[ITEM SUGGESTION] SightPebble

Nekusen·Jan 6, 2016·18 votes·747 views

SightPebble - Cost: 400 Gold 50 HP Unique – Warding: Consumes a charge to place a Stealth Ward. Holds up to 2 charges which refill upon visiting the shop.

Upgrades into

Gives less charges, but provides early options, also non-supports can buy them to help with vision and sell it or upgrade it in the lategame.

EDIT: Option 2:

100HP Gives 1 charge per trip instead of 2. Also upgrades into

This would give just an extra ward to use wisely, it would still be another option for non-supports to buy during laning or a good first-back buy for supports.

Rename red sightstone to Sight Boulder then!

Would make more sense to take away the HP as on an early first back I'll get item 1028 for the HP to later upgrade to sightstone - but I like the idea for an early trinket sell for a scanner.

this is a GREAT idea. i've seen more and more junglers (and even some top laners) trying to force sightstone into their builds and it's just not working. would be cool if this thing could build into other items though

The problem is, that would be rather similar to putting green wards back in the game. So Riot won't do it, I guess.

no i doubt riot will revert the vision changes. vision gives you an advantage over the fog of war and is therefore hacking

yea this is a genius kind of idea honestly, gives supports good warding all throughout the game, as you can start with it.

I feel like if this existed, there would be pressure for supports to take it at the start of the game instead of taking one of the S5 support items, and then they would have a lot less gold and fun down the line as a result.

If they want vision to be less restricted early they should just buff the starting stats of trinkets instead and have them scale slower to the PBE maximums.

As an answer to these concerns, i added a second option, which gives only 1 charge but 50 more hp.

you get a bit more gold worth in heath, but wards take longer to outweight the cost.

This could be OP.

Instead, just have Sight Pebble use one charge but never refill. You could lower the cost a bit, maybe just 75 gold.

Treat it like a Doran's, don't have it build into anything, but have multiple Pebbles stack their one time charges.

This could be OP.

Have in mind how much time elapses between the start of the game and the early backs, its kinda long so having 1-2 extra wards (depending on the option) wouldn't really be OP, more considering SightPebble is more fit to be a second item as supports will still want to start with the gold item.

The only position i can see taking SightPebble as a first item in some situation could be a Top tank + 2 potions as he wouldn't require the gold income item. Or perhaps some other player could too in some invade/early aggression scenarios.

WHOOSH

Went right over your head.

Perhaps

This also could be used by non supports in the second back

Sight pebble 150G Offers one vision ward per back

0 stats

This lets supports get thier gold and sight pebble at start for exactly 150g but makes them unable to buy potions due to starting gold

So the support (or laner) can chose between extra vision early, or extra sustain from pots, but with it giving 0 starting stats and only 1 ward per shop visit it doesn't give to much early power

It's a trade off of sustain bs vision

Do you want early power (through sustain) or early safety (through vision)

seems fair
