Stealth champions? Unreveal-able without item slot for vision ward?

I just have a question, i just finished a game against teemo and akali, im slightly confused on something, the trinkets now do not provide Vision ward upgrade, nor oracle lens. So how exactly are you suppose to break stealth on stealth champions? Buy a vision ward? sure but what about late game when everyones fully built? Do you need to keep a slot open constantly to carry around a vision ward? idk im just curious.

Response from Riot Pwyff to a similar question:

Because I just sent out an email on this: Removing true sight was a deliberate decision because, ultimately, stealth champions have their power budget allocated to being difficult to detect. Giving 'standardized' counters that everyone gets for free means the champion's just kind of... not stealthed after a certain period of time. With the trinket changes, sweeper still detects bodies and we want to see a world where a stealth champion's 'power' of stealth comes with the ability to conceal their health. If player adjustment is a hard - "we must buy pink wards" - to the point where it becomes mandatory to play against stealth champions, we'll fix accordingly. But if players understand this and know how to work with sweepers, maybe we won't need to.

We did use that, We had both red trinkets Both sweeping, and alteration, but niether worked to reveal akali in her W, nor teemo in his passive.
