User blog comment:Slashingstrike/Hunter's Potion Idea/@comment-8506165-20161011095454

Hunter's Potion really exists mainly as a crutch for junglers who have poor health or mana sustain when they're clearing. If you give it to every jungler as a default starting purchase, though, then you bolster the junglers that don't really need it. People with relatively fast healthy clears could go immediately to ganking on full resources and recover anything they lose just through doing a couple of camps.
