why aren't we allowed to have the pink ward trinket?

please explain. actually someone from riot explain this one to me, i don't get it. historically, contextually, at the time, sure i can understand removing it because vision as a whole was busted, but it wasn't the trinket itself making vision broken, it was the availability of regular wards thanks to sightstone and junglers building the item which was unintended.

it was such a fantastic tactical trinket i can't understand why it stays gone. especially for the late game where you don't have the space for vision wards in inventory. i mean i still bothered to watch competitive at the time and the item functioned as intended, one person on a team would get it and there would be a pink ward in hand that the team could play around. but even then it was only picked up maybe once by either side in a bo3, almost never seen in the bo1's, occasional use in soloq. the item had a real function to serve, and still has one to serve in the current game but we just aren't ever getting it back because? has the live design team forgotten the item existed? :/ you can rectify so many woes about the current game state by bringing it back, even if people get nifty with the trinket swapping. am i missing something here? it's not like it only serves 2-3 champions on the roster like other items item 3161

Having control ward trinkets would just be too oppresive to some champs Evelynn Shaco and would make blue trinket useless since control trinket is...

  • Targetable by allied effects
  • Takes four shots
  • Reveals invisible units

thats just my best guess.

Lol jk they just dont like vision

Because riot hates vision because it counters the brain dead burst meta they want to force down our throats.

Make an additional trinket slot for pinks BUT don't make the wards recharge for free.

The slot starts with 0 wards, you pay 75 gold for 1 charge of Control ward up to 2.

Everytime you want to add a charge, you pay 75 gold.

Simple exmplanation. Pro Play Back in the days, in Pro play the map was lighted up like the fog of war did not exsist and that was not "interesting" (as if fights lasting for 5 seconds is) enough for the base playerbase which to be honest was filled with players who just wanted to see some burst (especially with Tanks being as strong as they were). I can't blame the playerbase but I can blame Riot for taking such lazy measures against that.
