Ideas for Poaching Smite: Steal enemy jungler's buffs, or prevent an enemy from Smiting a target
Poaching Smite, I've found, isn't even that good on Nunu, who arguably is its best customer. That shows a problem in its intent. Perhaps jungle invading isn't something to be invested it, so I have some alternatives: jungle objective control and jungle buff theft. Note that these are not meant to be used together; they're mutually exclusive, so take one or the other.
The first option would be objective control. One thing that always ends up irking a lot of people is when someone does a Smite Steal, right? So what if your Smite prevented your opponents from Smiting the same target for, say, 3 seconds? That means you could make that Lee Sin's steal attempt futile (provided you Smite first), as he wouldn't be able to deal that 1000 damage to Baron Nashor at the right second.
The second option would be jungle buff theft. Cast Poaching Smite on an enemy Champion and you steal his blue or red buff! Note that you'd only get it for however long your opponent had left on it, so using it on someone whose Blue Buff was just about to expire will make you look kinda silly. Of course, your opponent could also take Poaching Smite and Smite you back if you did this too!
Any thoughts on these? Or any suggestions on other Poaching Smite variants?
