Should you buy control wards even with sightstone?

As a support main, i've been contemplating buying control wards even with a sightstone because my sightstone tends to run out of charges after deep warding and when the river wards expire and its given the enemy a game-winning ganks sometimes. Even if it doesn't save gold should I buy control wards for the whole laning phase?

Yes. At least after the first back, I've been trying to have one on the map and one in my pocket at all times.

Yes.

So long as you have an inventory slot and gold available, you should be buying Control Wards.

ofc. Why would sightstone be a reason to not get control wards?

The reason I ask is because some guide I read said not to for saving gold, I suppose that's outdated though being from sometime between s3-s4

in season 3, your entire build was wards and in Season 4, you still were to get Vision wards , even moreso now since it is 1 per player. Must be a troll guide by some troll "support" player.

As a support, if you do not have a control ward on map, you should always buy one next time you back with a few exceptions (exceptions are: completing a key item such as sighstone, upgraded sup item, full item; sometimes 2 buscuits early game; late game when you do not have room).

Same goes for other roles too, but exceptions there can be more numerous.
