I was playing with my Amumu ward skin yesterday and found out that when I placed the trinket ward down, it made the classic "ding" sound instead of his voice. But when you place the Pink Ward down, the noise functions properly. (I tested this earlier, and i was right)
Is this a bug or intentional?
Thanks,
Riotmoonstones1 votesHiya NoPunInTenDid,
This is actually intended for gameplay purposes. The custom ward SFX will only be played with wards from Sightstones or pink wards.
Thales2 votesWhat gameplay purpose does that serve?
Riotmoonstones2 votesThe sound indicates if it's a trinket or a ward, which can then be used to determine the amount of time the enemy team will have vision of a particular area.
Wisenheimer1 votesYou may need to bring up whether this is actually relevant anymore then. Considering conventional wards were removed entirely, a support and "some" junglers will be the only people who have a possibility of overlapping their trinket wards and a normal ward due to SS purchase, and most if not all supports should be trading their trinket for oracles the second they have SS. The distinction between placement sounds doesn't seem important anymore since it should be obvious what was placed.
LegendaryLemur2 votesSeems to me the sound for a trinket vs a pink is still different, which would apply in plenty of scenarios.
Wisenheimer1 votesFrom what I've read though, the sound overlaps between sightstone and Pinkward. The only reason trinkets had different sounds from what I can tell from Katey's post is that it was due to trinkets have a lower cd/time placed than normal wards (nothing between normal wards and pink wards). Since trinkets are now the only way to place normal wards aside from SS this seems irrelevant.
LegendaryLemur1 votesHmm not sure i understand what you are saying. Even if you can't differentiate between a SS ward and a pink, you should still be able to tell btwn a yellow trinket ward and a pink by sound, right?
Wisenheimer1 votesThe fact that knowing who placed the ward (ie. support or someone else) should be all the information a person needs to determine the length of the ward. A pink is visible. You can tell by looking at it, why would you need to tell by sound?
LegendaryLemur1 votesThey could be placing it across a wall from you or inside of a brush where you don't currently have vision.
