An idea for adding utility to Ruby Sightstone

What if Ruby Sightstone had a passive like this-

"Unwarded brush (800 range around your champion) has a glittering red particle effect if it contains enemies or visible enemy traps." (visible enemy traps would be like Caitlyn's, Nidalee's, that you can see in the open, not like Teemo's or Shaco's which are only visible with pink ward or red trinket.)

It would add a bit of safety to warding in your own brush when you're behind, without being so op that it could be abused.

I know people have a lot of really interesting utility ideas for Ruby, so if you have any - feel free to leave them below! :)

Edit - And I just remembered some champions have the ability to become invisible, so perhaps this utility shouldn't work on invisible champs? It might be too strong against assassins. I'm not sure though.

Not sure if you saw this, but they haven't buffed Ruby Sightstone vision-wise because if it became a good upgrade, it would be mandatory for supports to rush, which delays them from buying what they want. They want Ruby Sightstone as a upgrade option AFTER you've completed the rest of your build.

Sightstone does need some work though, such as possibly being cheaper, having more options for stats (such as an AP, armor/mr, or mana option.), and recharge wards while roaming (At times, I wish I had yellow trinket upgrade just because of that. Backing to refill wards sucks, especially when lots of objectives are being contested rapidly.)

agree with marthian, they should give item 2049 different options and better stats, it gives laughable hp and it isnt worth upgrading into item 2045 options like: violet sightstone: 5-10% CDR crimson sightstone: (more hp) cerulean sighstone: mana/mana regen jade sightstone: AP
