So, I'd really like to know what algorithm Riot uses for Vision Score calculations....

I thought for a few days that it was a decent method of keeping track of how good the two supports were (that and assists, mostly). There are, of course, some other factors, but if it seems pretty close in everything else, seeing the Vision Score to compare should at least give one of them an edge in evaluation. I figured Riot would know best how Wards Placed, Wards Destroyed, and Wards Purchased should count toward an overall score.

But I found this. http://imgur.com/a/Ooh40?

Apparently a difference of 4 wards placed and 1 control ward purchased mean literally nothing.

BTW, I generally have a Vision Score of around 60-80; that game was a 4v5 that ended very quickly. Just in case someone was inclined to be toxic. ^.^

Riot did a pretty detailed post on it a week or two ago. Basically it accounts for enemy champions revealed, enemy wards killed, vision abilities (IE hawkshot), how long your wards were alive, where your wards were placed (near your base provides fewer points that away from your base), and your use of Scryer's bloom.

Thank you for that. That does clarify things. ^.^

I would suspect that it's the number of seconds enemies were revealed by wards you placed.

Apparently it takes into account the efficiency of the wards as well? Like, how well you place them. I'd assume someone who placed less wards but caught a bunch of enemies with them would have a higher score than someone who placed more wards but did stuff like empty out their sightstone in the fountain every back.
