They tried replacing it instead but they found they can't, the whole idea of poachers was to give a niche counter jungling item but that niche is too small and inconsistent to have a dedicated item. It might have worked for you that one game but that's because everything you needed for counter jungling was there, if just one thing was off you would just die. And that's not even mentioning the fact that you've effectively announced to the enemy jungler that you want to counter jungle when you really need to do it covertly, so it becomes extremely dangerous to even buy it.

So removing it is the best idea, counter jungling just can't have a dedicated item for it, having that would just cause it to become redundant like it has with poachers.
