Making "support" more "Fun"

You guys have tried several times to get more people to want to play support. By "play support" I assume you mean "Not go top laner in bot lane / minimage in bot lane" etc.

How about making sightstone like the Jungle item?

Suggestions :

Make sightstone a basic (not combined) item. Lower the cost, eliminate the health.

Mid tier upgrades : Ruby (adds health, combines with ruby crystal) Sapphire, (adds mana, combines with sapphire crystal) and Regen (health and mana regen, combine with faerie charm and rejuvenation bead) These can be combined with gold items to make the three Eye items (for Equinox, Watchers, and Oasis, respectively)

Full Upgrade sightstones : Healing (combines with Forbidden idol, 10% cdr and an increase to healing bonuses) Damage (combines with Caulfield's Warhammer, 10% cdr and a bonus % to bonus AD) Magic (combines with Fiendish Codex, 10% cdr, bonus % of AP) Protection (combines with Glacial Shroud , 10% cdr and a bonus % to Armor) Magic Resist (combines with Kindle Gem, 10% cdr and a bonus % to MR)

You might place a cap on any of the bonuses to make them less useful to carries, while still allowing gold-starved supports to do some kind of damage

I think a core problem with this is that Sightstone, as an item, is not innately fun, and never will be: it was useful at a time when supports where using up their entire income and inventories for wards, but even then it wasn't genuinely fun to have. Now, we're at a time where sight wards are impossible to buy and everyone gets a free trinket, so Sightstone is merely a burden supports have to shoulder because they're still expected to itemize for vision. I'd say remove it entirely and buff trinkets if there ends up being a vision deficiency in-game: not only would this make supporting a bit more varied, as you'd have an extra item slot and more choice as to which trinket to pick, rather than the standard support + Oracle's combo, but it would also finally end the running issue of blaming the support for the team's lack of vision. Making everyone share equal responsibility for vision means everyone has to participate equally in the vision game, which means no individual player has an excuse anymore not to ward the map or check for enemy vision.

Trackers knife...

Also what you're explaining has nothing to do with support, it has to do with vision.
