Most modern helicopters have turbine engines.

Turbine engines eject lots of hot air.

All turbine engine inhale lots of air - from the immediate area - to state the obvious.

And helicopter main rotor blades agitate everybody's air.

Conclusion:

Depending on wind azmith, no matter how you design it, SOME of the ejected turbine engine air is gonna get into the engine inlet some of the time - which will cause higher Ng (N1) and T5 (T4.5, TOT, ITT, and FADEC problems, etc)

Get over it.
