Does anyone else just get tilted as fuck when hey have to play against stealth/invisibility?

Strawberrycocoa··5 votes·708 views

I've hated stealth/invisibility mechanics ever since my time in battlegrounds during vanilla WoW. Being literally unable to see people coming, and having those characters enjoying huge damage benefits when bursting out of stealth, it's just maddening to me. It's completely insane and ridiculous to me that such a mechanic exists in PVP gameplay. If people want to approach unseen they should have to use terrain and cleverness, handing out invisibility is completely dumb.

At least when we had oracles elixir it was manageable, now the only stealth counter is pink wards and they aren't even invisible anymore so it's too easy to take them out.

Grah. It aggravates my shit that people think invisibility skills are in anyway fair or balanced in a PVP environment. >_<

Sorry, I'm still salty from a Nemesis Draft match last night where my idiot team mates picked Twitch and Shaco for the enemy team. Dumbfucks make bad life choices.

No I just buy a pink. Stealth champs are REALLY shit ATM since a link counterd the fuck out them. Who do you have the most. I'm assuming rengar? Dw he's getting reworked

Whenever I try to use a pink they just kill it or avoid the area. It was so much better when Oracle Elixir allowed me to maintain a reveal area around me no matter where I go, or when they couldn't just see ad attack the pinks out in the open.

Hmm interesting I actually tend to hold onto my pink until in combat.

It's really good for fighting the stealthed idiots rather than as a traditional ward.

I tend to yellow their camps and save oinks for when I fight them.

My only problem with that approach, at least during laning, is that once combat starts they've likely already exploited the free initiation stealth gives them.

Which champions are you talking about in particular

Which champions are you talking about in particular ?

Shaco yeah this guy is really op when ahead but his stealth is only for a short distance usually buying pinks and warding in a line will stump him.

Twitch same thing he can only stealth for a fee seconds, lane ganks are OP though

Mostly Twitch. Eve is at least melee/short range so you can try to root and kite her.

well really are you going to waste an item slot just to reveal kha'zix for 1/2 seconds?

Sounds better than being dead for 40+.

Honestly while it's really annoying I don't think it's as bad as twitch's. It doesn't even have an indicator like rengar's or anything.

Giving up an entire item slot is VERY significant though. It may not mean much to a support, but the other classes all need the power that item slot affords them.

Exactly, It's one second too. Two at max. And really if someone evolves R it's really weird.

Basically what cocoa said, I agree with him.

Yea, stealth mechanics were a mistake and need to be removed from the game.

lmao the crying

i cry as well. especially as someone who mains twitch and shaco. people should be happy with current stealth mechanics. eve is seen if she gets close to enemy champs, then has a long wait to re-enter stealth. twitch if getting hit is the same, and he doesnt even have an ms boost, just a somewhat okay slow on a different ability. and twitch can only stealth for a max of 8 seconds now, its long longer 10 at level 1 and 50 at max. shacos blink range was basically halved. rengar causes fcking marks to appear over the heads of nearby enemy champs. then the other other champs that us stealth are either have limited movement in stealth (teemo, akali) or it just doesnt go on for more then 2 seconds (kha, vayne. but at least they can instantly enter stealth even while getting hit).

No, because I buy pink wards.

Yea stealth is cancer in multiplayer games.

I mean Shaco's blink + stealth only lasts a short while so putting deeper regular wards (where he'd travel before stealthing) and/or close by pink wards still close enough to generally protect from instant destruction from the enemy laner help a ton. If he puts down a box to try and trap you, it breaks his stealth. The boxes also have an arm time, so just walk around it.

For Twitch, it's sort of obvious he'a there the vast majority of the time in laning so the only reason he'd have to use it is to run away. Postlaning applies same as Shaco. Deeper wards to prevent flanking and putting a pink near your team if a teamfight looks imminent helps a ton.

Twitch, Eve? My last fave champs cause Eve is just annoying and Twitch just always carries bot-lane. And is never on my team.

No. I always buy item 2043 item 3341 item 3364 though.

They do destroy pinks, obviously, but that's a gank that didn't mess me up, so that's 75 gold well spent.
