Riot, It is Time to Address Poacher's Knife
I think that we can all agree that 
is, by far, the worst upgrade to purchase on a jungler. With the increased difficulty of the jungle, can we come up with some way to justify a meager +20g upon invading the enemy jungle? Certain champions like 
may be able to make use of this item without sacrificing significant survivability, but let us be honest, this item is not worth the purchase. 
for sustain, 
for dueling or even a better counter-jungling alternative, and 
for added lane pressure.
Please revise this item to make it a viable option. I want to feel like I can do something with this instead of wasting my smite to MAYBE steal a buff and MAYBE get out of their jungle alive.
Ideas:
- Significantly increased gold incentives - obvious reasons
- Increase smite damage to enemy jungle camps - this way the counter-jungler is more likely to actually steal the item and has an advantage over the other jungler in this case. I can see this as being a problem, however and is my least recommended change.
- Upon killing an enemy large monster, completely refresh the cooldown of smite - this makes the most sense to me because that way there is no down time after stealing an enemy buff. You are rewarded for successfully stealing the enemy camp and can then proceed to your own jungle and smite again.
- Possibly giving smite an additional ability that allows you to cast it on a champion within 10 seconds after you have successfully stolen a large monster. Affected targets are stunned for 1-2 seconds - possibly overkill but it would allow you to run to lane right after stealing enemy jungle for a gank, or let you stop the enemy jungler from killing or chasing you after stealing their buffs.
Feedback?
I am also curious which item people tend to get when they play jungle. See attached poll. Thanks!
I take Trailblazer because the sustain is just too good to pass up in most situations.
