New SightStones

(i no longer have the images to be shown with but i think the jist is all here.)

Sightstones are a simple early item build consisting of a single ruby crystal (400g) it is normaly built by supports to give a charge based ward system holding 3 stacks. (until upgraded into ruby sightstone which has 4)

Riot has changed the way warding was done in Patch 3.14 (yay pie) Since that time they had made a limit as to how many wards one player can place. 3 vision wards and 1 pink ward.

We see why this was done. warding was left up to a support more often then not and many would blame the support sololy when they had no vision (result not found in all cases) so now people had to help the support if they wanted more vision. And also stopped people from buying MASSIVE amounts of wards.

Well today me and my friends are here to try and drive this small part of league into a whole new idea/mechanic.

With much colaboration we have come up with a brand new warding system much similer to the jungle items.

(show image 1,all,)

In this image above we have made a representaion to help discribe what our plan/goal is. Introducing the new sightstones! Crystalline sightstone Hardend Sightstone Reaper Sightstone Fiendish Sightstone (and removing Ruby sightstone)

We started with the idea of "its everyones job to ward" but many wernt buying wards and if they did they couldnt no more after they get 6 items. Now these are desighned for every lane (but ADC.) each lane should be able to make use of at least one of these items. It will still ward and work the same as it has before. but with some added benifits.

(1 stack = 1 ward with the normal cap of 3 per champ to place.) (Show image 2,Giants sightstone,) Crystalline Sightstone: 4 ward stacks and +500 health +50%health regeneration (1800g) ((Crystalline Bracer (600g) + Ruby crystal (400g) + Sightstone (800g) = (1800g))) (Show image 3,Hardend Sightstone,) Hardend Sightstone: 4 ward stacks, +20MR +30AM +450 health. (1800g) ((Cloth Armor (300g) + Null Magic mantel (500g) + Sightstone (800g) + (200g) = (1800g))) (Show image 4,Reasper Sightstone,) Reaper Sightstone: 4 ward stacks, +20AD +10% lifesteal +425 Health (1800g) (( Vampiric Scepter (800g) + Sightstone (800g) + (200g) = 1800g)) (show image 5,findish sightstone,) And fiendish Sightstone: 4 ward Stacks +40AP +15%cooldown reduction +425 health (1800g) (( Fiendish codex (820g) + Sightstone (800g) + (180g) =1800g)))

(and before you worry or think this will effect the trinket items it really wont. it will make the sweeper lens (the red one) alot more nessisary. the blue one still has its own thing. and it will encourage people to upgrade the yellow trinket to the pink.)

Lets us know what you think any ideas and tweeks, we hope to maybe see something along these lines in the game ASAP. Let this be the era of vision!

Well, I'm all for the idea, as i think the current Sightstones are pretty darn annoying to have on you (I'm the kind of support who likes going on with a positive K/D, so Sightstone really just feels in my way.), but if this goes through, prices would be quite a bit higher than 1800.

Also, there comes a point to which we don't want EVERYONE to feel forced to buy one, so these would have to necessarily be worse stat-wise than other items to balance things out between whether people want vision or power. Another thing, i could see the yellow trinket being taken out of the game however, which shouldn't be such a bad thing with those in. One thing that should be looked at is whether we want to give HP to all the Sightstones, maybe change the stats of the base item to better balance things out.

All in all, +1 from me.

Pretty good idea, actually.

Great idea! I don't see any images though :C

I see you said there are no images, mb!

Thing is with those stats I don't see why you wouldn't build it over a lot of other items on champions other than support. Itd be too cost/slot effective and useful

I support this but I think teams with 5 sightstones would be kind of troll. You would never not have vision of the entire map unless the enemy were all carrying pinks all the time.
