ward their entrances, but (even at plat 1) people in soloQ often don't listen. Then you are 0/4/0 at minute 15 and they start waking up "wow our jungler sucks" "wtf so useless" "why is their jungler so fed?"
MAN OF INTELLECT1 votesShaco becomes God-Tier in one fell swoop.
CoolKnightST1 votesTheir are 3 jungle playstyles in this game:
The gank junglers like 
focus on ganking and heavy dominate the Farming playstyle. While they struggle again the controle playstyle with counterganks & vision over your jungle. When the gank meta is dominated. Games tend to be finished quit quickly.
The farm junglers like focus on farming and entirely rely on outscaling in the lategame.
The controle junglers like trying to slow down the game by controle vision & punish the enemy jungler by taking their camp, counterganking. Overal a controle jungler can compleetly shut a gank jungler down & still outscale him.
Now with the items:
an item that is many focussed on ganking. Jungler can use this to make their ganking a little bit easyer. an item that is foccused on dueling. an item that is foccused on farming, waveclear & sustain. the item focussed on counterjunglingI think the real question whe should ask ourself. Can replace the counter jungle function that currently provides.
Budupops1 votesIt already does
Jungle Lux God1 votesThat list of champions recommended it is bizarre.
If it was a list of champions that are known to be good counterjunglers (or even meta junglers in the case or Irelia and Jax), then it would make a lot of sense, as the item was designed to be good for counterjungling.
At least half of those junglers are not good at counterjungling. I know Nunu and Shyvanna are known to be good counterjunglers, but most of the other champions aren't good counterjunglers (please correct me if I'm wrong about the other champions though, I don't play everyone), so it would make sense for them to have it.
I definitely agree that Poacher's Knife should be removed from recommended item builds. It's just so useless at everything except something too risky to do consistently that it should be removed until it gets reworked, as the only time this item could possibly be good is if it was completely broken.
TotalJerk1 votesI've said before that it isn't necessarily a noob trap because if you don't know why it's bad, you're probably at the MMR when your opponent doesn't, either. It's still bad in that case though because noobs neither can nor will counterjungle.
alfavhunter1 votesThe solution should be this
Change the item from giving extra gold to giving the jungle item an on use effect to place wards
Example
Killing the enemies large jungle monster with smite now gives you one charge of jungle sight up to 3 and going to your fountain will grant you one charge of jungle sight of you are at 0 stacks
You can use one charge of jungle sight to put a vision ward down (basically it's a jungler version of sight stone)
This gives more map vision and can be beneficial to your team by being better at shutting down the enemy jungler from preventing him from farming and ganking
