The problem arises when items that are meant to help junglers keep up with their laning teammates are either too strong in general or synergize too well with certain champions in particular.

Look at Runeglaive Ezreal: Runeglaive is not an OP enchant, but it works so well with ezreal, even with the upcoming nerfs it will be good on him.

Also add in the fact that challenging smite is often a more effective dueling summoner spell than ignite, and with a much shorter cooldown.

I'm all for going off-meta, but it really frustrates me seeing these jungle items being bought by laners, especially when the whole point of these items is to compensate junglers for their slow early game, lest they fall too far behind, which is a problem most laning champs don't suffer from.
