Ward limit

FlatEarth Jacois··19 votes·2,230 views

I am a support main.

I would appreciate an indicator for how many wards I currently have on the map.

Currently I have to hover over my sightstone to see how many wards I have placed, which leaves me vulnerable as I'm walking around the map; ie, looking at my tool tip, and having my mouse away from my champion.

The introduction of Zombie wards, and how they won't spawn if a ward dies as a result of laying a 4th ward prodded this request, as I want to maximize my wards without getting myself killed.

Thanks.

umm you can just USE the sightstone? it will show u the ward range and it will tell you how many more u can place and which ward will be destroyed if u already have 3.

the only think i dislike is when your buying pink wards you can't tell if you have one on the field or not, only when placing them

OMG, yes, that, "pink", ward thing. (It's called a control ward now) When I'm not playing support and I forget if I have one on the map or not is annoying.

Not so big a problem when I play support, cause I always want Control Wards in my inventory.

You can’t ‘use’ it if you have quick cast on, I would also like an actual indicator

It works if you use quick cast with range indicators. If you don't I would recommend changing your trinket slot and/or whichever number you put your sightstone on to use range indicators.

Edit: Now that I think about it, I don't remember if you can choose range indicators for just specific buttons. Sorry if I'm wrong.

http://i67.tinypic.com/359cltx.jpg there is an indicator, is just that it doesn't show with the smart cast on .

All you have to do is look at the charge number, and do instant simple subtraction m8

1 charge left means you used 2 already. Pretty basic and any support main should be doing this second hand by now.

Adding some indicator beyond sightstone would both clutter your screen and give information to the enemy team...

As it is, you can just hover over Sightstone.

How are you a support main and unable to remember how many wards you placed? You have so many things to keep track of as a support (where is the jungler, how long ago did top back, where is mid, is my adc pushing the wave without purpose, is now a good time to back, is now the time if I don't back I can't get back to lane to defend tower, where is enemy bot and support, jungler pinged how long till he screws up this gank), with so much to keep track of the number of wards you placed ought to be easy.

heavilly disagree with this, the human memory is just too inefficient. And as a support main, warding sweeps tend to blend together. Did i ward mid river this run? lemme check real fast, etc etc.

However i usually have no need to know how many, only where, because of SIMPLE SUBTRACTION

You get 3 wards per sightstone back, and 4 for ruby, and hybrid sightstones

So if your sightstone says you have 1 charge left

THAT MEANS YOU USED 2 WARDS......

sorry just kinda bleh, and again i main support and will take any help i can get.

tip: look at your mini map.

A suggestion from a fellow Support main (though this is less effective if you don't have a mouse with multiple buttons);

Bind a key to your side buttons, have Sightstone on that slot and disable smart cast; While directing the Ward, you can see how many you've placed by just looking at the screen.
