[Warding QoL] Suggestion for Quickly Identifying Fading Wards

Two part QoL improvement for (1) over-warding and (2) wards about to fade;

  • 1: When you hold your button to see the ward indicator and place a ward (currently shows range indicator and 3/3 counter), I would like to instantly see which ward of mine will be replaced. My suggestion is a silent ping [only on your own minimap] on the ward that will go away, when you hold your warding hotkey to see the range indicator or place one. That will instantly identify where you'll lose a ward before you place a 4th (or 2nd if it's a pink), and/or show which one you lost.

  • 2: For yellow/green wards close to timing out, simply color the minimap icon red.


My idea behind this comes from dropping lots of wards as your team pushes into enemy territory. Especially if I have a Ruby Sightstone, I'll often overwrite wards as we move further in and I can put them in better positions because we'll be going (B) and refreshing my wards anyway.

Like both or either ideas, or think it makes warding for noobs too easy? Vote and comment below! (honestly, I hear a lot about very low elo and non-supports practically refusing to keep warding. They need the help and this is just a Quality of Life suggestion not a buff).
