My biggest concern with Season 10 changes

Vision.

Maybe its just because I'm a support main... but our current vision mechanics are barely sufficient for the current state of the game. The map is borderline too dark as it is... and in the coming season, you're making it harder. Between the new bushes, the new terrain changes caused by the elemental rift, and the alcoves in the side lanes... vision is going to be at a greater premium than ever. And you're making it impossible to have two vision items(not that it was easy as is)

Please, Riot, throw us a bone. Give us some means to have more vision as a team.

Obviously, few people want to go back to the era where supports did nothing but buy wards and ward the entire map - that's not a healthy state. But there needs to be a balance between 'nobody sees anything' and 'everyone sees everything'... and the CURRENT state of the game is almost too dark, so don't push it further in that direction.

Starting with removing item 3147... (Or add a counterpart that creates vision.. ah wait.. there was, but we remove those...)

Actually I think it being too dark is a result of player behavior rather than game mechanics. I realized this by watching worlds. As it is, they have SO MANY WARDS everywhere. SO MANY. So it's not a lack of availability of wards, but rather, players not knowing how to use them.

3 wards is all supports have, rest of team buys sweepers and blue trinket.... Only solution is 1 pink for every member to have 8 wards on the map! This we see in pro play but in a real game pinks are rarely bought... more in higher elos. They should make pinks auto buy on basing (free) this way everyone uses pinks!

Warding in bot lane will be nearly impossible with 3 bushes and an alcove. It will be a nightmare to deal with any JG that knows how to play and the already atrocious state of bot lane will just get worse and worse. Riot hates strategy and tactics though... So may as well make it even more like Call of Duty rather than a MOBA.
