Idea for Sightstone/Oracle Lens

I support often, and every game I rush item 2049 . A wonderful item with only one (albeit big) drawback: it has 4 charges, but you always want 3/3 of your wards placed. These charges do not refresh unless you recall, so after one or maybe two warding journeys, you're out of wards. There are times I'm tempted to just grab item 3361 because at least it has refreshing charges, but of course support should usually buy item 3364 /item 3341 to deny vision to enemies. The sweeper keeps a tally of all wards removed, which is nice, but what if removing an enemy ward using sweeper added one charge to your Sightstone?

TL;DR Sightstone charge system is kind of meh, why not have sweeper give you one charge to the stone for each enemy ward you remove?

I think a change is needed, but I don't like this idea because it relies on 2 items being used together. I sometimes get item 3362 instead of item 3364 if I notice my team isn't warding very well, for example. What I would do is quite simply to give item 2045 another charge whenever one of your wards decays. That way they still regenerate, but you can't use them forever while in combat due to placing wards when you already have 3/3 placed. It would also provide a better reason to upgrade sightstone.

not a bad idea. it would make the sightstone a little more handy as well. I know that a lot of the time I will sell the sight stone as it gets to later in the game because other than vision its pretty much useless. possibly a slightly larger hp bonus would be nice when you upgrade or a small hp bonus before the upgrade and lose one of the charges
