Wards as a Buff Indicator

Second time posting this, because I think it warrants discussion. Hopefully, I'll get more than <50 views.

This is something that has been bothering me for a while now. I haven't spoken about it, because I kind of assumed that it would happen on it's own, but it hasn't, so there isn't much point in waiting. I would like to see wards as a "buff indicator." What this would mean is that you can see, where your buffs are, how many wards you have placed on the map (not the upgraded wards, cause there isn't really any point), and a buff duration indicator to tell when your next ward will expire.

I think that doing this would accomplish a couple of things. First, it would encourage warding. Seeing a ward count on your HUD will basically tell new players that warding is an important role in the overall gameplay. Second, it would make it a lot easier to see the amount of wards you have out. You can do this right now, but it's so much more efficient to just be able to see it, kind of like how the smite damage was originally only seen if you put your mouse over the spell, but now, it's a lot easier because the damage is clearly visible. This would accomplish the same thing. It would be much easier for clarity. Also, having the ward duration would also tell you how much time you have until you have to replace a ward. It would be so much easier for supports to do their thing, instead of having to constantly look over at your wards to see how much time it has left.

This wouldn't change anything in terms of gameplay, but it would boost the overall efficiency of warding. Riot, please consider implementing this, or some derivative of this. Thank you so much for your time!
