New sightstones are unrewarding...

@Riot I still don't understand why the needed sight-stone change. It feel more like a punishment than anything else. Forget about past items, they're gone I get it. My question is why do the new item not reward good play?

The last few games that I played support I was able to collect a few assists/kills quite quickly. Then came the problem, my teams success could not be rewarded with improved vision at the 5 minute mark. I had to wait until the 9 minute mark for my quest to finish and my item to evolve. My opponents, who got demolished in lane, got their vision around the 9 minute mark as well.

Granted, I had other items earlier, but we were stalled by the mechanics of the new vision items. For four minutes we had to sit and poke. We couldn't push simply because we didn't have the necessary vision control.

Now the support role, as it currently stands, is forced to have this low slot efficiency item, but cannot make use of that item until the 9 minute mark regardless of their early success. It's not a free 800 gold item, because everyone gets it roughly the same time. These new items feel like a punishment and need to be reworked or reverted...
