Suggestion for Trinket Balance

What if trinkets become granted through items? I chose targeting support and jungle since those roles are the most map control oriented.

Proposed changes:

1: Warding trinket/Farsight upgrade remain a universal item for everyone.

2: Oracle Alteration becomes available to anyone who holds a tier 2 jungle item.

3: Sweeping Lense becomes available to anyone who holds a tier 3 jungle item.

4: Ruby Sightstone upgrades the Warding trinket to become pink ward *(Possibly) "Eye of the..." items can also grant the pink ward upgrade to avoid Ruby Sightstone becoming the must-have purchase.

(Of course, having a jungle item or sightstone does not mean you must use the trinket they activate, but they become options.)

What these changes will do:

Separates the duty of vision control. Jungler will be responsible for denying vision since they are, after all, the ones in control of the jungle. Supports will be responsible for providing vision and counter-vision since that's one of their priorities. Also, as cheap as pinks have become, they still use an item slot which could be filled later in the game.

Losing teams are given a little breathing room since their attempts at warding won't be totally thwarted by 3 or 4 sweepers on the enemy team.

Farsight becoming a staple means there could (emphasis on could since we all know that one person) be less face-checking in the later stage of a game when one wrong move can end the match.

Also on the above note Farsight being a staple does mean surprising the opposing team will become a challenge which in-turn pushes more focus onto all-out 5v5 brawls and map rotations.

What do you think? Should Riot shake up the trinket game or are we happy with the way things are right now?
