Riot finally figured out that the only way to make any buy blue trinket...

Now places a visible ward at the target location that lasts for 60 seconds.

Was to make it a ward.

10/10 Riot. 10/10.

Better than the original 2 second non-ward.

I still won't buy it though.

It looks like you can't kill it either; it didn't have a health bar last I checked

could item 3342 just reveal enemy wards but not let you kill them? so to identify vision. and without the other team knowing. It could fix the ward-in-chicken-camp troll strategy and also provide gank knowlege

Professional Marksmen can't get close enough to an area to ward it without being in danger.

Sounds like what I said they should do for clairvoyance just over a month back. Sounds like the power of universal knowledge at work, maybe?... Hire me Rito, pls.

That sounds like a terribly situational idea.

The problem with Clairvoyance is and has always been if you know when to use it, you probably don't need it. Making it even more situational doesn't change that.

Just to be clear, I wasn't talking about the overall post which wasn't mine. Just my comment about the possibility of placing a visible ward in the center of the ability. Though it does make more sense on the blue trinket.

maybe if blue trinket had a shorter cd than the yellow trinket instead... ;l

as far as i can tell the blue ward is indestructible. this might outclass the yellow trinket. good idea overall, i hope it goes through soon.

Alternatively they can just dump the three trinket idea in its entirety and have the trinket slot be an upgradable ward.

It's not indestructible. It's visible to the enemy team so they can destroy it, but it's still an improvement from the blue trinket on the live servers.

does it take three hits like other wards?

EDIT: i see in the discussion above it only takes one hit...

I actually might end up buying it at this point.

Why does it have to be visible though.

If it wasn't visible then it'd be the same as a yellow trinket with 5000 range.

Silents4292 votes

Well yeah. It being visible with 1 HP and a 60 second timer seems pretty lame.

The point of the bue trinket is to help you check without facechecking, if it gets destroyed, you still know somebody destroyed it.

Silents4292 votes

Does it still have a long arse casting range?

BallisticMouse7 votes

Did you not read this message chain before responding?

Silents4292 votes

Yeah I started it, I still don't see where it said it has a long casting range?

Kijinx1 votes

lmfao, I hope you realized by now but up there it says 5000 range.

So yes, cast range still far.

Silents4292 votes

Lmfao you think cast range and range are the same thing.

RogueWill3 votes

The casting range is 3500 i believe while the (not sure if it was changed 5000) and the actual range of a ward is smaller than the yellow trinket (smaller area) I think is either 350 or 400 range.

Can you teleport to the Scrying Orb ward?

If so then that's a pretty big deal.
