New Oracle Lens Nerfing Teemo Shrooms too Hard

I wanted to make a point that the new oracle lens gives a massive nerf to Teemo shrooms while giving a huge buff to other champions such as Shaco and Rengar.

The new oracles last for so long and have such a massive range that utilizing shrooms in lane is almost impossible. The only thing they become good for is slowing someone if they manage to grab you but then again if you get caught you're pretty much dead anyway and if their oracle is up then they just cancel it, kill Teemo, and still have plenty of time left to kill the shroom.

On the flip side, When i'm trying to chase down a Shaco (who already has stupid low cd's on his invisibility and boxes) I pop my oracles and see a shadow that I can't click on. By the time he's visible again he's put another box out and by the time the fear is over his invisibility is up again. I don't think this is fair to Teemo or any other junglers (except lee sin). Shaco especially can get away with the largest mistakes while still coming out ahead. Please bring back the old oracles lens so the game is fair across the board. Or at least make it so Teemo's shrooms can still pop when revealed.

I agree, the new oracles lens disabling all shrooms it sees within that 10s is too strong.

I've complained about oracle lens too strong of a shroom counter since PBE.

His shrooms are traps, not combat spells (with their fairly long arm time). Are you saying that when I buy the Oracle and am walking around in the jungle/river I'll just pop it?

If I was smart I probably would. You're right.

This needs to be known. Very unfair for a no CC, no stun , no mobility squishy champ. I am sure there are others who are very nerf by this but this does explain why people have been complaining about Rengar & lately Shaco.

There is also the removing of the Greater Vision Totem.. So this makes them more unfair. I cringe to think how they will be in urf mode... ugh...
