item 3147 Disables Shaco's boxes just by being near them. (or teemo's shrooms)

There's already too many ways to disable traps and this just had to happen.

Now when an assassin jumps into battle (and lets be honest, 3/4 of assassins build this item), he's immune to Shaco's boxes or Teemo's Shrooms. No need for a sweeper trinket anymore, or control wards or even oracles now. This is cancer and needs to be removed, assassins need their counterplay, they don't even have to worry about disabling their ability to ward by buying a red trinket, (by switching from the green/blue trinket) anymore.

Still need help finding those pesky traps? Use a plant near the baron and dragon! now you're sure that EVERY SINGLE trap that you lay down will be for completly nothing, since enemies will already know where they are and will easily clear them out! No need for the element of surprise, am i right guys?

Shaco mid/top/jg/supp rely on boxes as their main source of CC (especially with the rise of Ap Shaco), why would you give enemies 10 ways to disable/reveal them? You guys nerfed QSS because it was removing Zed's ultimate, yet there's WAY too many ''counter'' items for Invisible traps.

This has been said many times before, and i hope that it will be said many times in the future if nothing happens about it.

I find it hilarious that if the enemy assassin has Duskblade, and I happen to ward near them (suppose they walk into a brush and I'm chasing them), I give them True Sight.

I feel your pain, I really do. I think it's terrible how Riot does Shaco like they've done him. I also think it's ridiculous that his boxes (and Teemo's traps) don't 'wind-down' to go off. I mean, was Jhin's trap model sooooo unique that something like that can't be applied to either of them? Or would giving their traps innate counterplay make too much sense?

I hate this too. I don't mind trinket or all the other things but duskblade is so annoying. Even red trinket is fine to me I don't mind it.
