So there is currently no way to effectively counter stealth champs like Evelynn or Kha'zix

Night Vision goggles

  • 40 magic resist
  • 2% tenacity +300 hp -10 vision range

passive: "always ready": take 7% less damage from champions who are camouflaged or just exited stealth for 2 seconds (cant happen to the same target for 50 sec) active: "night vision" reveal all cameoed, stealth, or invisible units within a 250 unit range, including those in brush.( 180 sec CD)

item 3140 1300 item 2049 800

  •                  300
    

                    2400

this would be most useful for support champs or adc who live in constant fear of a invisble gank or as a counter to champs like blitz, who just hide in the bushes and spam abilities. As a little way to balance this item further, it would also slightly reduce the users normal vision cone.

Creativity: 4 / 7 - Decent premise of an idea, just way too niche. Design: 1 / 5 - This item is way too niche to use since a small percentage of champions actually use stealth. It's also not too effective on supports since they usually don't travel without a group, and assassins won't attack a) a group of enemies (at least, they won't succeed) or b) a tank supp like Blitz. Balance: 0 / 3 - What are these stats? 2% Tenacity won't do anything. -10 vision range is 100% useless as well; we're talking about hundredths of a second here. Explanation: 1 / 3 - Eh, it's somewhat there. Could elaborate much more. Formatting: 1 / 2 - Messy.

TOTAL: 7 out of 20 Good luck!

Ok so first of all, control wards exists, use them to reveal Evelynn. We don't need new items for it.

Second, the item is extremely situationnal. You don't play against stealthed champion every game.

Third, do you realize how weak this item is? "Reveal all champions in a 250 radius range"? It's not even half the average range of marksmen. And on who is this item supposed to be build on? These stats are clearly for tanky champions, the one less considering assasins as a threat. And a 50 seconds CD for a situationnal 7% damage reduction? Heck, I wouldn't even want it for free.
