Wards Earn Gold Mastery

RAWK·Nov 10, 2014·4 votes·550 views

Could there be a mastery that passively grants gold for each ward you have placed? Gold could be granted per ward per 5 seconds, or per champion seen. It would give supports income, and encourage warding, especially at lower rankings, where players don't realize the importance of vision.

Edit: Some people have asked "Why not just reduce the price on wards?" The mastery would encourage effective ward placement, as well as better vision control; denying the enemy team income.

or even a discount on wards or extended duration.

Mastery- Utility Scoutmaster: Every time an enemy champion walks into vision of a ward you placed, you gain 5 gold. Or Every time an enemy champion dies under vision of a ward you placed, you gain bonus 20 gold

This has to be champion-only, or everyone will have to take the mastery.

If you put this in the middle of the lane, you get 6 minions per wave x 2 waves per minute = 420 gold per minute or 1260 gold per ward.

Good call, since the goal is to get as many people to ward, it needs to have a good incentive. "you gain 1% bonus move speed while enemy champions are revealed by your wards" Everyone loves move speed ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

Considering the gold nerfs from Pre-Season 4 I'd say it's welcome.Pre-Season 4 changes kinda nerfed the support role. Riot told and convince everyone it was a buff, and I guess for the items it may seem that way.

however utility tree lost 10 gold at lvl 1, though the cost was halved so it balances out in a way, supports lost .5 gold per second from utility, and to top it off Shard of True Ice got nerfed, losing it's mana regen aura, and 1 gold per 5, the active change can be seen as a buff or nerf, but the only thing saving that item is the on hit gold. The other items were never good gold opportunities anyways so they technically got buffed.

Anyways I think supports could definitely use more gold, especially in the utility tree with how nerfed it is, I often consider not taking it on tanks since pick pocket doesn't work on tanks and the other gold making crap got nerfed.
