Riot, why didn't you post about changing ward revealing duration?

As of the last patch, wards seem to be vulnerable for a second longer than they used to. What happens is the ward goes "invisible" on your screen, but the enemy team still has an additional second to hit the ward to destroy it. This makes warding baron while people are doing it, or trying to ward while being sieged nearly impossible. I'm sure someone will post saying "It has always worked this way", but it honestly hasn't. Any champion can last hit a ward from the time you place it now, which was NEVER the case before. You used to have to play auto-attack reset champs - Leona - or champs with some form of aid in hitting stuff - Shy, Jayce, etc.

Can we please fix this? As a support main, I'm already upset that Riot nerfed oracle lens. The last thing I need is for it to be harder to get vision out for my team.

It's a bug, I think.

I can confirm that this is the case. Wards are getting snuffed out by champs that don't even build attack speed/have autoattack resets. I am actually placing fewer wards than I normally do right now because I don't want my wards getting shot down after I place them.

Yeah... I really did notice this. Was playing Ashe a while back and I could AA the ward to death level 1. . . Free gold don't get me wrong, but it needs to be fixed, used to be if I had 2.0 AS i could kill the ward, but now I don't even need that...

I kept seeing that in the EU LCS today, the Sivir on one team would always activate her ricochet for the AS passive from her ult, and would take it out even after it obviously faded as if invisible.

It could be a bug.

Haha I thought I was losing my mind. "Howd they kill my ward in stealth?!?"

I thought they seemed to stay visible longer, you can get 2 hits off on them now before they disappear pretty consistently
