But, people didn't like how counterspelling used to work because it was difficult and clunky, so instead it's just a spell now. Easy. Simple. Yet, throws suspension of disbelief into the wind.
Maybe the default way to interrupt spells, and spell like effects that aren't spells, shouldn't just be a different spell to begin with.

Heck the only one real option for this is on a misnamed ranger subclass( monster hunter) and that is only available after level 10 with the last two features.
