Time to think outside the box for Season 5 jungle

Was just thinking about it, back in season 4, unless you had FF you usually would sell your jungle item late game for something that had more value (ex: Selling Spirit of the Ancient Golem for a Warmogs, Selling Spectral Wraith for Rabadon's or Zhonya's).

I think that the current state of jungle itemization is making that more optional now. Instead of like it has been this seasons, keeping enchants for the high value on both the enchant and the smite itself, you can now optionally sell you jungle item (since smites are now less valuable).

This could be the difference between a Malphite picking up a Warmog's late game instead of juggernaut, meaning he'd get 300 extra hp and the only thing he'd be giving up is Trailblazer since the other smites aren't that great right now.

Or Olaf could pick up a BotRK for its slow instead of the piss poor (and about the same range) chilling smite.

Alternatively Riot could also revert Chilling Smite back to the 50% slow since the range is reduced, meaning it would actually be worthwhile to take. The biggest problem is though Riot, the smite upgrades are NECESSARY for junglers to thrive. You need them to farm efficiently, you need them to gank efficiently (especially with champions like who can easily escape ganks), but every patch you are making the smites weaker and more expensive. (250 gold just so I can go from farming for a not shit early game to a mediocre ganking mid game)
