Do something about invisible champions (esp. camouflaged)

You got rid of pink wards and now we can't do jack shit about invisible champions. Pink wards were like the one and only defence against camouflaged.

Just got out of a game against Twitch jungle who landed ganks 100% of the time. There's like no fucking way to play around that camouflaged bullshit.

Remember when Evelynn was a huge balancing problem because you couldn't avoid her ganks? Riot had to start a new level of nerfs nowadays renowned as "the evelynn treatment," where Riot nerfs the champion so hard that the champion never steps foot on the summoner's rift ever again.

Well it's time to do that shit to Twitch as well. Because this fucking champion will not only find perfect ganks 100% of the time because laners can only put down 1 pink ward, but also prevent you from killing him by attacking from a far as a RANGED CHAMPION. LIKE WTF. Think about it. At least Evelynn is a squishy melee so you can choose to go for a kill.

Then there's this fucking rat TWITCH, who has a slow before 6, DoT, and hits from a far with red buff that makes escaping impossible. He's like ranged Evelynn who essentially scales into being an ADC.

Tldr: give Twitch some kind of Evelynn treatment (so weak that he can't clear a 800hp river crab without leash)

FUCK TWITCH.

P.S.: I bought Evelynn and a full set of runes to abuse her and it's so hilarious how easily I can put someone on tilt. Camp a lane, 5+ ganks and free win. Can't wait to gather enough ip and buy twitch so I can do that more effectively.

Lol, you do know control wards reveal twitch right? Just like always. Also twitch jungle is probably the easiest champ to counter jungle.

Git gud

So, camouflaged units, ie Twitch and Eve, are revealed by control wards, which are the new pink wards.

Sure, pink wards were the only counterplay to invisible champs before. But what was their counterplay against pinks?

They didn't have any, other than taking 3-4 seconds to destroy something when you are trying to escape or engage(which defeats the point). This led to every single champ with an invisibility ability to be hard countered by an item that cost only 75-100 gold. It wasn't even gated by being useful to only one class... And I, someone who pretty much only plays support, have to agree that that needed to be changed.

Like Evelynn, you have to ward differently than standard against Twitch. Control wards help by cutting off routes they can go without giving you warning, so use those when you can. What works best is deep warding. If you're bot lane, your support goes and wards by their botside buff so you see when they do the buff or the camps nearby. This gives your a good idea of when they can and can't go for a gank. Same for midlane, you ward the jungle entrances by the camps. It doesn't give you exact warning, but it does give you a good idea of when they can and can't gank.
