So this new item does have counterplay to it: The activation itself takes 1.5 sec, but the activation cannot happen in combat. If you take damage and try to use the active, it gets put on a 5 sec cooldown.

on the other hand can not do any of those. It can not be activated in combat. It has a 1.5 second timer before it activates. Then it pops the first spell that hits it. With a 30 second cool down. Meaning it a worse version of 
spell shield.

grab.
