It would be nice to have this since it will allow the support to have more wards

EDIT: Title should be Can Ruby Sightstone get a passive where it allows you to place two pinks?

Ruby Sightstone got several buffs and is now actually pretty good, as long as you went for a tier 3 gold item, want to keep the Sightstone at full build, and have (imo) at least 2 active items to benefit from its CDR.

I suggest instead of buffing it even further (which would likely result in them removing something from it for balance), simply adding an alternate tier 2 Sightstone that does this.

Actually it would still not be a great option, because at full build you would lose the bonus Pink effect as soon as someone kills one you put down (or you never put 2 down). The only option is an item that drops Pinks, whether it be a Trinket or the Sightstone itself.

I was basically amending my position to show that there were some things I hadn't originally considered. I decided to add it on as a reply rather than an edit (for no particular reason, really).

i think better would be, an alternative SS upgrade that has the passive and can hold pinks in the same slot like a ward bag

redfeenix2 votes

Yes I think having a sighstone upgrade which drops pinks would be pretty cool. Then you could build yellow trinket, and use the sighstone as a pseudo sweeper.

Perhaps Emerald Sighstone or Sapphire Sighstone. Great Idea, the current ruby sighstone is REAALY strong it would be really OP if it had both these passive effects.

The problem is, supports are already starving for gold. Most supports just upgrade to the eye items and the few that complete their income item into it's full non-eye upgrade just stop at sightstone.

Ruby sightstone is already pretty good. And Moar pinks doesn't do anything unless you're 60 minutes in and full build as a support.

Why not just add the ability for Maw or duskblade to be able to place pinks. Vision isn't valuable. Edit Apparently sarcasm isn't spotted easily.

its not allowing to place pinks it simply gives you a small passive to have 2 pinks placed as a support. the OP isnt saying that item 2045 places pinks instead of regular wards. just the ability to place 2 pinks which means the support still has to buy them and can only do so if they have an inventory slot.

Ok my bad. Still against oppressive vision. That means 6 pinks on the map most of the game. Makes it real easy to snuff out another team if you have true sight on there entire jungle. But just my opinion.

ok fair enough but both supports on both teams have that option. so its fair. and as far as people cry about stealth champs it could be an indirect nerf to them that might make people cry less... Akali Evelynn Khazix Rengar Shaco Teemo Twitch

It's actually a great point as an indirect nerf. There is a big problem with stealth being sneaky but overly reliable. This would be able to change the reliablility some because it could be countered easier, if one chooses to go that route.

I think that's the trick to balancing, is that any item, champion or ability should be able to be countered reasonably. A lot of complaints I see on the boards are simply because the way you need to reasonably counter is not something people want to do. There's complaints for all sides and a good portion of them are simply people complaining things aren't easy for what they specifically want.

A balance change like this would allow for stealth champions to be stealthy, but could still be countered by anyone that wants a little extra vision (seriously talking up to 1 extra ward per person). I'd love to see it, upgrading to Ruby sight stone just seems boring and a minor change like that would be nice.

Not at all, just saying it's not JUST supports that can use this... which is a good thing.

In fact, I could see a few Tank Tops that would bump a Tank Item for a 2nd Pink, since Ruby Sightstone does bring some other positives like CDR (which Tanks like to have so they can keep Stun Locking) and a little HP.

So even on some Tanks, whether Top or Jungle, this Item would become MORE viable, thought not a 'Must Buy'.

right, you make the trade off for the extra stat of placing one more pink ward. not that it gives you wards... but u can have more then 1 so you still have to buy them. the item 2045 cdr only applies to items that have actives. it reduces the actives by 20% so like

item 3060 item 3190 item 3143

but i got slammed in down votes cuz i said as a Maokai top if vs alot of magic damage being a tank i will build item 3105 mid game for team fights ( it was a different thread ) but i mean how could you hate for a tanky top laner to be tanker and provide stats for a team ?

I'd rather have it increase the ward cap to four.

Supports don't need encouragement to ward more, the other roles do. If anything, I'd really appreciate it if we could get the pink ward trinket back.

Gary B Enkelis4 votes

item 2045 reduces the cooldown of item 3341 / item 3364 ... It seems really good. It's not placing more wards but it's clearing more wards. Oracle's Elixer used to be a standard Support item and this is the closest we've got to it again. Oracle's Elixer is gone but the concept remains. Vision denial is valuable.

EDIT: RUBY SS DOES NOT NEED A BUFF SHEEPLE

well if you are worried about those being removed. as a support main i never upgrade to those items, i always get ruby sighstone.

for one i am not a fan of item 3401 so if i play a champ that starts item 3302 ill upgrade to tier 2 but will sale mid game to complete a big item. people have argued that i lose the gold income, well i am old school who still runs gold per 10 quints so i always have gold income.

to me the best two items are item 3069 and item 3092 alot of the time ill swap item 3097 into item 3069 and i always finish item 3092 .

as far as item 2303 item 2302 item 2301 i feel you lose out on having the actives from item 3092 item 3069 and they arent worth also getting item 2045 has a 20% cdr on active items so i get more use out of the actives from item 3069 item 3092

for one my typical build as a Morgana support is item 3092 item 2045 item 3116 item 3174 item 3157 and what ever item 1001 i might need.

as for Sona its item 2045 item 3092 and from here i build whatever combo of items item 3105 item 3174 item 3060 item 3110 item 3100 item 3190 item 3222 item 3143 item 3050 item 3512

as far as my tanky supports which is Leona Nautilus are the two i play the most ill start item 3097 item 2049 item 1001 in lane phase but as soon as that is over ill go item 3069 item 2045 into tank items a like item 3060 item 3512 and either item 3143 item 3068 item 3025 so typically end up item 3069 item 2045 item 3512 item 3060 item 3025 item 1001

but item 2301 item 2302 would still be viable for mage supports who dont build item 2045 because they wanna combine item 2049 item 3098 to have an extra items slot for a damage item so Lux could build something like item 2301 item 3174 item 3020 item 3050 item 3089 item 3135 and still have gold income , and wards, have magic pen and burst she needs for damage and mr and armor from item 3174 item 3050 and the passives they provide with mana, cdr , mana regen and with item 3174 it gives her a heal that would work when she shields an ally and having item 3050 will give a nice passive bonus for more damage on her and adc.

item 2045 is situational. item 2303 item 2302 item 2301 too.

For example, Sona can build for late game scaling with item 3020 item 2301 item 3089 item 3174 item 3100 item 3504 A Ruby Sightstone would be useless there since she wouldn't have any active beside her trinket to use it on.

Having both the Ruby and the Frostfang, Targon or Medallion also cost you 2 item slots. It cost 550 gold to upgrade from a normal sightstone to an eye sightstone, clearing you a slot to have pinks or another item in it.

There are pros and cons for both. The GP5 item active isn't always ideal either. It all depends on what you are up against and who you have with you.

that could be one way to build sona if you are worried about her damage. i do plenty of damage with my sona's build and i provide extra auras i have been a sona main since well s2, since i started playing league. my last game i had a 4-5-26 kda
build was item 2045 item 3092 item 3060 item 3174 item 3020

game before as sona 5-1-15 build ended up item 2049 item 3092 item 3174 item 3020 item 3801 building into item 3060

It's not only for the damage but for the healing. Ardent censer increases your heals and shields by 15%, Athene heals off of your damage and with enough AP you can get the maximum amount of stacks on it with one Q, allowing you to Q - W on rotation. And her scaling on all of her abilities is thru the roof. You will shield more, heal more and give more chasing power (Movespeed) with a Rabaddon than you will with a Mikael, Locket and Frostfang combined because at level 16 you have 67% CDR on your basic abilities with 45% CDR, making your abilities a 2.3, 3.3 and 4 seconds CD respectively.

Obviously, that depends on what you are fighting against and who you are fighting with. item 3512 item 3060 item 3110 item 3222 item 3190 item 3050, etc. Every item is situational, just got to know hat to use.

It needs to have a buff that reduces your trinket CD added to it.

Or having Ruby Sightstone item 2045 allows you to pick up a new Pink Trinket. Which works kind of like the blue one except they are basically Pink Wards. It would definitely make it worth buying as a Support or even Jungler.

Yeah, this works, but it doesn't solve the problem that Pinks pose for stealth champions, nor does it actually address the underlying issues of stealth!

Having the ability to drop an instant speed (no cast time, no delay on activation) AoE of True Sight on a stealthed champion is BS. It's unfair to the stealth champ, and it's not really a test of skill on your part.

There is so much Riot could do to make vision in the game fun and exciting. Your proposal is part of the problem, in that it keeps perpetuating the idea that access to more Pinks is what we need. It's not. We need more variety in the way vision, sight, stealth, detection, and vision denial are expressed.

Riot, please.

I think it would be better to make an alternate sightstone item such as an emerald sightstone so that way the support can either be placing a trio of stealth wards or a single pink ward on the map at a time it allows a more in depth variety to build paths.

Sylvant2 votes

ruby sightstone seems like a fine item for tanky supports. Having it holds unique ability to place vision wards would be unfair to all the other supports and force them buy it aswell. If there will be a feature to have replenishable vision wards, it should be universal to all supports, but ofc such feature will also demand a rework of some stealth champs, which a tuned around the idea vision wards are not so widely available

It has the advantage to all supports, nobody is forced to buy it.

I'd rather see a pink ward slot so you can place pinks at full build. Warding has improved a lot this season, but I still see a ton of people with 2 charges on their yellow running around complaining about vision. A dedicated pink slot would help with people buying that. 75 gold really isn't a big investment for a permanent vision station, but you don't see anyone buying a pink except for the people with a desire to climb. Plus at full build you... can't.

I been saying this for awhile now!~ I think having its own slot would be really lovely because you literally have no space for a pink. If they want it to be balanced they could always just make the slot available only if you meet the requirement of having a support item +/ ruby sightstone and it should still allow you to carry 2 but only 1 pink should be placed at a time like live. I don't think it would be a good idea to allow the slot for everyone as that would be a bit too much vision, a ward slot on support should be good enough.
