To all you "Lux/Brand support" players...

Know that you are holding your team incredibly far back when you don't buy sightstone. Your actively giving the enemy team the ability to catch you by surprise and completely singlehandedly throw the game for your team if you don't buy it. Im directing this at you Lux and Brand "Support" players because these are the only two "Support" champions I see that don't buy sightstone. I understand you might have been autofilled and don't want to ward because you don't know how/ you won't remember to use it, BUT AT LEAST TRY! Not buying a sighstone on a support is the equviliant to building full tank then sitting at your teams backline. Its against the general rules of the role. The amount of games I've been in where the game has been thrown because of loss of vision, because that Lux/Brand support player HAD to buy that blasting wand to add a small amount of burst to their combo that is already deadly without any AP items, is overwhelming. TLDR; Buy sightstone, your putting your team at a major disavtange if you don't.

Meh you just run along now and be a good little AD support, buy the sightstone, and let your support carry carry.

I would still buy a sightstone if I were to support with those 2.

Velkoz with sightstone is perfect synergy. ...The reason is obvious

there's even less reason to not buy a sightstone since they added the Eye upgrades since with the Spellthief's eye they can have their AP and get vision for the team. i love playing Lux sup and i always make sure to rush that so my team can't complain about this kind of shit.

This. So much this. The number of ranked games I win because I ward and they don't is a little sad.

It's not just Lux and Brand (and Malzahar and Zyra), either. I've had Threshes, Rakans, Tarics, Jannas, Namis, and Morganas ignore it too. You have no idea how much it hurts. I want to play the ward game with them! I want to beat them in vision fair and square! Just forfeiting it is horrible for your team. Make me fight for my free wins by map control!

It can always be worse.

Over the weekend, I had a Syndra support. Their final build was: item 1001 item 1056 item 3089

They didn't build a gold-generation item, didn't build Sightstone, and used AD + AtkSpd runes. They were probably autofilled and decided to passive-aggressively troll us for it.

I hate the player-base at times.

Brand quite frankly it doesnt matter what you get on this guy. if you get that 5 man passive proc that hits all enemy champions it really wont matter they are all dead anyway.

(please don't start item 2301 is ALWAYS MY FIRST ITEM)

not necessarily, I've won plenty of games without ever buying sightstone because it's just not needed, sometimes you can tell you don't need sightstone from the way the game is going

I don't condone not buying a sightstone, but I think the whole reason everyone gets a trinket is for this issue.
