An idea for poacher's knife (or equivalent counter-jungling item)
What is important for someone who wants to counter-jungle? I would say two things:
- Knowing where your opponent is. Since you go deep into the enemy's territory, you need to know where he is and where he isn't.
- Knowing your opponent will hate to see you just took his buff. This is the kind of things that makes counter-jungling a funny thing.
Both need one thing: vision. I suggest that when you smite a monster (or kill a smitten monster), you drop a **ward **(or equivalent, like mandrake) on the corpse of the monster. The vision will allow you to have a better map control on the enemy jungle, which is useful for the whole team, and to know that your opponent just realized that he lost his buff, which is fun.
