I've used Poachers knife twice now

How come nobody chooses this item? The amount of gold you get is crazy.

First time was with Nunu jungle and after my first back (to get the poachers knife) every back after that was a full item. First I was able to fully buy RoA (and mobi boots) then I got frozen heart visage then liandries I always had so much gold when I backed.

Second time was with Udyr. I did the normal jungle route then killed a shen jungle that was soloing drag and took it myself. After that I went back and got poachers knife and cinderhulk item. I didn't go B for the rest of the game because we were so ahead. The enemy shen was so underleveled/outfarmed it's crazy. I ended the game with 7k unspent gold that's pretty impressive for me considering I had that much at the 20minute mark.

I don't get why people dont use it more often you get loaded with gold and it motivates people to counter jungle which nobody in my games seems to do..ever

Now imagine you lose map control cause, you know, the laners don't always win their lane

You now have a useless item

It works if Your that Far ahead. But I find it a bit too Unreliable, Particularly due to the fact that it telegraphs your intention to Counter Jungle. I typically Just go TrailBlazer if I Want to Counter Jungle, Because if it turns out that I can't, I still have good Clear speed with the Trailblazer.

Also, Even if you are able to deny the enemy Jungler, it's still at the sacrifice of Ganking power, so you Better hope you Laners can hold their own.

item 3720 is a great item people who say it isnt dont understand how fast you can take away the entire enemy jungle with this... the 20 gold seems like litle but than again you are not going to just take 1camp and leave you will be taking all

how ever your going to take more damage and have les sustain than when picking item 3724 these are 2 verry usefull things when counter jungling you are not going to want to be found with low hp...

having more hp and mana wil allow you to do more ganks and like already said if you do lose map controll this item will be 100% usseless

other words item 3724 is probertly the best smite for most junglers maybe some exceptions like fiddle/nunu

i do feel like a jungler like shaco takes allot advantage in poachers, since unlike most jgs hes able to counter jungle pretty save eaely game
