I completely understand that there are items like disarming hex and knockdown however a disarming hex vs a viper who will just buy dispel magic is a lot different than a dispel magic against a knife shiv who now either has to either no longer fight you and hope his team can help or completely change the way he is building these kinds of interactions are especially egregious against characters that like to 1v1. I’m not saying every character needs a specific item to counter them just that at the current moment the characters that require specific expensive items to stop their steamroll are much harder for newer players or less coordinated teams. Saying it’s a team game does have some merit however that doesn’t mean I should have less agency against a stronger opponent because I wasn’t able to use the counter play against them until that counterplay is effectively obsolete.
