Warrior Enchant Item Sot Efficiency

So the warrior enchant on all jungle items was recently changed, and I am questioning whether it was a good change or not... All it really gives (other than jungle specific things) is 60 AD and 10% CDR.

Comparatively to other AD/CDR endgame items, this is rather weak statistically, and the jungle specific things are pretty useless late game, as well as the smite enhances not being very strong either (except MAYBE challenging even after its constant nerfs) gives 5 more AD, 20% crit, triple the CDR, and has mana return. gives 5 less AD but double the CDR, 300 hp, armor shred, and a speed boost. gives 5 more AD and the anti-burst passive as well as the physical spell vamp. gives 5 more AD, 20 armor pen, and the amazing active.

If I do choose not to skip Warrior entirely, I still replace it once I have the money for any of these much better alternatives.

I've rarely used it since all the changes that kept hitting it. I still find it to be the worst of the jg items, there's just so much more that could be done with it.

And that is an intended function of the item. The purpose of the warrior enchant jungle item is to allow you access to a large amount of early game power. As it is right now it is an incredibly gold efficient item - if you look, the cost of Warrior is only 2625g. Every other item on your list is 3000+.

Having access to that much AD so early is what gives early game junglers an edge over (or allows them to keep up with) laners.

I don't know what Riot's stance is on selling your jungle item at full build, but I don't have that much of a problem with it. How often do junglers reach full build anyway?

In the early and mid game warrior's jungle-specific bonuses are quite useful for junglers, and it's also cheaper than completed non-role-specific items. Especially since it also builds out of your starting item, which unless you're going to start jungling with a longsword, the other items you compared it to don't.
