If wards gave some clue that they were there, if they telegraphed their presence, then we wouldn't need a 'warded' ping. And if wards telegraphed themselves, they could afford to grant vision in more interesting, powerful ways and even be FREE. And players wouldn't need a specitic anti-ward counter-item, because the way you counter such wards is to use the information they give to avoid them entirely, i.e. actual stealth gameplay. http://b-i.forbesimg.com/erikkain/files/2013/03/ground_zeroes_snake-e1364431963760.jpg _Imagine, a stealth game where the things you're trying to sneak by can't be seen. _

that's a really terrible idea.

Do you mean something like the ward debris? If someone managed to get it in the right spot of balance (Subtle and hard to see but not impossible) I think it could work but it would be hard to find the sweet spot. I do, however, agree with the idea of more interesting wards, I think there is a lot of potential with vision.
