Riot, Why do you hate vision wards?

And making comebacks now, with this decimated vision system is somehow... possible?

One thing is to have a laning phase, the other is to isolate the lane completely and make it impossible to gank unless you have a global ability to help out. That's exactly where Shen and TP used to such a problem in the past but it's really sad how people easily forget the early problems League faced and just want to backtrack to them.

In the absence of some of that vision, you'll fill that time doing the next most powerful thing, and that thing is probably more fun and engaging.

It absolutely is until a jungler shows up and forces a flash/kills you because you can't keep vision up all the time.

Have you considered shifting more vision to plants or other environmental features? The problem with ward-based vision is that it consistently doesn't feel fun to use, even if it's quite powerful, and at certain levels of play it can even be confusing when a player doesn't know they got caught because they stood on an invisible ward. In organized play, wards are also kept at maximum uptime, or close to it, whenever they're made available, so even when their usage is capped, they can still force stalemates in certain important areas, particularly when Zombie Ward factors in as well. By contrast, plants and Scuttle act more as temporary power-ups, and so could allow for a vision system that could be more engaging to players, and that could allow for vision options that wards don't provide, while also limiting the amount of vision any team can have over a certain area.

Except at least in the games I play and watch (Plat-Diamond) limited vision KILLS interactivity by laners because when vision is down you have to play extremely passive and safe due to the potency and effectiveness of jungler ganks.

This in turn kills trading by laners and instead enforces a farm-off or even worse forgoing farm and XP in the hope of staying alive.

The problem isn't vision though. Limited vision is fine if I knew that even when the jungler shows up I have a good chance of making it out if I play my abilities right. Unfortunately, with mobility, CC, jungler clear health and tower damage being what it is, this is usually not the case.

It's not like people spammed wards when green wards were a thing, anyway ;) I mean, people complain about vision not being accessible enough, but when it was available to anyone it wasn't like they are depicting it...?

Getting unexpectedly jumped on from the fow because you have no vision will never be fun or engaging. Oh cool, rengar/khazix/twitch/etc... just deleted someone before they could respond. gg. That's not at all engaging.

you don't know what i am talking about, do your research better. I talked about season 4 for the simple fact that greater Stealth Totem, Greater Vision Totem and the other Upgrades had costs around 475 gold before they got reduced to 250 Gold at patch 5.1. People didn't upgrade much their trinkets prior to patch 5.1 and people didn't upgrade it much past 5.1. We talking about challenger and master (ok back in old days master didn't exist so diamond proberbly a bit) but defiently not plat and below purchasing much of green and pinkwards or upgrading the trinket. Yea beside the Support no one did. So they got removed patch 5.22 with the free lv 9 upgrade.

Even if you are in some higher elo just cause there is less vision now doesn't mean their is a lack of strategies now, should be the direct opposite. There was just clearly to much vision in the game and their was no skill in learning where to ward and play the game everytime the same. Now with less vision it is again more about using the brain, imagine where the enemie goes, planing straight forward. If you can't do that you should not look down on bronzies and silvers cause than you only lost the ability to buy something in shop but never had much in the brain for strategie. You don't see proplayers complainign about that stuff, they actualy think it is a good move. Look at other mobas, there is clearly far, far less vision. Like dota 2, the whole map is basicly dark and you ahve liek 3 wards on the entire map.

Yes? I don't know if you watched any professional games, but the maps were constantly lit up like a christmas tree due to both junglers having trackers knives, the supports having their support item, and even some mid laners were opting for Eye of the Watchers because you couldn't have enough vision. That being said, when you have near infinite vision it is impossible to do literally ANYTHING on the map so the games dragged on as 20+ minute farmfests into late games where still nothing got done.
