Should Pink Wards Be Visible?

its such a disadvantage for you to spend 75 gold on a ward against a team with a shaco, rengar or eve jungler when the other team just was to push some so that they can kill it and then back off and get a easy gank. During the lane phase 75 gold is a lot to a support, especially if you have to buy more than 1. just to watch it get demolished soon after you place it, even if they have a gold gaining item. How much help do these champs need?

At the very least i think that if your pink get killed within the 1st minute of you placing it....some of that gold needs to be refunded.

But when they destroy the ward you know that the enemy is there, thus it has served it's purpose, they also recently buffed pink wards to regenerate if it's not destroyed. I don't understand what you're complaining about, Shaco, Eve and Rengar are all unpopular sub par junglers right now and you want to nerf them even more?

it doesnt have to be the jungler that kills the ward......if a suport buys a pink then other BOT lane kills it now you either are stuvck under your turret or you go buy another pink...either way you are at a standstill. it was just a dumb uneeded change when they did it. between buy your gold item to start...then getting pinks until you get sightstone built...support builds are slow and crap because of it. they need to just change wards back to how they were and bring back reg yellows

Then you stop them from killing it??? or see that they are out of position and you get free farm or a chance to kill them??? I mean seriously 75g?

although I would love to shut down stealth champs sometimes, this would make them useless. If this were the case if I was vsing wuking top i'd place a pink ward in the middle of the lane at lvl 1 and his decoy will be useless all laning phase or until he comes back with a sweeper.

Would not make them useless.....would just make them have to work. Other team doesnt even have to counter ward. used to be they had to at least buy a pink or oracles to check to see if its safe...........now they just have to walk in a bush see no pink and its auto safe to gank......costs them nothing and costs the support buying pinks tons......slow build...wasted gold.

Although I would most definitely not mind if pink wards had proximity stealth like evelynn so that you can place a ward outside brush without it being useless

Now you see this is a compromise, and a quite balanced solution compared to what the OP is arguing.
