Riot earlier this year: "We don't want Ruby Sightstone to feel like an upgrade that's needed to be rushed for supports"
Riot on PBE: Lets remove one stack from Sightstone and give the one stack back with the Sightstone upgrades so they will be forced to upgrade to take it to make Sightstone worth it in comparison to the upgraged trinket (Which is now free).
Also limits the support mage's itemization by removing twin shadows. Now they have to choose Vision or Utility. Meanwhile Tank support items still all provide tank stats no matter which way you go.
#Vision controll is not only about providing vision, but also denying it!
Aye, but now we have the option to forgo our support item active to save an item slot.
Wouldn't do that for talisman, but might be worth it on FQC.
At least we can make choices now with what we do with it, rather than sightstone just being... there.
You are forgetting that trinket will now standard have 2 charges. That is an awesome upgrade. All this does is allows supports extra options for build paths and it is a really good plan really. I can't wait to start building Eye of the Watcher on my AP supports.
