On one hand, shieldballs have been continuously nerfed to the point where I find them unviable in 1v1.

On the third hand, countering the shieldball with more general counters is simply a matter of avoiding fighting the shieldball and then concentrating your forces to destroy the shieldball in one go when you have enough forces.

So in a uncoordinated teamgame, this might make you feel helpless against a shieldball, because countering it, requires teamplay.

Building up a shieldball is boring because because it makes you relatively weak in the beginning of the game and you basically have to hide behind your teammates so you don't get overrun by several enemy players.

In the midgame, if someone goes for dedicated counters, they can still attrition your shieldball if they go for dedicated counters like cloaked Snitches and Likhos. Every time you expose your shieldball you risk getting blown-up.

On the fourth hand, if you don't have dedicated counters, and not a big enough army to fight a shieldball, you are simply helpless against it and you need help from your teammates to counter it.
