Can we change the way stealth works pls?

Hi i main shaco, and i've also played a bit of talon and a good amount of twitch and rengar and its incredibly frustrating to me when someone spends 250 gold to upgrade red and suddenly i cant teamfight or fight much anything. I get renegaded to split pushing and sent cowering because riot gives out an item that completely counters 1 or sometimes multiple abilities of my champ. I read a rioters post in the urf q&a saying how a red trinket invalidates shaco, and its true. Yet when i read people talking about shaco they demand nerfs.

So getting back on topic i was thinking we could some how change the way stealth is handled, pink ward and oracles should stay simply because there a good way to counter vision and I think thats perfect for them. What i don't agree with is a qss level amount of counter being packed into a 250 gold item. Perhaps we could make all stealthed champs sort of have a rengar like effect where everyone is aware they are there but can't target them or see them, perhaps even giving it a hotter or colder system introducing some strategy beyond just hitting the 4 button and killing the poor son of a gun that wanted to stealth. It probably isn't perfect, heck it might be worse but I really would love to see some more dept to countering a stealth champ then just "Oh i see your (insert stealth champ here) i'll just buy pink wards till 9 then upgrde my red trinket so i don't have to let you play anymore."

If anything it's a massive buff compared to Season 3 when each team permanently ran 1-2 Oracle's from the 15 min mark.

Yea in bronze, most people dont upgrade trinkets, I'm bronze and just started doing it myself. I now know the major vision advanatage an upgraded ward brings to toplane.

You must not have played when Oracle's Elixir existed.

i started playing just when aatrox came out so about late season 3, elixirs was a thing then and it still is in 3v3 ( used to play on it quite a bit before the bot invasion) and honestly i didnt see much of it, granted i was still early lvl and hadnt picked up any stealth champs.

When Oracle's was a thing on SR it was a lot worse.

i feel for eve but akali seems to be the one person that i feel needs the vision for. She snowballs so hard, ironicaly i feel she is also the one people buy the least amount of vision for, i find even i forget to buy a pink against akali, im not sure if it;s cause she can;t engage with it on me or because i know shes in a set area but akali as a champion certainly isnt as invalidated as shaco or eve are.
