Midlane needs something new

Hey Everybody ZTZaorish, been playing since season 2. Mostly mid lane, but sometimes support, and occasionally top. Here are my thoughts on Season 6 The new trinkets: So, what's up with these new trinkets, especially the yellow one http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-b9UGSpKvZpE/VjK5c1TzhQI/AAAAAAAAzfw/cDtJAjkfTfI/s1600/db4faec4317fe57487102f22b69a0c53%2B%25281%2529.png This isn't an upgrade, this is a change. There was nothing wrong with the old ward. It was perfect, it was simple, and you had choices on what to upgrade it to. Now you get trinket which slowly generates wards or drops these silly visible blue wards as an "upgrade". Riot took away warding as an investment. Stop dumbing down your game Riot. If we want to buy vision allow us. You already took out green ward completely. Now, all I can do if I want to invest more in vision is buy 1 pink ward....1 .. that is literally all i can put down on the map (excluding my trinket). Obviously before I could put down green wards as well, and my trinket felt let it gave me way more wards way earlier, which was great to push an early advantage, or get extra vision when behind. I know Riot are trying to make it easier for pros to come back in games when they are behind, by limiting warding options, but they went way too far. Put a level limit on green wards, or give me my old trinket back, I can't stand having these 2 half-assed options that do NOT reward us for being smart about the game. Part of league is knowing when to ward up or not. You took this away, and have really dumbed down your game Riot. The subtle advantages keep the game interesting, you shouldn't take it away. Now, moving on to Season 6 Mid lane items. First of all, I am not going to talk about power of mages in mid lane, I am not personally that concerned with this. First mention, why is Zhonyaz, like 1100 gold to upgrade, jesus christ, it takes forever to get and leaves you with so many pieces for so long it is truly obnoxious. Put something in between Zhonyaz and it's components, because this is ridiculous. 2nd, and this annoys me the most. Riot, you re-worked support items so many times again and again. Giving them new and varied choices at least over the last 2 seasons. You have given top lane, and juggernauts new items, you have given the junglers, and ADC's new items and choices. What has midlane gotten in, i don't know...forever? Nothing interesting. If anything you took away DFG, which was fun, and dealt with tanks properly. Instead of Reworking DFG to work on tanks, you removed it. It was a very interesting item, although it wasn't balanced in a way that allowed to fill that tank-killing niche it was suppose to. Figure it out, and bring that item back in the game as a proper tank killing item please, I am tired of seeing all these 5000 hp tanks running around and being able to do nearly nothing about it. The only item that a mage can build is Liandry's and it doesn't even work that well, it just slowly burns them a bit, and also takes forever to build/get. It is designed as a late game item, and buy late game these tanks have massive MR anyways. So, bring back DFG properly, and please, for the love of god give us a new and or interesting mid lane item. Why not an item that is skill shot based, I would love that, it would make the game interesting.

TLDR: New trinkets are very poorly thought out, and don't reward understanding of the game, they reward mindless playing. Midlane hasn't gotten any new interesting items in years. (Luden's is a non interactive and boring joke) Make midlane interesting, because at the moment I sleep at my computer playing mid.
