Can We Make Sweepers Work On Pink Wards

Currently the sweeper in the game does the following:

Summons a drone at the target location for 6 seconds (400 / 600 range). The drone reveals and disables all invisible traps and wards within an 400 / 600-unit radius. (120 / 75 second cooldown).

This is how it works on Green wards and Yellow Trinket, but it does not currently work on Pink Wards.


This means that if you sweep a bush and it doesn't reveal anything, there could still be a pink ward in there and it is neither revealed or disabled, this means that a sweeper on a pink ward is unless.


I think that if we made the upgraded sweeper which currently does:

Summons a drone at the target location for 6 seconds (600 range). The drone reveals and disables all invisible traps and wards within an 600-unit radius. (75 second cooldown). Additionally, your champion gains true sight for 10 seconds.

Now if you read that you will see it says:

Disables all invisible traps and wards within an 600-unit radius.

However the sweeper does not work on pink wards, so this is really miss leading as you think you can use it on pink wards to disable them and reveal them, however this does not work,


I suggest a simple change to the "Oracle's Lens" that makes it work on Pink wards as well as all other wards, this would make the sweeper slightly better and add some counter play to pink ward for a short time and all you to destroy it and get past it without may issue.

It makes sense as that's what the item says it does, when it really doesn't, so it would be nice if it could be changed match what the actual tooltip says it does.

Sweeper is already strong. I think they like to have somewhat of a counter to it.

Thing is, if Akali needs to disable a pink with the sweeper, she'd be sacrificing her own team's vision by giving up the yellow trinket. So yes, while she would have a counter to it, her capability to countering it would come at a huge cost for her team.

But you can already see and kill pinks, unless you were referring to disabling the vision it gives.
