Riot, please, remove the limit of how many wards you can place

Hello,

Riot, you said that the trinket update was to teach players to ward. I can assure you that players did not learn it. Present I am in situation I cannot ward more than 3 wards as support or jungle and the other 4 players have at maximum 1 ward total on the map at the same time. Players did not learn. Thus revoke the ward limit. It has no teaching value as those who cannot ward does not get any penalty they can get into their bony heads.

Well also the problem is the players themselves the whole can place 5 pink wards and 15 green wards, But the problem is that there is no rewards to placing wards by those who place them. So only the supp gets the job. Because all the odd jobs are given to the supp. When really its the whole teams job to ward when they can. Now I not saying we should get money for each ward we place but what if when a ward you place spots a enemy player who then gets killed but one of your team members you should get an asset from that or a spot gold reward.

Surviving a gank or spotting someone and killing them is not "reward" enough?

I'd rather not. This would just bring back the ward b***h problems that the ward limit was supposed to fix in the first place. It was no fun at all having to buy a gazillion wards and then die or contribute nothing when the enemy attacks.

If your team cannot be bothered to spare 250g to help with ward coverage, screw them, that's their problem. Yellow trinket upgrade is just way too good now, there isn't much of a reason not to upgrade to it if you are sticking with it.

I would anytime take back the old times when I could place enough wards to win the game rather than the present when I cannot alone ward enough. Trinket is good idea, I am suggesting removing them. I am asking just revoking the ward number limit. I would be satisfied with 1 pin ward + unlimited number of stealth wards.

At the moment I am in situation where I cannot ward properly and my team follows same stupid "warding is only done by support" ideology they did in the past. Thus the goal to teach people to ward failed totally.

Rewarding warding has been wanted for a long time, but Riot apparnelty DO NOT want players to learn it. Like they do not really want to punish intentional feeders and rage quitters.

The old times when a support could never finish a single item due to having to spend all their money on wards? I'd rather not have the game return to that. Riot's already made it extremely cheap to get in on wards (250g for yellow trinket lets you have 3 wards on the map at a time)

That isn't a problem with wards, that's a problem with players. And while some people are stupid and won't change, there are people that do upgrade their trinkets (I've seen several times where a team has all upgraded their trinkets)

And why do I desreve to lose games due having constantly imbecile idiots in my teams? Tough! It is your low skill that your team mates cannot play? Statistically speaking only works on sets of thousands and should never be used on individuals. But, that is another part of statistics most people just does not get. IF somethign works barely statistical level (which I douibt, but riot do not provide us data we can do statistical analysis how their axions are faring.. I bet really badly as they hid mmr and as sivler 5 overlaps with bronze 3 allowing matching of players more than 2 divisions apart.

If you are stuck at that low elo, then find a champion that's op in that elo range.

I agree but only because I miss ward artwork :)

It is fine as it is. Allowing a fixed number makes you use your wards more strategically and makes your whole team buy them if you want map control.

Enjoy games where you end up with boots, gold item, sightstone and nothing else.
