Greater Stealth Totem still starts at Zero stacks
Meddler said they were thinking about making trinket upgrades free because people often forgot to buy them or didn't appreciate them enough.
Well, a simple way to make the standard trinket
more appealing is by keeping the CD of the
instead of starting at 0 stacks and having to wait 60 seconds for your first ward.
A few examples:
When you upgrade your
while it is ready to use, you should start with 1 stack and start counting down for your second stack (which will be ready after 60 seconds).
If you just used your
and is on a CD higher than 60 seconds, the
starts at 0 stacks with a 60 second CD.
If your
is on a CD between 0 and 60 seconds,
will keep the CD, still having 0 stacks.
It does not make sense for a purchase to start on cooldown. You don't have to wait 5 minutes after buying GA to get its effect. If you level up Akali, you don't need to wait for your first stack. All abilities that have stacks start at one upon levelling it for the first time. There are no other items with stacks to compare this with, but all other items with active also start being available. All other trinkets will start available if your trinket was available before upgrading.
I've litterally had moments where I had the gold to upgrade but decided not to because I had to ward Baron or something else ASAP.
