The word that describes Season 5's Jungle to me is "Change". And we've had plenty of changes this season. Not only from previous seasons (Lee, Elise, Evelynn, if you remember), but from preseason and early this season, too. But there is one thing that bothers me.

item 3713 This item has seen changes. item 3706 This one too. item 3715 We all remember pre-nerf Challenging Smite Warwick. But there is one more item. One that, despite being widely regarded as a failure, hasn't received ANY changes at all. item 3711 I'm talking about Poacher's Knife. What do you think needs to happen for this item to be considered viable on the same level as the other items?

Speaking about changes, you cant really leave out the Enchantments. Juggernaut-->Cinderhulk or Magus-->Runeglaive, and now on the PBE, Devourer-->Sated Devourer. But once again, there is one Enchantment which was left behind. Warrior Enchantment. Do you think there is any problem with it? And if you think there is, how do you propose to solve these?

Warrior enchantement still great. Runeglaive is weaker tbh a nerf down from sheen just seems wasted money. Better spend it on other items and a couple of mana pots.

Well the problem with the grey enchantement is that it just doesn't pay off. The purple one gives you both boosts in your own jungle as the enemy jungle so that covers everything and is risk free. A couple of extra 100g's in the end fo the game doesn't pay off the risk dedicated counterjungling brings and you don't get the combat benefits the other ones give you.

What I would propose for Poachers knife is doubling the gained gold and increasing the speed boost to 200% from 175%. It probably still wouldn't be worth it, but at least a bit better than now. Maybe change the movement speed buff to be activated when you use smite instead of when killing the enemy jungle monsters. It could help ganking?
