Interaction with wards.
I have been playing league for about over a year now and wards are something I still do not understand. They give the map vision and they give us knowledge even with no one spotted on it. But what I don't understand is when wards are more than just wards. Here are the examples I know from the top of my head. Am I just stupid and are wards actual units like monsters, minions, champions or what?
-
Wards can heal you with "life steal". Why honesty, how much "damage or life steal" do I need to be healed more? This is a mechanic I don't understand. Its nice to abuse as an ADC or fighter but honestly shouldn't be there.
-
Wards can be hopped to by certain champions.
are the ones I know. This is also problematic it adds more mobility to their kits which is unfair. I have been "outplayed" too many times from a Lee or Jax ward hopping and getting away with no health at all. What also doesn't make much sense is that 
cannot hop to wards. If its a mechanic on the champions above, make it a mechanic on people with targeted hops like Braum. Or 
for another example. -
Wards can be burned by red buff. It has no effect but its pretty pointless to have the ability to be burned but have no affect at all.
-
Wards can be critically striked. Same as the red buff, does nothing, pointless use of rng.
-
Wards can be used to get stats on certain champions.
Q stackable. 
Health from w passive. These are the permanent ones I know theres also passives like 
and that stack attack speed. (not sure how I feel about nasus stacks or sion stacks, its not really over powered.) -
And the last and the most healthy mechanic is that wards can be hit with auto attack modifiers.
Those are a list of some. I like this mechanic. You can 2 shot wards as Shyvana or quickly kill one as Wukong or anyone with an auto attack reset. This is a good mechanic because its not making the ward more than a ward. Just adds more ability to deny vision.
Please tell me if I missed any and tell me what you think about wards being more than just wards. The life steal and ward hop aspect should be removed in my opinion but I doubt it.
