Is there any balance reason as to why you can't see the second yellow trinket charging?

Colgate Gator··222 votes·4,331 views

Maybe I'm blind and I haven't seen it, but it has always annoyed me that, sure, yellow trinket works on 2 charges, and if you have one ward available the second is reloading in the background, but there's no way to see how much time is left before it charges up unless you use up the one you have currently (as it then enters "cooldown" mode and shows the timer.)

Is there any reason for this, is it an oversight, am I blind, or there's something wrong with my HUD?

It doesn't when you have one charge: http://prntscr.com/bmm5cu

It only does it when you're out of charges: http://prntscr.com/bmm5me

But the second trinket is charging in the "background" but unless you time them yourself as soon as you put the "extra" ward down, there's no way to know when it's going to come up, my question is that if it's intentional or just an oversight.

Reasons.

But seriously, as soon as they did the mass trinket ~~fuckup ~~overhaul, this cropped up.

Doesn't it have a round clock going round like abilities?

Is there any reason why item 2049 doesn't show number of wards placed already on map?

You can see it by hovering mouse over it, but this is much more time consuming and might be fatal mistake when teamfight is about to begin.

Those are the same reasons why it took so long to nerf zed.

Might crash the game only for the enemy team (but well, this would still crash the whole game since every team buys at least one yellow trinket >>).

I'm pretty sure you can see the second charge cooldown, but second charges don't start cooldown until minions spawn, just like smite charges. Wait 90 seconds and see if the cooldown on the second charge starts.

Waited in game for second charge at minute 3.

Upon casting it gives the recast cooldown, which maybe be hard to make interact well with the second charge cooldown.
