The thing is White Smite goes against what the average counter jungler has. The average counter jungler succedes due to high 1v1 potential, most counter junglers don't have the fastest or the healthiest clears in the game, but they have amazing dueling potential. For these people ANY of the other smites can be more useful in most situations. Red smite gives extra damage to helo you duel, AND it migitates the enemy's burst, Blue Smite keeps them from running away, and Purple Smite keeps you healthy. It's not horrible, it's just that it isn't as good as its alternatives in almost every case.
