Can sightstone be removed next?

Honestly im tired with the oppressive iten and considering how much more jg matters (jg with krugs + and ally will probably break ur turret before you can even get back to it, esp on top lane without tp) i find its placement as an actual item unnecessary.

Expanding on the new totem charging system i feel as if they can implement something on the machete system to trinkets, if not just adding another slot specifically only for totems...

My idea is...

Everyone starts out with a basic stealth totem that lasts 180 seconds once placed with an 120second cd.

@ the item shop they are allowed to change the totem for 400g The options being....

At lvl 6 you spend 400 g to: A) Change trinket to hold 2 charges (120second durations) with a 60 second cooldown B) Change trinket to a red totem that reveals a large area aound itself and disables trap then converts into a stealth ward after 4 seconds with a 60 second duration and 90 second cooldown. C) Changes trinket to a blue totem that places a visible blue ward that can be placed at X range that lasts for 60 seconds and has a 90 second cooldown.

Then finally they upgrade into the greater versions of the previous at lvl 11 for 400g to: A) Change trinket to hold 3 charges (120 second duration) with 60 second cooldown that instantly refill upon returning to the nexus. B) In addition to the previous affect grants user an aura that reveals nearby stealth units for 10seconds. C) Doubles the range in which the blue totem can be placed and increases the duration of the totem to 90 seconds with a 60 second cooldown.

honestly i would hope a change like this would encourage players to all play a role in vision instead of having a single item that constricts a role and vetos any new player's logic of assisting in control of the map. Given that most champs are either gold startved are simply dont have space to purchase wards due to the increasing need to upgrade items, i think a change of this caliber should atleast enchance the experience of playing with a team that refuse to buy any wards.

Most people just wouldn't put the 400g into an item like this. I wouldn't put 1200g into being able to use the fully upgraded red or blue trinket or 400g every time i needed to swap out trinkets based on what the games calls for. Nor would i put 800g into an item that gives me nothing but being able to place wards.

Your idea would remove the option for the a champion to not only be able to ward with sightstone but to also help clear wards by having the red trinket.

And what about the upgrade to the yellow trinket that allows the placement of a pink ward?

This would also kill the support role because they would have to invest the 800g, that normally would go into sightstone and give the warding active and health, into an item that gives no states at all and doesn't help their champ in any other way then forcing them to put gold into something that will do nothing that they already can't do with they way the items are already.

The way that they have things set up right now is that for 250g at lvl 9 a player can upgrade their yellow trinket to having two charges which they aren't required to go back to base to refill. If they ran out of wards they would have to choose whether or not to risk staying in lane with no wards or to risk their tower being pushed while they go back to get more wards.
