Players given credit for kills made off their wards - Good idea?

I know this would be extremely hard to implement but wouldn't it be cool if players got points when a kill results from their ward having spotted someone? It would actually make players (support players especially) who are good at winning the vision game that much more valuable.

I realize that fantasy football has this issue too, where players go unrecognized (I'm thinking of linemen and such) for their invaluable contributions to their team's victory. It's just an unfairness that I've always had a pet-peeve about. Here's to the unsung heroes of sports and esports!

If you can't give a solid rule for "this did this, which resulted in this", then no, it's a bad idea. It's the same idea with trying to give awards for "saved from dying". Who's to say they wouldn't have lived without your intervention?

One of the wonderful aspects of eSports is that the referee is completely neutural and makes the same call for both teams. What you're proposing would require human analysis to look over the play (and the audio chat) and guess what wards helped and which wards didn't. It's so horribly inefficient that it's not worth having.
