If you pick Smite on him, he becomes very difficult to counterjungle, and can counterjungle extremely well. Basically, all he has to do is channel for 2 seconds on any camp, and he can Smite it to claim it at any time. If you let an enemy Ivern lay down a grove on your buff camps, for example, he can just pop by and Smite them any time, which means there might be no real way to capture them when you don't know where he is.
