Poachers Knife - Gives Stacks of Teleport

How often do people actually get that item? +20 Gold and a short MS buff just don't seem to match what the other three Smites can do. I like the idea of an item devoted to Counter Jungling, but it doesn't seem to have been executed very well.

What I propose instead is for the item to be capable of using the Teleport spell, using a stack mechanic. Smiting a monster in the enemy jungle would add one stack (a monster can only give one; so no stealthily smiting and running back to it every few minutes), and after a certain amount of stacks (anywhere from 3-5; depending on how Riot would want to balance it) the item becomes usable in the same way that Teleport does.

The reason I suggest Teleport, of all spells; is that it would best promote counter jungling and jungle warding. It would be a way for a counter jungler to have an escape option if they get caught out; they could try and teleport to safety. OR, after clearing the enemy jungle they could teleport in for a gank at a far away lane. Because of that; enemy teams would have more incentive to ward their own jungle more heavily, which could cause blindspots elsewhere in the map and lead to opportunities for the counter jungler's team.

This would also give certain top laners a viable way to have smite; as they could grab Smite and still have an option to Teleport (doing so wouldn't be without its own risk, as you wouldn't have the Teleport as a band-aid option back to lane early in the game). It would cause the Scuttler to become a more contested objective; effectively giving a team more incentive to slow down the enemy Devourer jungler's stack building.

nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

there already nerving tp llol but this would be plain out ridiclouse

item 3711 is highly situational and 90% of the time a bad buy

some junglers can get away with it Nunu Shaco

RekSai if you decite to powerfarm the enemy jungle ( she really needs item 3706 for ganking id say ) Elise havent tried it yet really but she doesnt really need chilling or item 3713 so im deffenetly going to soon )

Kindred i dont really think this is that smart a option for him but it might be somewhat usefull since counterjungling is such a big part of your kit

note that even on junglers where id say it be a good buy on like shaco or nunu it could stil become a verry bad buy if you lose jungle controll where trailblazers is always a good buy (except for on elise reksai zac and tryndamere jungle maybe :P )
