About Sightstone

As a support main the fact that they keep changing the way vision works is a constant pain, and needless to say I'm not pleased with the removal of the green Stealth Wards. I won't get into that though.

During a game I was griping to my friends about the fact that they (Riot) for some godforsaken reason changed the amount of charges in Sightstone from 4 to 3. It was a small change but I realized how absolutely annoying this would be. In order to keep it charged up for emergencies you'd have to keep going back to the fountain. This just doesn't work because you might not be there for a team fight should one spring up.

I rather dumbly said, "I wish they could make Sightstone recharge itself when away from the fountain for a while the way Trinkets." Obviously my friends told me that would be dumb and overpowered but I have to ask how it would be overpowered. These changes are making it a hell of a lot harder for a support to ward (regardless of whether teammates ward or not) and the sightstone change was truly needless. So why can't sightstone recharge itself after a minute or two? I'd like to know why it might be overpowered if it indeed is.

Yea that's kind of annoying especially in the laning phase. Like, you come back to lane with your stone, you ward tri, drag and the lane bush in which the enemy Thresh/Morg is camping, and bam, once they fade you don't have any more and are forced to B.

I would like to see the charges recharge like the yellow trinket does... if the free trinket that doesn't take an inventory slot can do it, why can't the 800g item that takes up an inventory space do it too?
