We really need a way to get more wards for our sightstone

I'm sure many people can agree that mid/late game when you're support with your sightstone and your sightstone is outta charge is the worst. Backing for more can either get an ally killed being left on their own if they aren't careful, the entire team dies or you just miss a lot of exp.

I don't mind the 3 wards max out but we really should have a way that replenishes the sightstone wards without backing

One idea that seems interesting is destroying enemy wards gives one ward for your sightstone

This would even help getting more of a incentive for lower tier supports to clear enemy wards as well as they would need to start doing it, giving them just a little more gold income and more interesting matches, really.

Maybe am just dumb though

Totally agree, when ever i play support i feel like i will always need more vision everywhere.

Or just replenish after a set duration like the yellow trinket.

i like your idea but a support isnt the only one suppose to be warding every one should buy item 2043 there should be 5 on the map at any given time and combined with regular trinket wards and item 3462 should never be a lack of vision

I feel like giving 1 charge per ward kill is bad for competitive play because vision control is everything. Supports wouldn't need to recall as often to recharge their sightstones which creates this stalemate in the mid-late game. Supports recalling to recharge sightstones is a tactic that can make or break some games in the late game because you can't make the best decisions without vision control. In terms of ranked, I think its a good idea. But for competitive play, its bad at least for the viewers.

I usually build the advance visions item for the extra ward and this has helped a lot. I usually have one pink in my inventory and one on the map. I back pretty frequently for vision control and place approximately 40 wards per game in the average game, 60 in long ones and usually 28-30 in shorter ones.

When I look at other supports I typically have more wards placed then them so I ward pretty frequently relative to most other Gold supports. Sometimes though they opt into item 3092 or item 3401 and I don't build those. That probably explains the ward differentials some games.

When I play normals, if the opposing support is Silver or Low Gold I almost always out ward them, but this may be simply a difference in skill. Lower elo players ward less.

I usually don't have vision issues with having now wards, but I do wish I could buy green wards again. I miss that item.
