Stealth and invisibility in this game needs ton of work

Current stealth model is:

screwed up from stealther's perspective, wise use of red trinkets and pink wards completely disables something your champion usually heavily relies on. Don't even get me started on invisible traps.
even more screwed up from support's perspective, if enemies have a stealther, you are forced to lose item slot for pink. Add another slot for sighstone, yet another for something like Mikael's you something just need to take, and another for obligatory mobi boots and you are left with two slots for other items. This is your support item, and one another. If you needed to do some work as your team's frontliner, you are foked
screwed up from everyone else's perspective, if enemies have a stealther you can't fight, lategame you are forced to support-hug

As someone who plays both stealther champions and support, I find point 2 the most problematic.

Yeah cause thinking should not be allowed in a competitive games. Heaven forbid you have to adapt to the situation.

Sad that we dont have a aextra slot for pink wards (maybe make the totem trinket upgradeable to a pink with less health?)

stealth is a mech that should be removed . why should it exist there is little counterplay other than buy a pink.Anyone that as been on the receiving end of fed Rengar understands. EVe is the only one that almost ok. Pinks work really well against her but at most elos ppl wont buy pinks lol. And u can only have a max of 5 anyway. YOu cant cover every path that stealth champs can take. REngar /kha only have it on their ulti which is ok but when they use it u just die evry time ,it doesnt matter what u build ur still dead.Shaco is the most stupid stealth mech there is he can literlly stealth every 2 seconds(at least it feels like it) YOu cant kill a good shaco u cant see hi m coming and u cant run and he just 2 shots u at level 6.ON the same note i feel like there is no good way to balence stealth champs in the game unless we can place more than one pink per person.Either riot needs to give us an item that helps(stealth detection area 1000 range or something) more pinks or just flat rework all these stealth champs and lose the stealth part. JUst my 2 cents.

Those points have always held true in almost every game with stealth though.

WoW (old wow not new stuff havent played it in forever) if the enemy had a rogue you spammed flares/Aoe and hugged someone that could cc/shield/out heal

Neverwinter nights: cast true sight and stay near allies if suspected stealth nearby

Halo: Turn up gamma (my fps pink ward solution :P) so they stand out

Total war: warhammer: if suspected assasins nearby or tunnel hiders stay grouped and use command abilities to take away ambush advantages.

This stuff is pretty much stealth video games 101 formula
