I'm cool with a support not buying sightstone as long as they buy wards.

I'm cool with anyone not buying sightstone as long as they buy wards.

What I'm not cool with is people who don't buy wards, don't upgrade their trinket, only ward that one bush by their lane with said trinket, and then tell the support to buy sightstone.

I'm seeing so many people have an average of 1 ward every four minutes, which is double the cooldown of your un-upgraded trinket. It's pathetic in ranked games when I ward more than the top and mid laner as the adc. I know I'm not perfect, and I forget to ward too sometimes, but it is not the support's job to ward. And before I get the usual hype about sightstone, I'm seeing an average of 8 wards for every mid and top laner, with the support typically doing half the entire team's warding. That is not okay.

PSA to Bard players: Consider starting W and place health relics in your jungle. Your jungler will love you and it will leave them with more health for early ganks or invades.

Isn't that a PSA to supports?

I have been seeing it on only bards recently. If you are a support that isnt meta like Leblanc or something troll then yeah. But honesty bard is a support class.

You see it on people who want to play a new champion, and next week will be all "NERF BARD, ULT TO STRONK"

It may take longer than a week, but they will. Like clockwork.

LeeSin has a sightstone core, don't require two sightstones in low elo.

http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1765806517/215871025?tab=builds&participant=7 My proof right here. Bard built basically anything he wanted and 30 mins in decided to get a sightstone.

Even without sightstone he still placed 20 wards, compared to the 25 wards combined from everyone else.

If Bard lacking a sightstone was such a big issue, someone on his team should have upgraded their warding trinket. It's 250g (essentially pocket-change after the first item is complete) for what is essentially a sightstone that refills without recalling to fountain and which doesn't take an inventory slot.

Um, he put down 20 wards total, more than his entire team. Almost exactly 50% of his entire team's warding. He could have warded more, but 20 wards in 40 minutes isn't... terrible.

Now, your Nami was on point, but I am sorely disappointed in your warding. Kudos for upgrading your trinket, but warding 9 times in a 40 minute match, and complaining about Bard's warding who warded more than twice you did? Before you complain about supports building a sightstone, you need to work on 1.) using your trinket more often and 2.) buying wards outside your trinket. Now, you were the jungler and your KDA is godlike, but it's still not polite to play the "I'm going to ward once every four minutes but the support has to build sightstone" game.
