Hypothetically, what if we got rid of Sightstone...

What do you think would happen? Do you think people would lose their minds and the Rift would plunge into chaos? Or, do you think the meta would evolve where individual roles became used to buying/upgrading certain trinkets to help their team win the vision war? Also, since I think it will always be expected of the support to do more than everyone else when it comes to vision, what if there was an option for champions with gold generation items to upgrade trinkets to a third more powerful tier (yellow becoming like the current SS for more ward placement and movement). Just a crazy thought...

I think we'd get a yellow trinket upgrade to make up for it. I've been pushing for that for awhile now.

Supports would just upgrade the yellow trinket and buy pink wards to clear vision.

What about everyone upgrading their trinket and buying a pink here and there to clear vision?

supports become ward bots again. And no reasonable support wants that.

This. I remember the days of having 25 wards + Mobi Boots in my inventory. I.SAW.EVERYTHING.

But was ridiculously squishy and never got to have any nice items.

You could have let me feel a bit good about myself before bringing that to my face again.

Except it's WAAAAY better than before Sight stone, where you had to spend almost ALL of your gold on wards. It was rare to see a support actually finish an item because gold and itemization for them was absolutely terrible.

Trinkets shifted the focus of wards more onto the team than support, of course there are still some people that are stuck in the mentality that it's solely the support's job (even though 250g practically gets you to the 3 ward cap for the rest of the game as long as you are active in warding, and it's not that hard to do.)

People like my friend would be very sad because she likes using sightstone and red trinket. People like me would get over it because we like using upgraded yellow and just buy pinks.

Sightstone is an outdated concept from S3 now that trinkets are so much more powerful. Tbh, I wouldn't mind buffing trinkets more with a few changes and just outright remove wards as an item.

Well, you would pretty much have to give up an item slot to have 3 wards in it at all times, which you would have to buy every time you go back to base, and then another slot for pinks

So in other words, supports revert to season 2/3 (whenever it was) where they spent all of their gold on wards.
