[Vision Assists] Granting Partial Assist Credit for Your Vision Control

Twisted Fate. Nocturne. Scrying Orb. Wards.

Vision control is an integral part of a successful game; sometimes far more important than any single carry on your team. But giving that vision doesn't have any direct incentive if you weren't there to be part of the fight no matter how much your 4 wards played a part in that ace.

I'm here to simply propose that they do grant you assists, in a fashion. The concept is simple; if an ability or item of yours grants vision of the enemy, they will be tagged for a Vision Assist that last the same length as an Assist and is granted on their death. Vision Assists will not be worth a whole assist, but after a few (let's say, 3) Vision Assists you will be granted 1 normal plain everyday Assist. These imo wouldn't need to be tracked on the scoreboard (only in the Match History details), you'll just see your Assist count go up every third VA and on the kill announcement your portrait will have either an eye icon or a special border so you can see it happen.

This would merely be to promote use of vision-only abilities and items, so they grant a tangible reward to those who always help their team through vision control but simply aren't there for a fight they actually were central to winning.
