Vision is for me , one of the biggest meh of the s6 . I was realy hyped for item 2303 , item 2302 and item 2301
I was like : Riot nerfed vision but they brought new mechanics with new sighstones , wich could improve the support role and make their work impactfull . Big meh : they are just stats with gold passive of the support items :) item 2301 eye of the** watchers **: Leaves a icy eye that reveals the location where the ward died .
Its basicly like {{summoner:2}} but smaller . I think its a good idea to make clairvoyance live trhough the support itemization since its a troll pick as summoner spelll And you know eyes , watchers . Wasnt hard to find something cool that fits well . item 2302 eye of the oasis : Leaves a mini azir tower wich disable traps and kill wards in a small radius ( at the location where the ward died ) I think its fits well with the item theme , and its cool :) item 2303 eye of the equinox : Wards last longer , and it takes more hit to be disabled . its built by tanks , so the wards should be more tanky :^) item 2045 Ruby sighstone : the old classic sighstone allows you to have 5 wards and you can put 4 max wards at once instead of 3 .

item 3056 I forgot this item existed lol . it can be improved if it could BUFF allied towers . Towers feel weaks atm and we already have : item 3512 and item 3060 for siege . so why not a defensive one?

Also i feel like auras are underrated , i would like to see a new aura item in the futur ( offensive one because we already have item 3110 item 3190 and i think that item 3001 and item 3068 dont fit with supports )

item 3050 I really like the concept of the item , but i think that we should have 2 zekes . One made for your ap carry and the other for your adc only . Because the 20% ap is only effective in late game and the crit buff is wasted . The other solution is to be able to bind more than 1 champion .

It would be interesting if the sight stone gold income hybrids provided a special effect to how you gain vision, or how your opponents remove your vision.

In this situation, I would prioritize gameplay over thematics and just come up with interesting effects and see which have the best impact. item 2303 item 2302 item 2301 things like... -Increases the range for dropping wards -wards with increased sight range -longer lasting wards -enemies within a certain distance of the ward are slowed -wards can be seen by enemies but reveal invisible units and objects -instead of a ward drops a wandering orb like wolf spirit that alert pings and dissipates a few seconds after seeing a foe

It's the general consensus right now that the sight stone upgrades are pretty weak due to having fewer stats and losing out on the new active. If they all empowered vision though, perhaps there would be a serious consideration between the items.

Honestly, right now upgrading your support item to this actually hurts you...Getting the active effect from your item is too good to pass up.

Honestly I`d rather see the 3rd tier support items removed, and just 1 build path again.. This changed added nothing for support expect a new player trap.. Pretty similar to Cull TBH.

Wards just need to last longer.

The "price on vision" is way too high and its extremely hard for standard ranked queue to properly handle vision.
