No charges for upgrading yellow trinket?

Why is it when you upgrade your yellow trinket, it completely resets the cooldown of the ward charges? Even if you have a ward available, it gets rid of it. I understand you might not want to just give out wards, but can we at least have the original ward if one was there?

Agreed. I dislike the way whenever I want to change from a ward (off cooldown) to sweeper or something it resets cooldown.

Trinkets must have cooldowns or they would be abused, here's why, you realize your team can do baron, you switch to red trinket to clear wards, with no cooldown that would work. You suspect the enemy might be doing baron, you switch to blue trinket just to check and then switch back, with no cooldown that would work. You are pushed into your base and you realize your sweeper is not needed atm but you need wards around your base so you swap to yellow trinket, without a cooldown that would work.

Pretty much, without a cooldown the trinkets would be abused in that way and they were never meant to be used reactively.
