Oracle's Extract is too strong

What can Shaco do when someone has item 2047? Sit back and throw daggers.

What can Teemo do when someone has item 2047? Sit back and shoot blinding darts.

This item makes champs basically useless in ARAM. I can understand the part where it reveals traps, but champs, too? How is that fair in a game mode where the invisible camp already has basically nowhere to move?

What can other players do when Shaco uses Q? What can other players do when Teemo litters the whole map with shrooms?

Yeah, it's not elegant, but it's Riot's fault for not balancing those champions in the first place.

Shaco's Q is all that guy's got, and it's the fact that people can see Teemo himself when he's in stealth that's awful.

The fear range on Shaco's boxes is actually quite similar to the Oracles radius of detection. They can still manage to fear people if they're not paying attention. Not to mention they still act as relevant deterrents to all-ins, since even with Oracles, the boxes will fear and attack as soon as someone snowballs into them.

As far as his Q goes, yeah it's kinda a pain. But if you're at that point in the game where everyone has the money lying around to buy Oracles, Shaco likely isn't doing much anyway besides clean-up duty.

With Teemo, Oracles may counter his proactive shroom placements (i.e. the shrooms he simply drops and waits for people to step on), but it does nothing to counteract his reactive shroom placements (i.e. the shrooms he throws into clusterfucks to do massive AOE damage). Just sit on the max number of shrooms until a fight breaks out and start throwing them at people. They'll be too preoccupied with the battle to clear them.

As a Shaco semi-main, I can honestly admit I wish his box had a smaller detection range. It would fear less people, it wouldn't constantly get triggered by minions, and it would better focus the target that actually triggered it instead of instantly getting run away from.

I should post about that next. :u
