Sweeping lens needs a buff!

I really don't understand how it's fair at all for assassins to have an item that allows them to instantly clear wards and support players who clear wards regularly have to sit there and auto them the full 3 times. I mean, think about it, what support champions do you play that build attack speed? By the time you've cleared 2 wards your sweeping lens has already worn out! and that's assuming you have the movement speed to even run around and find 2 wards. Someone like zilean or bard could easily find a few wards, but they can barely clear 2 of them before they run out of sweeping lens. I think sweeping lens should have the same effect as dusk blade. Unless riot is trying to tell us that supports aren't supposed to clear wards, cuz the adc could surely clear them a hell of a lot faster! Who even came up with the idea to let assassins insta clear wards anyway?

Same people that thought Riven and Jax needed buffs.

Same people that thought Spear of Shojin was a good idea.

Same people that thought Pyke was a good idea for a champion.

Riot Games.

Tell your ADC to get their butt to help you clear wards. WTF are they doing? Supports are not supposed to go warding/clearing solo. It's a team effort, you find the wards and let the adc clear it while you are looking for the next ward

Assassins' entire gameplay is based off vision. If you see a Zed or Talon running at your adc from 1500 units away he will never do anything. Same goes for every assassin. Their lategame is solely based off flanking and playing around dark areas of the map. That's why their ward clearing is important. Sometimes i even get sweeping lens as an extra since duskblade has a 2 min cd.

Wards need a buff first.

item 3147 needs to have its anti warding removed very badly. Your map is ALWAYS dark if you have an assassin.
