Greater Totem (250G) is better than Sightstone (800G)
Here's my opinion, I think that nowadays Greater Stealth Totem (Trinket) is a lot better than Sightstone.
Sure, you can only upgrade it once you are over level 9, but: It only costs 250G It can recharge (only 60 secs with each wards lasting 3mins) without going back to base
If you buy yourself a Ruby Crystal, you basically have the same benefit as the Sightstone (Total 650G compared to Sightstone 800G.
I would love if Riot can buff the Sightstone. After all, Sightstone is taking "item slot" and it shouldn't let us feel it's WEAKER than the Totem that takes "Trinket" slot.
I know that Riot doesn't want it to be an overwhelming upgrade. http://www.reddit.com/r/leagueoflegends/comments/2vkmd2/ruby_sightstone_should_recharge_wards_over_time/coj0ark (I didn't read everything)
My suggestion is: give the Sightstone unique passive that can only be "activated" if you have Gold income item!
Here's the example: Ruby Sightstone, Unique Passive: If user possesses Talisman of Ascension, the user will gain something something (be it AP, AD, Health, Aura or whatever)
As long as the Unique Passive only activate with a** fully upgraded gold income item**, I don't think it will be "main on another type of character."
