Cheap (Tier 1 or 2) laning, pressure/jungling items

Admittedly, I haven't played too many matches but one pain point I've come across is how ineffective the heroes are at jungling and for some of the roster, lane pressure, early on. It would be nice if there were cheaper ways to improve laning and especially jungling efficiency/difficulty much earlier in the game. My ideas are:

-A tier 1 or 2 item that can build into Alchemical Fire. Essentially a cheaper Active offensive item that theoretically CAN be used to push/farm/jungle but is not its primary purpose. Or another implementation could be:
-A tier 2 item that is analogous to Dagon from Dota 2. I do like the player choice of choosing to improve Dagon over time or sell it once it's no longer useful or beneficial to continue improving. I think this one has the potential to be the most disruptive unfortunately. But it's an idea!
-A tier 2 item analogous to the effect of Dota 2's Hand of Midas or Doom's Devour ability. Something that can instakill a weaker creep for a small benefit.
-A tier 1 item analogous to Tango from Dota 2. To be honest, I'm not sure how this would work due to the absence of trees or an equivalent in Deadlock. Maybe the crates? Or speaking of crates:
-A tier 1 or 2 item that could increase the occurrence of healing (or even souls??? 🤔) in crates. If the crate system is something that is going to remain a core part of the game's design, it would be nice to have a way to influence the weighting of certain item types spawning in them. However, I do see the crate items as the equivalent of Runes in Dota 2 and those are just straight up random.

I'm sure a lot of these items are going to seem stupid, unnecessarily disruptive or pointless as I continue to play the game but just throwing some stuff out there as a base and maybe much more experienced players can chime in or build off of these.
 
Heroes that have trouble killing neutral creeps early generally do so because of their kit imo. Try those same camps with abrams or lash and see if it's different. The game already has the monster bullet item for doing damage to neutrals and mystic shot is another common pick to help with farm.
