BRING BACK WRIGGLE'S LANTERN

My primary goal of this thread is to hopefully get some gears turning for this idea. Wriggle's Lantern was certainly an odd item... and didn't make much sense, but to completely remove it from the game (aka the concept; the artwork), I thought was a bit much.

My proposal is this: Bring back Wriggle's Lantern / Feral Flame, as a trinket. Players will start by getting Wriggle's (the new one), which will give the player extended vision and the ability to cast it a SHORT distance to grant brief visibility. Remove Scrying Orb... Instead allow the player to upgrade Wriggle's into either Farsight Orb or Feral Flame. Farsight Orb will now grant the improved vision, but otherwise remain the same. By upgrading the trinket to Feral Flame however, players will extend their vision even further, the casting distance of the active will be improved, and a new passive will be gained where an indicator will appear above the player's head if a stealthed enemy comes within range, or if an enemy is in a nearby bush. I do not feel this is in any way overpowered, as it does take up the spot for what could be a potential ward and does not grant visibility of the enemies, unless the player uses it's active. As well as this, it won't be much use for players other than the jungler... yet at the same time, most junglers would beg for a trinket such as this.

So what will this change ultimately do?

  1. It will add a new trinket for players choose from, specifically junglers.
  2. Remove Scrying Orb (by upgrading Wriggle's into Farsight, players will still get long-ranged visibility, it will now just have more depth to it).
  3. Allow junglers to fight back against getting counter jungled. Right now, lets face it... Unless they come into your jungle with low health (which is a bad move on their part), you're just out of luck.

In my opinion, this is a great concept. It brings back an old item that was both loved and hated, but gives it a new and much more useful, lore-friendly, and sensical purpose. It won't even be considered however, without some people to back it up. For those of you who agree, take the time to upvote, at least vote in the poll, that way MAYBE Riot will take some time to look into this.

This may sound like a lot for a trinket, but my thought behind it required some explaining. On the item itself, it's description would look as so: Trinket - Wriggle's Lantern - Unique Passive: Grants slightly improved vision. Active: Can be cast a short distance to grant brief visibility. Farsight Orb - Unique Passive: Grants slightly improved vision. Active: Can be cast long range to place a short-lasting ward. Feral Flame - Unique Passive: Grants moderately improved vision and indicator when stealthed enemies are nearby. Active: Can be cast moderate distance to grant brief visibility.

This is a massive fuck you to Kha'Zix, shaco and twitch. Rengar already has a stealth indicator. Eve becomes visible when in range. And then you added in reveals enemies in bushes. That passive alone is massively over powered
