Oppressive Game Mechanics (In Your Opinion)

Hey guys! I recently made a thread about grievous wounds and it made me think about other sorts of oppressive mechanics, and I'm a bit lacking on finding things that have little to no counter play items. But I am also just one person and want to know what yall think about mechanics that just make you think, "What can I possibly do against this other than have been another champion?"

Edit: Originally just said items in the post but want to make it clear this could be any effect in the game you feel is like this.

I feel like akali otp players past diamond 2 or so feel oppressive as fuck to watch, let alone lane against. Kinda the same with irelia. I feel like marksmen at 6 items are too strong as well, if you are a control mage, let alone a bruiser or assassin. I guess the early game is supposed to counterbalance that but I don't really feel early lasts long enough to set marksmen behind enough.

I fuckin cant stand Zhonyas. Makes Champs like Zed useless just by buying one item. Yet, there isn't an equivalent for ADCs, so ADCs are fucked, but mages are safe.

Zoe RNG level 2-3 all ins.
Stopwatch on champions that are supposed to be "high risk, high reward". Basically lets them play for a snowball with little risk.
Also, how good GA is on every ad champion while also having a fantastic build path.
Windwall as a ranged/projectile based champion.
Rengar with enough movespeed that you literally are being jumped on when you see the warning.
Playing against Eve in a side lane.
All of the overloaded champions that come out nowadays.

There are plenty more, but this is a good starting list.

Any ability that makes you unargettable and does damage. No counterplay, and bad balancing.

Stealth in general.

Oh cool. You won that fight because I can’t see you, and vision has been so gutted that I can’t just pink my lane and be done with it.
