Hello!
I had a thought pop up: What would happen if a kill made in vision of a friendly ward would give the warder an assist as long as the warder him/herself doesn't have champ vision on the target? Only the oldest ward placed would grant the assist. Would that break the balance? What's the potential consequenses? Would it encourage more people to ward? What's your thoughts on it?
Aeolian Melodies1 votesThe thing is I don't think Riot can't code that in a way that prevents people from getting 5 assists for dropping a ward in the middle of a team fight with 0 fog of war.
Granvidje1 votesI see. I can also see it making Mejai's and Sword of the Occult pretty OP now that I think about it, getting stacks "passively". But let's assume that the assist thing isn't possible due to technical and balancing issues. How about wards give a small amount of gold each time it spots an enemy? Can only grant gold once per champ per 30/60 seconds, and that's a cooldown for all wards you got placed at the same time (not counting pinks). How would that impact the game?
The supports (and junglers) would get a slightly boosted gold income, possibly speeding up the pace of the game? It could promote strategic warding as you'd want as many enemies as possible walking past your wards as often as possible.
