Honestly, early game money is a lot more important than late game money. You need those starting few items to get started snowballing onto other items. It's not really worth it to buy a smite upgrade, wait until you have everything else, and then swapping it to something else. especially if you're a tank where cinderhulk is super strong.
At least, that's my opinion.

thanks for the answer Lugignaf!
But im not sure I understand what u mean :/. Are u saying that u shouldnt upgrade Hunters machete early?
Cause i think getting early Trackers or stalkers is pretty strong on tanky junglers. (maybe not mundo but u kinda need the mana regen on many tanks) The mana/health regen and bonus xp is pretty nice, plus the smite active ofc. Stalkers on volibear fx. makes him so damn fast combined with his Q. Pretty much a certain kill if u flash aswell. Or trackers if ur team needs warding. After that u can just buy a Ruby stone or 2 and some resistance + boots and then change the smite and get Bamis cinder and then Cinderhulk. But yeah u will have to delay the cinderhulk upgrade. But is an early cinderhulk really that strong? U get 100 more hp + 15% bonus healt, which is less than 100 for ca 500 g. its not bad but if u get some more hp before u upgrade to cinder u will get more bonus hp.
Idk I just feel like 200 g isnt that much compared to how strong red smite gets mid-lategame.

That's not what I'm saying at all. I'm saying that if you buy an upgrade to your smite early, say trackers, and don't give it an enchantment like cinderhulk or warrior somewhat quickly, you'l lbe at a disadvantage becaaause the other jungler will have bought other items and be simply stronger than you.
Unless you're snowballing super hard, you should just buy the smite enchantment like that's going to be the one you use all game. Don't switch them throughout the game.

I mean if u wait with the uprade to cinderhulk ext. and use trackers or stalkers for the early game.
Atleast i think this could be good on tanky junglers (mundo,voli,rammus) since Skirmishers is pretty op in the later game. isnt that worth 200 g? Cinderhulk really isnt that strong when u rush it, u get like what 50-75 bonus hp? and I dont find skirmishers that strong in early game so why not. Maybe not in every situation, but unless u get screwed in the early game I think its worth. Any thougts?
