URF Reminded me of something

Why are Shaco boxes allowed to be utterly impossible to deal with as a melee?

You can see all of these "traps"

The traps you cannot see

So why does Shaco get to be special and have boxes you're just not allowed to disarm as a melee? With hard CC? And stealthed? Teemo has no hard CC whatsoever. Jhin only has hard CC when he uses two abilities- one of them a skillshot.

I know full and well there's no gameplay value to having a stealthed hard CC bomb that you can't counter at all short of just not being there. Admittedly yes this is venting but at the same time it's a question I've had since I started League back in 2013-14. Why does Shaco get to be the special brand of, "No go screw yourself- no counterplay allowed?"

the counterplay is pick something that can counterplay it

I'd type that in "mocking spongebob" but can't arsed because i'm on mobile right now.

Because he´d be too weak otherwise and it would ruin the fun for the Shaco players.

Aint it nice to have a character that willfully kills any squishy unlucky enough to have him walk up invisible behind them while also having those boxes to enable him to walk back out fully visible but equally safe as long as there isnt a second high power ranged carry present?

I was thinking of this earlier too. It's not like we don't know it's there, melee champs should be able to kill a shaco box that they have true sight of without getting feared.

Counterplay is walk around/avoid it, or let your ranged teamates hit it. Sweeper doesn't disable shrooms or jhin traps in anyway, so why should it disable shacos boxes?

they capped his boxes on URF for a reason. Also with what you're saying it sounds like you want them to remove his boxes entirely.
