That item should have left the game with Crystal Scar. I feel as if it should be removed or nerfed. It is such an oddball item that can completely remove certain champions from the game. For example Teemo lets say hes hiding to backdoor and they walk past him, normally he would be able to do this but because it only costs 300 gold to have 5 minutes (which is normal a quarter of the game) of Vision of INVISIBLE items it makes teemo unable to play his champ to the fullest. This also affects all other Invis champs and place-down abilities. This either needs nerfed or removed. It is too irregular to have in the game as it can turn a game around for 300 gold.

The reason I'd argue for it staying is that:

Teemo's shrooms are very frustrating to fight against as is, but more so on a narrow hallway like the Howling Abyss.
There is no other reasonable alternative to Oracle's Extract. Duskblade isn't up that often and your minions won't even cover 15% of the area that's covered in shrooms.
If the item were to be removed, Teemo's shroom duration would have to be heavily nerfed as a result. Heavily nerfed.
If the item were removed without compensation, Teemo would just dominate every game he's in. Shrooms cover such a large surface area and there's no drawback to using them. If there was no counter to it, I'm pretty sure Teemo would single-handedly kill the fun of every ARAM match he's involved with.

As opposed to letting Shaco and Teemo place traps everywhere on the Abyss? Hell nah.

It's a necessary evil at this point. Either the item stays or it gets removed and Teemo/Shaco are unable to be picked/rolled in ARAM.
