Consumable sweeper/replica to stealth ward.

Not sure if this gameplay and balance is the right section but I think this would be a good addition to league. We have a ward trinket, sweeper trinket. Greater stealth totem and oracles lens. We also have a CONSUMABLE stealth totem for 75g. Why can't we have a consumable sweeper? I was thinking it could be 50g due to the unreliability of the item versus its counterpart. Just gonna make it short and sweet, not sure what else to add; although I think it's a great idea. What do you guys think?

I would probably say that's unlikely. partially because teams would have to be even fewer windows of vision denial. (considering a team with 5 sweepers would have almost no down time in combined vision denial) This is important when Drag/Baron is the only place actually worth sweeping. It could also be problematic early game when your support could afford one or two, and the enemy only has 5 trinket wards.

It's a delicate balance. But it could also be unnecessary, considering a pink ward could also deny a ward, and helps clear out other future wards, while granting vision.

That's an interesting idea.

It might not happen because if it ends up being meta that supports use up all their gold spam buying those it would be less fun for support players.

Ima just propose another random idea. What if instead of a sightstone there was a "sweeper stone" alternative. Of course you would probably be limited to buying one or the other. TBH I don't think it's a great idea.

well there would have to be some stuff worked out but i don't see how it couldn't be implemented. the upgrade stealth totem has a charge time, the sweeper could also have this obviously. maybe even longer. also there could be a limit on how many people on your team could have it? i don't know just throwing out ideas. really think it would be a cool addition to the game

They should make it cost 100g but because its so expensive it could stay out for longer....maybe even forever. No. forever would be op. maybe until an enemy found it an attacked it 5 times.

Yeah, That would be a really useful item.
