What exactly is the counterplay to stealth now?

I'm not here to whine about it i'm just curious what does Riot expect us to do to counter it? Sweep them so we can see them but still not interact?

This mechanic in general just seems like a horrible design. Some champs would be flat out garbage without it and others are just downright irritating with it.

Vayne and Khazix being the main people my question is targeted at. Everyone else with stealth is usually only going to use it after a decent time while these two just abuse the heck out of it. (I don't count evelynn cause she can't do it in the middle of a fight)

You have no way to trade against them during stealth besides getting lucky guesses on where they are and tossing a skill shot. You most likely won't escape either of them and chances are you won't catch them either.

I often find myself fighting one of them and am just straight up confused on what to do I use to always buy pink wards against stealth champs to counter it but now that you can't what the heck am I suppose to do?

I think Riot is trying to make it so that Stealth has some value at all stages of the game. If everyone was running around with ways to reveal Vayne or Kha in the middle of a fight all the time, you're basically nullifying an entire character for one potion/trinket. Thats why QSS got changed because people were literally going "Ha! Zed, QSS, lul"

Now I think there could be an item other than having the support throw down a item 2055 in the middle of a team fight and hoping it works. But it shouldn't be a freebie, essentially.

item 3364 This is perfect for revealing them. When they re-appear you burst them or use skill shots or other abilities to hurt them in stealth.
