Move Sightstone Wards to the GP10 support items!

I see lots of threads asking for changes to support items. Most of them support the idea of more complexity. I disagree. I don't think supports need dozen of tailored items. There is plenty of useful diversity as it stands. The problem is not a lack of choices, it's a lack of income/item slots to take advantage of them.

I have no problem with riots decision to relagate vision control to largely a single player on the team. And I am glad they saw the need to provide an item to help us with that. I don't however feel it's fair to have to spend 2k gold on a mandatory GP10 income item...then another 1.6K on a vision item. That is a huge potion of a limited budget that allows me little to no diversity or choice in the 1st 20 min of the game. Every game it's gold item...wards...Sightstone...boots. Every...freaking...game!

That's one of the reasons support players get bored. No counter play. No choices. No fun. My solution is simple and is as follows...

1. Delete sight stone from the game

2. Move the 2 ward mechanic to each of the GP10 items 1t upgrade (increase cost slightly to compensate)

3. Move the 3 ward mechanic to the final upgrade of each GP10 item (again small bump in cost)

4. Enjoy ~ 1k gold worth of income that is freed up by not being forced to buy out the flat health that came with sightstone.

What this does is this...

1. You need flat health, you buy Kindle gem or another health item with your gold that you saved. Now you have a viable upgrade path into something useful later.

2. Got a double AD bot lane with an AD enemy jungler? Start building frozen heart instead of being forced into flat health from SS.

3. Got a super poke lane bot with Ez and Nida? Rush Aegis for MR aura to help your ADC instead of being forced into flat health that only helps you.

Get the picture? You have more strategic choice with the income you had to previously invest in mandatory flat health. You still pay for the ward mechanic...you just have the gold from the flat health free to spend as you need. It provides no significant power spike for support, no messy balancing new complex item trees like junglers, just pure strategic choice and diversity in options that are now viable to pick because you can.

Anyways....that's my view. Support if you like it...don't if you don't.
