Mandrake Ward is a gimmick

The Mandrake Ward is a gimmick that I hope never comes to the rift.

I watch the LCS, and it feels like half the match is spent clearing wards. And only once everything is perfect, the teams try for an objective. It's quite boring actually.

And with the new upgraded trinkets that act like sightstones there are even more wards on the rift to clear. This makes for some boring, stale games with hardly any action at all.

And now, out of the blue, the Mandrake Ward. It's basically a gimmick that appeals to children and trolls, but really, the Mandrake Ward has no place on the rift.

I'm not sure why Riot has gone in this direction of lighting the rift up like a Christmas tree with wards. Did the LCS audience that cheers every time a ward is killed really have that much of an impact on the development of this game? I hope not.

I doubt I'll stop watching LCS games, but all this time spent killing wards is quite boring to me. I guess I'm weird because I don't cheer when a ward is destroyed. I'd much rather see champions fight each other than champions killing wards the entire match.

The Mandrake ward will not encourage or lead to more fighting on the rift. It's going to lead to less action, more ridiculous laughter, and lower quality LCS matches in my opinion.

League of Legends should be renamed League of Ward Killers. So boring.
