Pinks no longer reveal invisible champions?

So, apparently pink wards will no longer detect invisibility next pre-season? So then what is there to do? Evelynn Khazix Twitch Akali Rengar Surely this defeats the purpose of even playing the game if you're just going to get messed up, and I know it states the difference between camouflage and invisibility, I mean the argument it makes isn't even a good one - hitting a skillshot on an invisible enemy? That's real neat kiddo, to follow and chase down an invisible target is so trivial if under-levelled that it wouldn't make sense to do so.

Am I just being daft in thinking the concept of removing pinks/altering will ruin the game?

I think you're reading it wrong.

Pink wards will no longer work on invisbility. Nothing is stated about camouflage (Eve's mechanic) or stealth as a whole. Just invisibility mechanics. It's a small detail, but I highly doubt Riot would make Eve immune to pink wards.

Right, rengar and eve will still be visible by pinks (pending rengrs assassin rework he might not even have stealth). It's only tactical stealth aka invisibility like akali shroud and kha ult and wu clone that won't be revealed by pinks.

It will affect the game for sure. Significantly buffing Kha'Zix and such.

To be fair, kha-zix could use the buffs. 10.1% playrate and 50.1% win-rate is definitely not "balanced". [zombie-brand-facepalm]

They will probably nerf him now too :/. 50.1% play rate*[zombie-nunu-bummed]* is too unbalanced

Pinks will still detect Eve as her invisibility is what Riot is deeming "camouflage," which is a separate category from invisibility (it's stealth that has a range and can be detected through proximity). Just as a point of clarification.

Actually I guess Riot hasn't technically confirmed this, but they said it will probably still be detected by the "equivalent" of next season's pink wards, whatever that means.

I love how they say along the lines of "we say it like this so its clear" yet they use such bombast language it is borderline pretentious and still unclear

Note :- I didn't wanna jump the gun and be like "IT'S FUCKING BULLSHIT BLAH RARGH ETC." I wanted to see if there was perhaps anything else to it.
