Sightstone upgrade

One of the reasons why people don't like playing support is because you feel like you're wasting at least one item slot on the sightstone which is a very meh item even when upgraded. But this can't be changed, because if it was strong it would become mandatory on every champion. So the solution is this: Similar to the old Eleisa's Miracle (btw, I loved that item, I wish it was brought back to the game), you could upgrade it (or it would upgrade automatically) after you've had it for a certain amount of time or levels. This would prevent e.g. midlaners from buying it, or at least they'd have to face the decision between going for that extra vision, and more immediate power. But supports would still be able to get some power, at least in the late game. E.g. after you've had a sightstone or eye of the watchers for 20 minutes, you can purchase an upgrade that gives Eye of the Watchers 50 extra Ability Power.

IMO, they should just remove item 2049 from the game. Another poster brought up how they should just combine item 3711 with the other 2 Smite upgradesitem 3715 item 3706 and make warding primarily the Jungler's job, you know, since keeping tabs and securing objectives is primarily their job anyway, they don't lose out on levels because they do camps and roaming the map is something that comes with the territory?

Keeping tabs on objectives by securing vision is a job much more appropriately suited for the jungler as is.

The bulk of issues with support in terms of gold and EXP deficiency stem from them being forced to leave to secure vision by themselves as the most vulnerable class in the game, (thus being susceptible to dying out alone) as well as spending what little budget they have on an item that gives them no in-kit scaling utility unless your name is Braum, which puts a class that is already on welfare even more behind because of an item that is mandatory in every match, something Riot themselves has stated and expressed is problematic itemization design countless times since the dawn of League.

That's also an idea.

um... i highly disagree... supports use a LOT of item actives... and item 2045 is VERY helpful

I don't even buy sightstone anymore. ~800ish gold worth of damage is better for early domination, trinket has enough vision early, and bot lane snowball early wins matches before vision becomes relevant.
