Forget the Free Ward; You Get Blues at 9

I'm a support main, and for as long as I can remember, ADC's have consistently not warded. Consistently here meaning most of the time. Calm down ADC main, I can hear you typing already.

At this point in my storied Bronze 5 career, I manage. I ward. I tell them to ward if I can't. We get through it. But the failure to blue ward actually bothers me.

Unlimited Wards
Ridiculous Range
Permanent so you don't have to keep recasting

Honestly, why there are dark parts of the map by the 30 minute mark is absurd. I'm going to be blunt. If you're attempting to improve in this game, you need to blue ward more. So do I - no judgement. But some of you out there (and you know who they are) don't even buy the blue ward. If I had my way, Ss wouldn't be handed out unless you dropped 5 wards in a game.

While blue is useful to safely check brushes, it's got a rather long cooldown, and they're promptly destroyed more often than not.

Yellow trinket you can stockpile a couple wards at once, and has a much shorter cooldown, and if you can place the ward, it'll probably last for awhile unless the enemy team is good about pinking/sweeping, so it's reliable vision. I'd consider yellow trinket to be a perfectly viable choice even for adcs who have traditionally opted for blue as a result.

The main thing though should be that everyone should actually be using their trinket wards. (At at least early game when you've got the inventory slots to spare, buying at least one pink.)

I aimed this at the people who aren't doing anything. Judging by the downvote, someone thinks my opinion is wrong. My point was, the blue ward all but wards for you. If you're not warding at this point, you're assisting the enemy.
