So did the stealth changes actually make the game healthier?

Because not being able to see Vayne Khazix Evelynn Rengar Shaco Twitch is really fun and has great counterplay potential!

Because the 100 gold spammable pink wards invalidating a whole kit was even more fun.

Let me try and use an example you did not mention with before and after.

Akali before the stealth changes basically could only use Shroud as a means of CC against enemies who knew what a pink ward is and were alright with using a but of gold to buy one. Unless you knew about the bug where placing the shroud inside a wall would make the circle disappear while still being able to hid in the edge it was easily rendered useless for anything outside of a movement speed boost and enemy slow. IT was basically a situation of why does this evne have stealth when it is so easily disregarded.

While most Akali players who have experienced the before and after will say the changes make it feel bad overall the end result has made the stealth actually useful outside of making an enemy have to spend some gold to get a hard counter to it.

It should. If riot did balance around that. And that wasn't really the case.

You get some vision on damage which is pretty nice (Urgot counter invisibility with dot and point click spell even if you don't see him).

More seriously, yes it's more healthy, just take a global vision. Yes you can't counter so easily stealth but that make them more reliable so they don't need so much power outside of it. Now it's not just a did you place a pink check.
