Sightstone should be removed in Season 7

In favor of other warding options for -ALL- of your team.

Support players are tired of being warding bitches. Everyone on the team should be warding equally and helping to deny vision in general. It'd be great if the max quantity allowed to place item 2055 on the map would be increased to 2 per person.

Now, it's even more obvious relying on supports to ward is a problem when supports are currently basically forced to spend 2 item slots (one item to actually get gold, the other to give vision). Boots are obviously mandatory... (unless you wanna be camped the entire game) so supports are -always- forced to have 3 items doing almost the same thing every single game. Now yes, we could build item 2303 or other eye item... But then we'd lose a great active. And on that note I personally think the eye items are poor choices on traditional supports.

Now, it'd not be a good idea to simply remove it and be that. The health it gives is really valuable on our squishy friends Lulu ... So if Riot decides to ever remove the item I'd definitely want some buffs for squishy supports (Not all supports, Braum definitely doesn't need to be even more manly... or does he?).

It'd be great if supports had a way to provide a unique type of vision other roles can't do. Perhaps a new mastery that required buying a gold regen item?

I'd be up for ideas, and since Riot is trying to make support more appealing I honestly think this would be a step in the right direction. That... and utility scaling with utility items instead of AP.

only garbage support players are tired of warding. I'm tired of these shitty posts making sweeping generalizations about what I want as a support.

I want to be able to ward MORE than I already do. 4 isn't enough

all I want is more tank support items with CDR and some extra AP items

Everyone should Ward as it is already.

The Sightstone purchase does NOT mean that I will be the only one who should.

If anything, Sightstone should be empowered with more meaningful choices.

I ward more because I roam more than laners. Sightstone is fine, but ir needs better upgrades when you choose not to combine with yohr goldgen item.

"Sightstone should be removed in Season 7" No. No. No. No.

My Sightstone. My Wards. And I wish I could drop LOTS OF WARDS !!!! MORE WARDS !!!!

But, how about... Making some kind of ramification of Sightstone? Like the initial Jungle Items.

-Turquoise Sightstone - For AP Supports.

-Red Sightstone - A Sightstone that gives Health.

-White Sightstone - A Sightstone that gives Armor.

-Green Sightstone - A Sightstone that gives MR.

^ Or something crazy like that :D

And an Extra Slot for Control Wards. :D

MORE WAAAAAARDS !!!! YAAAAAAAAY !!!!

I disagree. I think everyone should have an item that builds out of Sightstone, not just supports. I think everyone should have the option of sacrificing an item slot to contribute to the team.

You doesn't seem to have any idea what supporting means...

Uhum, I get you on that. But remember, not every player in the game knows how to place a item 3361, and that's were we, supports, enter the game of warding. For example, if I don't see wards aside from the ones I'm putting, I'll tell my team to help me, and sometimes they don't even bother anyway, but sometimes they try.

And don't forget, we need to clean enemy's wards with item 3364. We can't eliminate Sightstone, to replace it with item 3361... Because not everyone uses item 3364 neither. :(

These already exist for your WHOLE team item 3340 item 3363

Why don't we remove damage items, tank items and AP items as well. After all if supports are mad fulfilling their jobs I'm complaining that I'm forced to build damage when quite frankly sometimes I just want to play a tanky ADC. It's unfair that you're pushing me into that role.

See how stupid that sounds? We need to make the support items more appealing which is exactly what they're trying to do and not get rid of them entirely. You should feel confident that when you're playing support you're gonna be able to influence the game in a way the other roles can and feel rewarded for doing so. Getting rid of the support items makes them just lesser versions of the other roles.

How about we remove you in Season 7?

Removing the best warding item in the game isn't going to make people magically place more wards, it's going to result in less vision overall.

item 3361 <- THIS OP item is what got more wards placed overall. The current trinket (item 3340) pails in comparison. If you want more wards placed by teammates, you've got to buff their warding item so the can actually place wards.
