Riot nerfed farming because ganking was too strong. (wut?) I just feel like buffing vision (allowing more wards, wards lasting longer, etc) would help alleviate gank pressure while making farming an actual useful thing to do as a jungler. No super long explanation or rant here, I actually genuinely want to know why this wasn't considered as an option. (In fact, didn't they nerf vision in season 8?)
Because if they buff vision, Pro Play becomes a non interactive farm fest for 30 minutes.
because it makes games super boring because nobody can be surprised. why sightstone got changed was because teams were buying 2-3 of them each and turning games into massive snoozefests until they didnt have room for them. it makes the game overall less fun. nobody had to take risks or anything because everyone knew where everyone was.
They won’t buff vision because they wanna keep their precious assassins super viable and it’ll help reduce this insta gib Meta they are forcing down our throats.
Nah. That would just mean we go back to the introduction of trinkets where everything was warded at all times and plays never happpened.
because riot wants to games to not last over 30 minutes so they want more people to fight/snowball.
R.I.P. late game champs and macro
reduce cost of control wards
decrease timer to earn stealth/blue wards.
increase stealth ward duration/cast range (slightly)
soflty highlight bushes that are not warded with "redish fog" on minimap as a visual reminder that that bush is "danger!" to encourage warding.
give anyone wearing jungle item 1.5x ward generation rate with +1 ward capacity
remove zombie ward rune
remove item passives that let you 1 hit wards.
vision is free and strong
its just players are bad at using it (dont get it wrong i also suck at using it as will)
They nerfed vision to encourage more ganks. Riot likes action, especially in Pro play. They can't find a balance between encouraging action and not making us feel helpless.
