Solution(s) to Stealth Champions

Hey Riot, in a talk with my friend about the earlier C9 match against TSM, he proposed bringing oracles back, but make it so it breaks when you take damage. This provides counter play for the other team, allowing them to get rid of it if they see you clearing wards, shrooms, etc. Afterwards I came up with the idea that instead of making it break when taking damage, make it so it only reveals stealth champions, potentially at a reduced range, depending on your choice or from testing. I feel this works because its currently 100g per person to have a chance to catch them running past the ward, and if its not in a bush then it would just get destroyed right there, requiring the team that placed it to guard it, discouraging pushing/sieging. I feel the oracle lens sweeper has too long a cooldown, unless multiple are bought on a team and then used in coordination with one another, to cover the absence of true vision around champions. I don't think this should affect Akali's shroud, and potentially twitch's stealth (maybe if you could code it that it only reveals him if you see him stealth somehow) as well as any other champion that benefits greatly from counterplay around placing a pink in their vicinity as they stealth. These are just some ideas. It'd be cool to get feedback from others on the forum, as well as riot themselves

I personally think oracles should be brought back in a version where it does not reveal wards and it could also be made so that it is removed upon death like it used to be. It would make buying it mid game expensive if you are behind and only useful vs stealth champs and like Teemo and Shaco. and this would make stealth champs a high risk high reward as you need to kill of the lower priority targets (supports and non-carries) that have it to make your stealth champs effective.
