So can we get more options to deal with invisibility?

Riot themselves has said they have problems with the mechanic, and that champs overly reliant on it like Eve have been kept down because of it.

Back before the support overhaul we had a magical item called Oracles Elixir, it functioned like , but without the "or death" early loss. This item, for the same investment as the other elixers gave you protection from invisible engaging and escaping, and provided a realistic counter to teemo shrooms. They removed it because it became expected that supports put themselves in the hole buying the damn things, and it made champs like Eve and Shaco always hard countered.

Flash forward to now, as it stands there's only 4 sources of true vision through itemization at the moment, and only one of them is all that good. requires them to not be invisible when activated, and won't do anything to stealth traps Though not an item, kinda counts since 99% of the time it means you're taking up an item slot with . But it's almost not even worth mentioning since Raptors true sight only triggers off being spotted by a ward, not by approaching an invisible unit or trap. Is ALWAYS worth buying, but as a countering mechanism for invisibility it's not great, it's ALSO the only one open to laners for quite a while. In the PERFECT case, you drop it right when someone invisible is coming and you can kill them. Much MORE likely you spend 100 gold (and give 30 gold when they break it) to avoid one death. And finally, there's which is about the only item worth a damn. 10 seconds of true vision every 75 seconds is pretty good. but you can't get till 9, and if you don't have a lot of them on your team, you'll never be using it for ward removal.

None of those are good at handling stealth traps, and even oracles lens doesn't help for catching engages all that much, just for catching people running and countering stuff like Akali's bubble.

There are some items in the other modes that handle traps , but they ALWAYS detect them, so they'd shut out a lot of Teemo's and Shaco's power by basically negating their traps like Oracles Elixir did, so if something like them came over that passive would have to be tweaked.

I dunno, I just wish there was better/more varied ways of dealing with champs who use the stealth mechanic, but not so good that they become useless. Maybe bring into the rift, now that you can only buy one elixir at once, and since you'd lose it on death, it'd be a purchase with pros and cons.

And yes, I know certain champs have moves that grant true vision, but most of them require you to either see them before they go invisible (Lulu's pix, Karma's Tether) or at least have a vague idea of where the hell they are (Corki's bomb, Kog's living artillery), so they suffer the same problems as the items do.
