Teleporting to a ward and getting a kill should give the person who placed it an assist

I based my response on what he meant, not just what he wrote. You're putting words in his mouth that he didn't use.

The comment was pointing out that Riot has said that they won't give assists from vision because of potential abuse. He even went out of the way to say "vision ability/item/etc" to indicate that he was talking about anything, in general, that gives vision. Assuming he correctly paraphrased what Riot has said, this means their fear of abuse focuses exclusively on the vision component of something like a ward (not the fact that you get it early, otherwise this reasoning wouldn't justify not getting assists for other vision-based things like Ashe's E or Teemo's R).

He even went out of his way to explain that allowing assists due to vision would be OP because it would allow assists from vision-granting abilities such as Ashe's E. Last I checked, you cannot teleport to Ashe's E, meaning that OP's proposal could in no possible way grant assists from Ashe's E, which means that the commenter misunderstood what OP was saying (which is what I was pointing out). His use of examples also implies that his comment was only in response to the possibility of assists solely from vision.

OP explicitly proposed assists to be granted to ward-droppers where someone teleports to the ward and gets a kill. Nobody, anywhere, proposed that a ward-dropper should get assists by virtue of a ward's vision, which makes any argument about assists from vision moot, because that isn't the topic of discussion here.

OP suggested one idea, the commenter argued against a completely different idea that was never proposed, and I pointed out why that was wrong. This is a textbook Straw Man fallacy.

It's not unrelated. It's entirely related.

The simple fact that wards ARE vision is the reason it's an issue.

They are readily accessible by EVERYONE. LITERALLY EVERYONE.

I understand some players may struggle with the concept of comprehension, but try reading what he is meaning, not what he is writing.

Fact is buddy, you read ward. You then read vision. You then immediately disregarded his comment under the basis of "Ummm, actually, it's not EXPLICITLY 100% VISION RELATED COS OP DIDNT SAY SO". It's nitpicking AT BEST

The issue he is pointing out isn't vision granting assists, it's that everyone has (immediate) access to vision, so tying any form of champion kill-assist to them is too easily abusable

Dude, TP is on a 5 minute CD and games last anywhere from 20-50 minutes, meaning at max efficiency it's 10 extra assists in a 50 minute game. That's not even counting TPs that are used for baron plays, TPs used on your own wards, and TPs where you don't kill the person until 15 seconds after you've completed your TP (meaning the assist timer should've timed out by now). Realistically, you're gonna be getting something like an extra 2-6 extra assists per game.

I don't think that's exactly abusable.

Are u high or something? use ur brain Einstein. Since when did u start playing this game a week ago? do u have any concept about the CD of the summoners spells

Wards provide vision but In conjunction with tp the vision that wards provide is irrelivant as they are being used as a jumping off point for as blink not a vision tool in that scenerio.
