A Champion Who Can Passively See The Invisible

No but seriously, I think that would be a pretty unique champion, an oracle of some sort. You can definitely see where they would excel, and who against. But if your passive only allows you to see invisible units (for the time being let's exclude wards and focus on invisible champs), that has some drawbacks against people who clearly don't go clear (pun intended).

I'm too lazy to come up with an actual champion concept, the last one I put work into never got noticed. But do you think this would be a cool champion idea? At least the passive? Or do you think it would be too OP?

Personally, I think it would be a bit pointless of a mechanic. Stealth isn't utilized very heavily in League compared to other MOBAs like Dota 2 for example. At most, you are just hard-countering stealth champions that rely on a very situational and gimmicky trick. If it was like Dota where the stealth champions really do have permanent invisibility or stealth that lasts upwards of one minute, it would seem more reasonable as a niche counter champion. It just doesn't seem like it has a place in League.

I feel like it's an interesting idea, but it might be too hard of a counter for some champions while being completely wasted against others...

I think a character who has the passive to see any character but not wards in a bush as a passive would be interesting. Say a big game hunter maybe Rengar teacher perhaps.

But realistically i think the items in used for the alternate maps for visibilty might be a better concrete option. item 3290 item 3185 item 3208 item 3187 They all offer stealth detecting fields and trap detection. Could easy be tuned for SR.

Traps i can see, but this would hard counter eve beyond anything in the game.

Also makes rengars ult worthless.

I can see it for twitch and teemo stealth though

I think it is a cool concept and would be cool for a support. Maybe modify the time it would reveal stealth or based on actions of the character so that it wouldn't be constant.

i like the idea of an oracle champ, but a passive that reveals stealth would be too op

maybe an ability that reveals stealth and gives vision in a small radius, kinda like a short range ashe e would be cool though

if it were a passive, it would have to have some limitation, like it can only detect moving stealth units, but stealthy ppl that stand still are not seen

idk, just my opinion
