Why is there no rune that gives you the option to increase the vision effectiveness of wards, and champions? Like increase all sight radius by 10-20% or something

We didn't want to make runes that would feel like a "support tax," or a thing that a team should expect their main vision contributor to pick. There's also very poor communication of vision radius, because we never change it, so the play against case would be poor without a significant amount of work.

Hmm , I see.

That's why you made Zombie ward then.

Zombie ward isnt always taken by supports. They dont always want to go into domination.

I can understand that.

I am not sure if you want to reply to this or not. But I am curious to know, is there way to graph the increase of power every additional % vision gives you?

Like is there a chart to showcase, the coorelation between warding and winning games/kda or something? I am just assuming you have this locked away in a secret cabinet of top secret files if you worked on runes reforged.

Adding onto Fearless' comment giving a champion extra vision range has been problematic in the past. For a while Teemo actually got extra vision range (the whole scout thing) and having a champion who can see you (without wards) before you can see them was problematic gameplay wise. Think about how frustrating Kayn would be if there was no indicator that he was in a wall.

I understand that argument, but that is the exact problem with stealth. So if you were to made a solid case around that point, then by default, stealth champions shouldn't be allowed to do what they do.

I can understand why it could become a frustrating mechanic, because I personally hate Evelynn ganks. My wards are irrelevant since they cant detect her, and if they know where my pink is they can walk around it.

So I don't disagree with it, it just doesn't seem as strong of a case not too imo. But I can also understand not wanting to lock supports into a meta rune page. Cause permanent extra power can change a game.

Isn't this also one of the reasons Feral Flare was broken in the past? From what I remember seeing, it had almost double the ward placement range, which meant that Feral Flare junglers had insane damage, healing, AND vision control all in one item back when it was released in Season 4.
