Oracle's Extract should be nerfed or removed completely and swapped for something else.

Oracles extract is too op on ARAM imo.

It makes shaco utterly useless. Not only do shaco's traps get automatically activated when you walk near them with Oracles extract, but Shaco is visible to anyone near the person with this item. So you basically can not do anything because enemies see you and they see your traps. Same goes for teemo. Wanna sneak behind the enemies? NOPE they spot you with oracles. And they destroy all of your shrooms.

I think the item should be removed and they should add back those two items that used to be in aram, that you could buy, one was AD and one was AP but it wasnt so ridiculously OP because it had a passive that activated for the same duration that duskblade does now and then it went on cooldown (just like dusklblade)

But since there's duskblade in the game, they should just revive these two items but change the passive to an active with a 90ish second cooldown and when you'd activate these items, they would work like a sweeper for 10 secs, then they'd go on a cooldown. Thoughts?

Shaco is already strong on Aram, they have to add some sort of counterplay, if this was a topic of Oracle lens on summoners rift, I would agree it needs a change

And yet if they remove it then those champions break themselves again. Oracle's is fine. Players have to REMEMBER to buy it or CHOOSE to buy it over their completed items. I still have stealth champs steamroll me and my team even with it. So maybe that's not the real issue you're having, OP? :)

Oracles is too good on a team already ahead, too bad on a team too behind. It depends largely on teamcomp vs teamcomp, and i dont think theres an elegant fix.

Stealth champs are bad enough for the game because other champs HAVE to buy Oracles JUST to deal with them. You're obviously speaking as a player who wants to abuse that advantage on other people. MOST players HATE suddenly dying before they can react because of game mechanics instead of skill. The ONLY counterplay is 'Buy Oracles'. This makes these champions effectively a handicap on all other players. The GAME would be better off if invisibility was removed and Shaco/Teemo players had to actually play the game with everyone else.
