Sightstone gains a charge after kill / assist

daysthatendinday·Apr 15, 2017·23 votes·710 views

As a support main in low elo, I wanted to get a feel for what people would think about this change to Sightstone. I think this would help to make taking a follow up objective after an early kill more viable, seeing as how in low elo there is a tendency to be a shortage of wards. Or do you think that it would be unbalanced, and would better be served as a unique passive only on Ruby Sightstone / Eye Combines? Or maybe even as an add on to the Dangerous Game Mastery to regain a charge on your trinket?

Similar ideas have been posted and this one is really no different. It just snowballs the vision game harder than it already does. Winning teams already have more warding/clearing opportunities than the losing team.

This idea in particular would actually be really OP because it would basically refresh all charges every skirmish.

I second this, the sole reason why green wards were removed was because the winning teams support just skipped all items and just bought vision.

People underestimate the value one ward more ore less on the map can have, and to be fair, it wouldn't change anything in low elo, the map will still be freaking dark, but in high elo, suddenly the winning support never has to back, since he can just sustain his ward stacks every now and then.

I wouldn't mind if Ruby Sightstone worked off of a recharge system of "Every 3-5 minutes restock 1 ward". Doing this on Ruby Sightstone would give people a reason to buy it over one of the support item variants.

i think its a bad idea... It'll just increase the snowball, not in low (very) elo tho

I think it'd need to be specific to Ruby or Eye of the (x) if it were a thing at all. I don't see it as unbalanced, myself. Win a trade, get some better wards up, b.

So it further snowballs the advantage to the winning team.

Do you think before you post?

No more snowballing. Fuck that shit.

This would give a Lee sin even more mobility. Plus more snowballing. I really wish this idea could work, but the other implications from it make it not worth it for balance
