The effects of Poacher's Knife on powerfarming

pick fast semi tank jungler with good clear (yi could work but cc screws him over too hard)
rush and as fast as humanly possible then get these
whenever you see enemy jungler attempt to gank rush to enemy jungle and steal both camps from whatever side you are closest too.
If lane tries to stop you just run away from them with retarded speed boost and your retarded innate speed
try to stay in jungle farming as much as possible dont gank lanes at all
If enemy jungler tries to stop you duel him because he will be a level or two under you and you will have insane damage
Build tank() after this because your clears will still be lightning fast and no way enemy jungle can burst you down
if they try to ward against you just clear the ward because you should have birdie ward vision 24/7 and be able to clear it and get out with speed
try to have all your camps cleared and at least one side of enemy jungle cleared at all times
Enemy jungler wont be nearly as strong as you are( maybe if his ganks work out, but he still will be way under lvled compared to you unless he takes lane farm which laners deff wont let him
Full build should look like last item could be or
Finish game with most gold in entire game and able to duel anyone

people be sleeping on poachers knife. With the huge re spawn time of camps if you steal the camps to any slower jungler they will nearly always fall behind with no way to keep lvls up. The benefit isnt even the money it is the fact that you can clear their camps before the enemy team can react(always try to take both camps because no one can catch you anyway and even if they did if its 1v1 you could take them and if its 1v3 then you can speed away from them easily.

Yeah, I tried it...

The enemy laner ganked all 3 lanes successfully for some reason, and in the end after stealing 6 of the enemy camps, I get the enemy jungler one level above me with all three lanes screaming at me to gank...

What Rank are you because there should be no way the enemy jungler out levels you ever, he should have 1/2 as much cs as you at all times

The only time I'd try that is if I was playing a Jungler who basically can't gank, (such as Udyr), The only other time I would otherwise counter Jungle is if all my lanes are pushed and their isn't a gank available. Though this would mean that I wouldn't get Poacher's knife, because I can't rely on Counter Jungling. Though When I do go to Counter Jungle, I will tend to ward River, (or take scuttle crab) because This will provide some vision of the river if the enemy Jungler is is coming to flank me, or to gank a lane.

the thing im trying to say is if the jungler does gank he will fall behind in lvls if he doesnt get the kill, and if he tries to go back to his jungle he will have nothing to farm and fall behind even more which if you did see him you would instant gib him in jungle and if the lanes try and stop you poacher knife speed boost will save you 99% of the time. Udyr and Shyvana can literally 1v1 duel anyone ,so with the lvl advantage and gold advantage you turn into a monster its really just trick2g udyr with poachers knife which allow you to have nearly 3 camp buffs on you at all times

I mostly sleep on Poacher's because it's all like "ima be in your jungle all day eryday, so ward up k?"

I'm all dor opportunistic counterjungling, but telegraphing your intentions like that is just asking to get punished.

It's not just how Telegraphed Counter Jungling is, Poacher's knife is just too specific to be reliable pick, Whether you intend to counter Jungle or not. If you wanted to buff Poacher's Knife, give it more General abilities, that help the Jungler elsewhere.

yeah because the enemy will just not go to your jungle and clear your jungle and gank your lanes and get fed by getting kills/assists. Also they can ward the jungle and while you are trying to take a camp the enemy team will already have knowledge of where you are and can cut you off or just say "now you cannot counter this gank" or "now we have free dragon" or "now we can push all we want" and while your lanes are being destroyed by a jungler that actually does something for lanes you are doing nothing but killing that wolf camp for the who knows who many times now. Poacher's knife isn't used for a reason. It requires you to be in enemy territory leaving you vulnerable to being collapsed and you buying that item pretty much tells the enemy team "let's get free ganks everywhere and invade their jungler as much as possible"
