For what reason exactly isn't Riot buffing Poacher's Knife in some way?

I think it's very safe to say that after 17 patches, the least touched on jungle item has been pretty damn weak. And although as a jungler I've loved Riot's strides to provide more diversity in a role that has always been dominated by a certain role in every meta besides today's I think the "counter-jungle smite" shouldn't be ignored, especially now that the enchantment it goes hand in hand with (item 3722 ) has become very strong I think the two of them should become more viable together. If a rioter who works on gameplay balancing and the like could inform me on why Poacher's Knife doesn't seem to be getting buffs or changes anytime soon I would greatly appreciate it.

Riot has said they are aware of how trash counterjungling and poachers is, but they also implied that whatever changes they have in mind are going to have potentially drastic effects, and it's hence not something they want to throw in 1 patch before worlds. Wait until pre-season stuff is announced.
