I have entirely too much power over the enemy jungle.

Playing Nocturne mid with smite, or honestly, probably any hyperwave clear mid laner that can clear jungle camps. I see you in your bot side jungle? Okay, I Q+Umbrablades 1shot my wave, and I go take your Wraiths,Red Buff, and Scuttle before the enemy mid laner can crash the wave onto my tower. The capacity at which I can steamroll objectives side by side with the actual jungler is disgusting, and I lose no CS in doing so.

It isn't even fair. If my jungler is top side, I can react to a bot side gank and counter gank, and he can sweep the enemies entire top quadrant. If my jungler is bot side to react to a bot side gank, I can sweep the enemies entire top side quadrant. Or the reverse. The enemy jungler ends up being behind 4+ levels, and thousands of gold VERY quickly. This really should not be allowed, it isn't even the enemy junglers fault that there is absolutely nothing he can do, totally powerless to all of his exp and gold being taken away with zero repurcussions.

Sure the mid laner could back off the lane, and follow me into the jungle, but would lose all of his CS in doing so, and I would just disengage, and go back to lane having lost much less than he has. God forbid the enemy jungler actually catches me in his jungle, I will just destroy him, with me being atleast 2 levels ahead he cant even contest his own jungle. Almost every game I have played, has ended with us taking Rift Herald at around 11mins, and just walking it straight down mid and ending the game.

The tradeoff is I lose power by running smite, in exchange for taking the enemies jungle. Well, with catchup exp not existing, theres no contest. Running smite is better than the power gain of ignite or TP, because it makes a player completely NON-EXISTANT, and my only penalty is a very very very minor loss of power(Red smite is just as good as ignite as far as dueling goes).
