Is the greater stealth totem buff a precursor to new Sightstone itemization?

Greater Stealth totem Now has charges and stores a charge of every 60 seconds, up to a total of two.

Since the warding trinket is getting buffed, I think it's time for specialized sightstone itemization as well. Branching off into AP, tank, or higher utility variations will make it more appealing since I doubt sightstone will be a big ticket item when everyone can potentially have a mini-sightstone at their command.

It's probably not.

During the early game and mid game, everyone can drop some gold into a few stealth and vision wards over the course of the game and take some pressure off of the support and maybe the jungler when it comes to warding.

During the late game, everyone has a full build. There isn't any room to buy any kind of ward. The meta called for practically everyone to run swap totems for sweepers in order to secure areas and prepare for objectives, pushes, and ambushes. One support with sightstone vs 4-5 enemies running sweepers means vision is going to drop hard once people finish builds.

This change rewards people who commit to giving their team more vision, aka more control, of the map, rather than simply denying control to the enemy and leaving the fog a no-man's land.

This is a great change.
