Make it So Sightstone Allows You To Have 1 Extra Ward on the Map at a Time

People don't want sightstone upgraded so that supports are relied on for warding. They want it upgraded because supports are already relied on for supporting still, and buffing their items would make that easier. I'm not saying this is the way to go about it or that it needs to be done, but that's why people want this.

Because my team doesn't ward anyways. Adding just 1 extra ward to sightstone won't revert support back into a ward bitch because the limit is still crippling enough. At least 70% of the income isn't going into wards like it was in the past. Late game having just three wards is annoying because you need to place 1 on baron, so really you only have 2 wards to see where the enemy is going.

Sightstone is currently only gold efficient because it lasts all game. As far as lategame goes though, having 4-5 wards you can place at a time is nice but the slot adds nothing else aside from some health. As primarily a support player, I would -love- to have an additional ward from Ruby Sightstone so that there was an actual reason to buy it aside from "well my other slots are full, I guess I better upgrade this mandatory ward generating item I have to buy to be an effective support"

You mean junglers aren't the back up ward bitch?

mostly because all the rest of the team have full items and oracles (except adc that have the blue thing) so nobody can buy wards any more and the support only can use 3

Do you get it ? and SUPPORTS are for that reason to ward the map and to support the team

Its like saying "what do you want the top lane to be the tank bitch again?"

Some roles are in the map to do their stuff

how does this buff lee? Lee doesn't benefit in any way from having an additional ward on the field, aside from the vision his team gets from it, and this isn't really a direct buff to Lee (just to junglers who build sightstone in general). It's like implying that it was somehow a Katarina buff because having more wards is more useful? Lee doesn't really care about ward cap when it comes to ward jumping.

that never existed.

Yes it did have that limit in the past, but there was no limit on number of wards placed on the map at that time. Essentially if the current sight stone existed then you could place all the sight stone wards, back to fill the sight stone, and then place them all again and have 8-10 wards out w/ no gold spent. It would be broken as fuck. They removed the limit I believe when they limited the number of wards a player would place.

The reason people have apparently been down voting you is bc this change to sight stone either makes the item useless or nerfs support itemization/gold income. There are 2 situations that happen if you limit SS wards to 2: 1) now instead of gold item+ss+basic boots+red trinket being rushed before a support can choose anything else you add ruby ss to that and charge the support 75 gold per 3 min between completing ss and completing ruby ss so supports have even less choice in item builds 2) ruby ss rush isn't efficient enough so supports build upgraded yellow and just buy pinks/greens/combat stats to fill in. No one has red trinket to deny vision so objectives like dragon and baron become easier to contest and everyone has to play safer.

Vision is always going to be something in League of Legends that focuses more on a supporting role.

Only as long as Riot makes people choose whether to spend the same resource on vision OR stats. That's what forces you to have some players who cripple their own champions to provide vision to everyone else. Without that, supports would still have somewhat less income than other roles, but the differences in effective power would shrink when they can spend what gold they do get on actual items.

As it stands, there is no reason to buy Ruby sightstone, and no reason for it to exist. It needs to be removed or reworked.

This part I agree with, sort of, but regular sightstone and consumable wards are actually just as unhealthy for the support role. Much like flash for most champions, having one "option" be too good makes it not an option at all, reducing the amount of meaningful choices and alternatives actually open to you.

Trinkets are a better approach to vision because they are a completely separate resource -- everyone has a trinket slot that can only be used for trinkets and doesn't conflict with anything else, and everyone gets 1 second of trinket recharge per second, regardless of whether they are a last hitting role or not. They're not completely balanced against each other, but at least you're not giving up regular items to get them.

Ruby's lackluster benefit over regular sightstone is actually good, because it means you aren't forced to complete it ASAP, so it mitigates the burden.
