suggestion: buyable 7th slot, for wards only.

not a trinket.......

but rather for pinks

because making it to 40+ minutes is difficult as is, no1 should be cheesed by lack of vision but rather they chose not to, not because they couldn't.

The problem with having a free control ward slot is that it makes stealing objectives harder depending on which side you are on. Unless you use a plant, but we shouldn't rely on RNG for vision.

Very Hard EngageMar 15, 20172 votes

not "stealing"..... its sneaking.

stealing implies it was contested over/fought over.

MrryZMar 15, 20171 votes

Yeah his point was that a team just runs in drops a control ward and that denies all vision to the other team so they cant snipe objectives?

DJMason88Mar 16, 20171 votes

I've never heard anyone call it sneaking. Stealing dragon means that the enemy tries to get it but instead the other team gets it because someone "stole" it (smite,lux ult).

Very Hard EngageMar 16, 20171 votes

sneaking = the enemy team had no vision, and the team thats doing it has no right to be doing it other than the fact that they dont know about it.

stealing = a jungler poping over the wall ,flashing in, and last hit smiting it.

stealing is completely random 50-50 based around which jungler smites it first, or last.

vision has no baring whatsoever on "stealing"

you do not need vision to steal the dragon/baron.

if you cant get vision because theres an existing pink and the enemy team is clearing, THATS MAP CONTROL, and proper vision denial, nothing else. you're contesting it at that point.

if you're hovering and you cant see in the pit while the enemy team does it, thats a risky, unfavorable, questionable steal, or a potential contest based on your team mates location.

I'd like to see the pink (now red) ward trinket upgrade come back so people can carry red wards around late game.

The '7th' slot is the free trinket one... You can gain vision and as well games on average don't extend over full build for everyone so in general you should be able to purchase a 75g pink vision. The more your team wards the more vision you have.

Typically lower MMR players don't ward and or kill wards as much and as it goes higher people start to do it more. It's honestly a team effort to light up your map as a team not supports only.

Except they don't let you choose if you get a control ward or not like they did in season 4 or 5. If your inventory is full, the control should go to your trinket slot.

I'm so tired of the pinks problem.

I mean, hell, let us UPGRADE trinket again.

GIVE US MORE ACCESS TO PINK WARDS. FFS.

DarkLordArbiturMar 14, 20172 votes

I hear this one. Being the only one with infinite warding capability (as a supp who runs an eye with blue trinkets), it's painful to see my wards get chopped down and have no one capable of replacing them.

Like, make it cost at least 500G for the extra slot so that if you do it early you are setting yourself back quite a bit but it late game it's like "I need that"

Bring back trinket control wards!

metalhydra273Mar 16, 20172 votes

I've always been in favor of this idea, but a potentially big problem that could occur is the fact that each team could easily stock up tons of pinks late game and deny vision with them. If one is destroyed another can be placed again easily. Unless you plan to limit everyone to having 1 pink at a time. Even then having 5 pinks on the map at a time could make vision denial oppressive. I'd like to see a way it could be implemented in a healthy way somehow.

The map is supposed to be darker late in the game because that's when you're supposed to group.

i see you are not a support main so let me fill you in.

Warding is everyone's job. even if Riot makes it easier it wont change how people play.

also, having complete vision of the field late game makes lets combat happen. most things occur when teams dont see each other so as you get more gear vision begins to be reduced so fights end up more explosive and random. I cant count the number of times i see my own team walk past pinch points without warding or cover me as i ward.

This may sound crazy, but... This game would be better removing wards entirely. Rather than having more champions with CC this would encourage Riot to make champions that control vision instead. so people select their champion should know their job or learn it. Hell some champions already have limited vision skills as is: Akali Annie Ashe Azir Caitlyn Corki Elise Gragas Ivern Honestly this list goes on for a bit. basically saying champions do have vision skills and if Riot removes warding than they could expand on their vision skills.

Chembaron YamadaMar 15, 20177 votes

Absolute terrible idea. Vision is too strong as a mechanic to be limited to the champions kit only.

It would mean you have to redesign almost every champion of the game by giving them another vision option and even then there would be champions with just much better vision control than others.

You can't compare Ashe or Kalista with Elise when it comes to vision.... their vision granting abilities are much stronger than hers. So these champions would become absolute pick or ban. While everyone without strong vision tools will end in the gutter.

Not to mention several other balance problems like the increased impact of junglers in general and roamers would get a strong buff too....

How could you miss Teemo on that list? He's like the poster-boy of having vision ability (as well as becoming ward himself).

i dont count trinket as a slot.

Pommel KnightMar 15, 20171 votes

Remember when you could upgrade your trinket to a pink? Yea those were good times. Or when you payed for those home-guards.

sirwaterflesMar 16, 20171 votes

Only if it is only purchable after lvl 15 or min 35 or something otherwhise the game would become more slowbally again .

WingsofGulgazorMar 16, 20171 votes

it would be cool if the seventh pink ward slot was a passive for the upgraded red sightstone. Either that or an active to some item that would be good on like janna/soraka that when you buy control wards they can be used by using the active on it and then you have to buy more wards to use it again.

mærkMar 18, 20171 votes

This is like saying Teemo should be able to shoot multiple darts out. Game is already simple enough. If you wanted it to be complicated and weird looking, go to DoTa. Also if your team doesn't ward then GGWP you don't get vision. Work as a team to control vision... It's a " TEAM" game not, "If I can get a permanent method to be able to ward constantly so my team won't need to" isn't an excuse to create something that is already in the game; trinkets...
