Ruby Sightstone

Twinnstars·Jan 2, 2015·7 votes·932 views

So this has bothered me since I started playing league; supports essentially only have four inventory slots, one devoted to boots, and one to a sightstone. This inherently makes supports weak lategame, as they have a slot taken by a very weak item. What I propose is making ruby sightstone a rather large investment and make it have good stats; doing so would make having a sightstone more viable in general, which would in turn make players of all skill levels care more about vision control. The recipe could be something like as follows.

+ + + + + 250g =

I would love to get a discussion started on this, because as is ruby sightstone is an, excuse my language, piss-poor item.

I can be more simple:

item 2049 + item 3108 = Sightstone A + item 3114 = Sightstone B + item 3067 = Sightstone C

Than:

item 3096 + item 3070 = item 3069 item 3097 + item 2053 = item 3401 item 3098 + item 3113 = item 3092

This way whe get proper build options for the sightstone while further improving the support playstyles.

That's actually a pretty cool idea for the three sightstones, but I don't think the buildpaths for item 3401 item 3069 item 3092 need to be changed

These are the 3 main support items. If they REALLY want people to ward. Make the sightstone take over these items. Keep them entirely the same and lower the price of the sightstone. Then when you have your sightstone you can upgrade to one of these items that is COMBINED with your sightstone, essentially you get this item with an extra active to place a ward. Dont know how that would work maybe they would make a certain key for just wards but It seems perfect to me.

That wouldn't really work though, as then they would each have two actives.

thats why I said there should be a certain key for just wards

I smell an edit. Anyway I think it would be cool if buying a sightstone just added on to your trinket slot or something

FadedpfJan 2, 20151 votes

Yes I did edit, I thought it over again, that would also be nice too

None of those other suggestions would work:

Reducing the price of the sightstone 400 gold would make it to popular in solo lanes
Reducing the price of the sightstone 600 gold would make it to gold effiënt without reducing the amount of available wards to a point you are to forced to upgrade on a time it will reduce your effectiveness pretty hard what makes the item really snowbally and that's not really whe want in that situation right now.
Varry the primary build patch to a item like , , , , , . It compleetly removes the connection between the sightstone.
Item that boost was an solution that has been discussion serveral times. This was been suggested serveral time but it is hard to ballance out this solution while still remaining the same power curve from the original .

Beside all that, It was already been tested that every support will need some kind of hp in his build to be able to peel add some point in the midgame. This will mean that the item 2049 was never useless in the current state of the game.

If you see this, take a moment to be amused at how close we got to actually being correct.

Fuck. If ruby sightstone gave me defenses from wardens mail, cowl and HP. Id buy one as a Jungler

Who are you, lee sin? Anyhow that's kinda the point. Why is vision - one of the most important aspects of the game- so incredibly hard to utilize without falling behind statwise.

FadedpfJan 2, 20151 votes

No, that would be pretty broken on tanksin. I usually play Vi and Irelia. jungle item, 1 offensive item, then full tank. I can play any role and hate when supports dont take their time to ward key areas if they clearly have the wards to do it. Something like this would make me Buy a sightstone, doesnt even matter if I buy it early game because wards early game and mid game are OP. Id like this tanky ward Item for keep my team save and counter gank, etc

Again- what's wrong with people being able to buy sightstone and it being a viable item lategame? Lee sin is overdue for a nerf anyways, so he doesn't really come into consideration. Imagine if this item was a thing - if you were a top laner and no one was buying wards, you could invest in a sightstone and still be useful. Even midlaners could pick it up as their tank item.

I'd like to see it get the hunter's machete treatment. There are different types of supports, and being able to customize the upgrade stats of the sightstone would make even more support champs viable. I love the enchantment system, except for cinderhulk being OP right now, and a similar system would make support a more dynamic position as well.
