Anti-Rengar Marksman Item

So as a Rengar main, everytime i one-shot a poor adc in the middle of their team before a teamfight I think about how little counterplay there is (which is why for the upcoming assassin rework Rengar is top priority). I think adcs need something to counter oneshots just as the mages have zhonyas. Although there may be problems i was thinking along the lines of an item with attack damage and life steal (or whatever) but more importantly an active that reveals stealthed targets near them and silences them for a period of time (was thinking 1.5-2 seconds) on around a 110 second cooldown.

This would allow for more counter play against rengar players and also force them to build cdr so that their ult comes off cooldown and gives a small window of opportunity to kill the adcs while the item is on cooldown.

Also, it would add counter play to other stealth champions like twitch and kha'zix as they can move out of the range of the item as rengar is the only champ with the (!) above peoples head to say that he is near.

All thoughts are welcome.

i do not think that an item that is only good VS 3-4 champions but wrecks them completely is a good idea.

Also the "buy 1 item, delete this champion's main / most important play pattern with 1 well timed button press" idea is not very good imho.

to balance assassins, what is needed is a situation where you as rengar can be made to miss a skill which you are required to land.

But then champions like rengar will have to get some buffs because right now all you really have for team fights (if rengar's ahead he's a more than decent 1v1 champion) is your "delete this target" combo.

but then rengar moves into bruiser territory and let's face it rengar mains pick him for the "see carry, kill carry" "mechanics animation cancel skillllzlzllaaz" delete combo. so not sure you gonna like it.

HOWEVER

i feel many carries can survive rengar's initial if they buy any of the good defensive items. S.A. item 3143 . after your combo is done what do you have? you need to wait 3 seconds for your next skill to come up and an ADC of the same gold level can definitely AA you to death in that time frame assuming he's got enough peel from an ally to not eat your AAs in that time frame.

so maybe what needs to happen is simply ADC players to stop whining and start buying item 3143 ?

Evelynn also has the exclamation point to reveal she is nearby. And Rengar players already build CDR, item 1400 item 3142 item 3158. Red trinket, pink ward, armor, GA, disengage supports, Soraka, all of these can screw up a Rengar's dive.
