So, uh, do all supports still *need a sightstone? How soon to build it and when.

Hey there, Onwodori here.

I used to be a support main and find myself gravitating back to it every once in awhile. - particularly because I feel 60% of other support players rush Needlessly Large Rods and steal kills and farm.

Ahem.

Anyways, the question I am stuck with is 'Does a support *always need to build a sight stone' but now too it is actually:

Do they *need a sightstone in their kit already belies having wards and visions built in + their trinket and

How long, if it is a necessity, can you delay a sightstone?

I'm one of those weirdos that loves to play as a support - he was arguably much better in his last incarnation with lower cooldowns across the board and an AOE attack and movement speed buff, which gave him flat free AD as well, making him the one AD support. Now he has a variable but large AOE slow that reaches 80%~ and wards with said barrels.

So with someone like GP support, as odd as it is - is it more helpful to rush items that make you relevant, like a into an and then perhaps more items that make you strong as an individual or can you max CDR asap and forgo the sightstone?

Obviously in the lower tiers it matters a lot less but, eh.
