Instead of trying to improve this item, just remove stupid sightstone from game.

let supps(and occasional jungler) actually have freedom to build...

just improve trinks so they are the go to ward source for all, do what you must to make it work like lower the level to upgrade it to 5 or something, maybe with an additional upgrade available at lvl 10 for extra/longer/faster wards. don't worry carries will still avoid it like the plague because they need damages super bad.

an entire role should not be based on buying sightstone and being the teams excuse to not buy wards or upgrade totems.

no more ward bots, let supports live...

you havent really understood the concept of the support role have you? the support is the SUPPORT and therefore doesnt get fed resources. he is supposed to initiate teamfights, protect his carries and prepare vision control to siege or get objectives and prevent his lanes from dying. if you dont WANT to, you dont HAVE to build sightstone on supports, but the reason everyone does so is because it is incredibly USEFUL and not because other people dont want to buy wards. in high elo games youll see teams with 2 sightstones still have yellow trinkets and buying wards. removing sightstone would piss 95% of supports off incredibly, and for a good reason.

I buy sightstone on health-based top picks, and occasionally even mid if it's a half hour in and our support still hasn't built it.

I feel utterly helpless without a reliable way to ward, so no, as a support main, I really don't want to see the removal of sightstone. The only supports that don't like sightstone are the people that shouldn't be playing support in the first place.

Why don't you upgrade your trinket in solo lanes instead of wasting 800 gold and an item slot?

Because level 9 comes too late for that, and you need sweepers on your team.

I agree with this. Why should a support be the only one to truly have to ward in this game? There are only 3 wards per player. Every player should be warding. I'd support the removal of sight stone all day every day if it meant everyone else had to let go of this "am curri, lel nu nud wards, fken suppurt nut wardin muh tup laen frum butt laen" mentality.

news flash, support is the least preferred role for a reason. being a ward bitch is one of the main reasons.

my point is to make warding a team theme instead of just supp.

doesn't matter that ppl don't have to buy it, it's still a toxic item that most non supps flame people for not getting and causes problems in team moral.

screw your mini support guides, I want to make this role more favorable, and flavorful, yall just want poor ward bitches that sacrifice themselves for baddies who get caught.

Vision needs to be an investment. Taking away the monetary value of wards turns it into a chore rather than strategy. Removing sightstone just means that supports will have to buy lots of stealth wards before level 9 and won't improve their quality of life at all, except that later in the game they'll have fewer wards because upg. trinket only has 2. Only takes ~5 wards before sightstone pays for itself in gold.
