Oracles in aram is unfair.

Most champs in aram like teemo, nidalee, shaco, jhin use invisible traps to do damage, but in aram if someone spends 300 gold they get 5 minutes to have full sight of these traps. In game this makes gameplay 10 times harder, and can nearly ruin a build your running, making you have to sell your items from ap to ad shaco, or can destroy your kit and most of your damage in general. Getting oracles makes gameplay less fun, and puts teams with no traps at a huge advantage. I believe that oracles should be removed from aram which will bring balance to champs with stealthed traps.

until you understand that its a single lane map and trap champions can put them in any spot they want if oracles didn't exist they would become way more annoying to play against since you cant just kill the 7 boxes waiting for you or shrooms on health pack amd wtf do you mean nid and jhin rely on traps??????????

You're talking a 300 gold item that most players wouldn't even think to build as awareness. I would prefer to fake them out. As playing the champion:

Teemo is not as linear as most would assume. He doesn't always need traps. There's more than many viable ways to play him by using traps as a combat tool instead of utility
Nidalee is a genuine poke champion most of the time with spears. The traps grant vision if that's necessary. Realistically Oracles vs Nidalee is only forcing out the buy but it's not necessary nor urgent depending on the comp.
Jhin ramps up on damage over time. Basically a dependent force buy like with Nidalee.
Shaco is a unique factor as his traps are more effective than the others. But like Teemo, he's not linear and has variety in ways of being played depending on the team composition. The recent changes may have made it harder to execute, but from the other three champions you state, I see nothing wrong with the oracle factor.
