As it is, devourer is subpar. What if, to fix it, stacks started counting when you first got machete? if you got a different jungle item it would get rid of that count, but I think that simple change would make devourer on par with the other items.

jg is one of my favorite jgs and i always rush devourer if this would actualy happen that would mean i would go botrk first or bloodthirster
ArkenStorm1 votesthats the thing, it wouldnt require it to be rush this item first, if you were in a bad spot you could get something else you needed.
3tyson1 votesi also feel like devourer isnt that great but it stil seems like the enchantment to go for on twitch somehow i have had better succes with 
than 
wich is plain out stupid since seems perfect for twitch
ArkenStorm1 votesProbably since you need to be in range for smite, and playing twitch jungle the stun, health and mana restore would be useful. Also twitch jungle may be another thing tho :P
khorney1 votesthe problem wiht devourer is you need to rush it asap becuase you need the stacks. unlike the other jungle items which you really do not need to rush straight for.
ArkenStorm1 votesThat's what I just said, that's the point of the post.
3tyson1 votesbut twitch goes invis for a long time giving you enough time to get a right position when ganking so getting into smite position isnt the problem i think the stun / hp regen on is superior because it sets you up with allot more hp for a gank better and faster clearing cause not only do you have the aoe damage/stun but also you actualy be using smite instead of keeping it for your gank
i know verry litle people will agree with me but as a jg main i feel like the best 2 smite buffs are 
these 2
the mana/hp regen aoe damage and stun on purple smite might be superior to anny smite it sets you up for better ganks overal and better clear/ its also more save in your jungle
the white smite while lacking on this allows you to take away the entire enemy jungle in a much faster time than your own so basicly you are putting back the enemy jg and getting yourself more gold since smite will have a 10/8 second cooldown in enemy jungle i think
than there is 
it has a nice slow but a slow might mean the difference between a kil and no kil especialy on junglers like 
but honestly its just making you clear jungle slower compared to the other 2 cause you will be saving your smite taking more dmg from monsters for a not so great soft cc overal
and there is 
wich is even more situational
the thing with is when you lose map control its the most worthles item in game
where is good for almost anny situation...
