the ward boots are boring. theyre basically just a sightstone.

how about something different? when youre moving with the boots they leave a singed like trail behind you. allies moving on that trail gain a movement speed buff. the trail also lingers for a short duration and reveals the area its covering.

blue sparkly pixy dust particles.

probably best implemented as enchantment.

what about another enchantment that makes you ignore unit collision?

They are the sightstone. The problem with implementing vision on their upgrades creates a common snowball problem. An issue riot tries to resolve. I don't think it's a good idea to create this issue again. Their is a reason riot wants to make trinket upgrades free next season. They just don't want to create a bigger snowball just because they can affort the vision. I think the best example was that ones games in the finals with fnatic. They placed 3 pink wards in the area arround baron and they litterly got the baron uncontested. And this is just a single example. Vision gives so many power to one team that one good placed ward can make a result on the entire game. In solo Q this issue is less exploit but the higher you go the more you will notice the impact from it. Why do you think riot didn't buff item 3023 yet. Their scared what might be the result.

So I'd have to wait until level 6 to buy a item 2049? I know that the boots that hold...wait for it...a single charge of ward cost the same as the SS, so I could just like buy that at the same time I would buy SS, but if it only holds one charge why not just buy regular boots and 2 stealth wards, and have 325 leftover? There's no snowball problem with the SS; supports rush it either way, and junglers that build it wait until after their jungle item is done anyway, but still get it really early. This is just overpricing wards and honestly I think I would just end up buying them if this was a thing.

Their is no problem with that. The original idea was 2 charges (3 charges on level 6). The level is just a number & easy can be reduced but than again. By forcing yourself into a later investment on sightstone you have time to put something else in between.
