Thoughts?
Like general consensus from what I have seen is tank supp's should get it, but mage supports are starting to just get the upgraded yellow trinket and use pinkwards for clearing.
Idk. I feel like sighstone's ward supply is too good to pass up.
ZACKandATTACK4 votesDon't listen to your low elo teammates. They don't know what they are talking about. Sightstone plus oracle's is way better than upgraded stealth trinket. It is so much better to be able to put down 3 wards for objectives rather than placing two wards and having to wait. Also sweeper gives supports free gold and allows them to get better vision control.

is the only way, young padawan.
Bern2 votesSightstone is a large upfront gold investment for lots of wards later. tl;dr: buying greens and pinks keeps more of your money now, possibly losing you some in the long run, while sightstone takes a lot of your money now, but saves you that money in the long run.
In most forms of play and on most supports, sightstone is better. If you're playing an off-meta mage like LB or Syndra, I'd get yellow trinket and buy pinks (and that's also considering you only want to play those supports at an elo where you can get away with it).
AtheosisX2 votesUpgraded yellow trinket is for non-supports. If a support uses only that for their ward supply they are a bad support.
Marthian1 votesConsidering an upgraded yellow trinket lets you have 3 wards on the map, not really. I've gotten away with it all the time (not to mention the gold I saved on SS I get to use to help get more kills for my ADC.)
Marthian2 votesBasically because it's way cheaper (supports have gotten better access to gold, but are still very starved for it) and generates wards while roaming (I've roamed as support for well over 5 minutes, which eventually SS will run out and I will have to back. Quite often, the items you can get by skipping SS help out a lot more than those wards (I skip SS on Zyra and it gives our lane so much more kill potential.)
Edit: That and there's a huge lack of variety for SS. There's only an HP option, which while tank supports are ok with it, other supports would rather get something such as mana, AP, or other stats that actually benefits them (Soraka doesn't really like it either.) If you get caught out as Zyra, Soraka, or Sona, 150 HP isn't really going to do you much good. I don't even bother with any defensive stats on Zyra (save Zhonyas) because I'll be dead regardless of defensive stats. There really isn't an issue with other roles building SS anyways considering how gold/slot inefficient it is and yellow trinket upgrade is just way better.

Marthian1 votesA lot of recent posts. Notably because trinket upgrades are so good.
Davy Crockett1 votesThis is basically the only reason supports get a sightstone and scanner, but I always get sightstone and ward if I'm supporting, even if im a mage.
