Why the sleep mechanic is Honestly just stupid

The sleep mechanic is one of the dumbest things i think i've ever seen in my whole life, The point of stuns being a short duration is that when stunned the player has no control over their character, which means that by definition there is no counterplay, because while stunned there is NO GAMEPLAY AT ALL for the stunned player (other than qss of course) and so when you play a game that is an hour long and you have extended periods of time where you are literally sitting waiting for you to be able to move or use abilities again, and your character is just "asleep" and anything can happen, and now i have to play the next 59 minutes of a game from behind because i got hit with one ability at level 2 and they have an eternity to set up a play where i literally CAN NOT DO ANYTHING unless i have a qss. IT's just so god damn stupid.

Literally the only counterplay to the sleep is to either flash out while you are drowsy (which most often wont even help so its better to just hold the flash) or just fucking stand under their tower until the game is over.

Dont get me wrong its a decently tough skillshot to hit, but there should NEVER be ANY ability that makes you an absolute vegetable for 5 seconds at a time.

It just !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! is !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! not !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!fun.

side note: stuns are fine, they make sense 1 second , 2 seconds, hell even 3 seconds is alright i just hate spending the entire laning phase focusing on nothing except for trying to stay awake, honestly its a lot like watching LCS.
