Warding is for the support

6 years ago Riot removed the wards for support only style, and slowly changed into a ward for everyone style. Yet there are still players who blame the support for not having the map fully warded. Now they actually can't, if enemy cleans them up. They can't go out, ward, teamfight, and go home for replenishment. Also There was a bit of strategy and satisfaction in the old system's warding.

My idea is to give the supports a bit more warding chance.

Gold item replenish a ward each minute. On start it gets filled instant, but no need to recall for it. Each level of the gold item increase the max. wards, that can be placed. no item: 2 normal 1 control. No real point having 2 normal ward as options, if you can NEVER get 3 normal ward.

lvl1: 2 normal 2 control ward.

lvl2: 3 normal, and 3 control

lvl3: 4 normal, and infinite control.

Control wards could be stacked up to 99 times. I know, that this could give trolling option, but hey. If someone wana troll, then they find a way.

A support specialized task but not just the task of the support.

Warding is a team wide job, not just the Support.

warding isn't only the supports job its everyone's job (I'm a top lane main) I don't think they need more wards like buying infinite control wards bot lanes who take double support items like the sona taric and ez gailo will get too much value out of having all the removal of vison all the time I do like however the less wards early and the replenishment of wards that don't force you to recall for more wards but maybe make it to where the more wards you remove the quicker the cooldown for your wards come up so the more skill the players have or the more 'supporting' they do they get more out of it

Once a minute is faster than they expire, and allowing more wards would be broken as fuck in high tier.

Infinite control wards? That seems a bit overkill... Riot even nerfed it not too long ago, you used to be able to carry up to 3-- now you can only carry 2 at a time. Vision is extremely powerful in League, if you let players have too much to the point where both teams can know exactly where the enemies are at any time, a lot of potential for exciting and interesting plays is removed. That's why pro games were so boring to watch for a while-- both teams could have perfect vision, so kills often didn't even start happening until ~20 minutes into the game when they started teamfighting.
