Riot, what made the old pink ward trinket so "toxic" for S6 that it had to be removed?

Without that pink trinket, you're just pigeonholing supports into going 5 items + pink wards, and letting stealth Champions run rampant. What's so wrong with a trinket that lets you plant pink wards?

  • Sweeper alteration Only shows u where the champion is u cant do anything to them unless u have some form of cc the can be used w/o sight (EX: Alistar pulverize,)

  • the radius is not that big (Rengar can jump in, Talon can cut throat it , Twitch doesn't need to get close to it, Shaco can deceive it only seems to work against Evelynn and Akali.)

  • 4/6 of those champs can 100 - 0 a squishy before they are seen and the only one who cant is Evelyn because she would be seen before she got close and Akali since she needs to get there then shroud and by then she could be dead. Any others unless u know where they are before they go in U just lost your adc/apc

What are you talking about a sweeper upgraded follows you for ten seconds. That is all the time you need

OK going off what u just said you used item 3364 or item 3341 could Only stop 1 champ out the the group which is rengar any other champ can just back off and wait for your trinket to drop which has a "120 SECOND" Cool down they can just engage after that no problem

I agree you are forcing someone on a team Probably the support to not get there 6th item because the enemy has a invis that can potentially 100 - 0 your carrys which makes you not get the 6th item the could be something needed.

i would Normaly Get pink trinket when a invis champ was out of control

No one used it that's what made it toxic.

Only because it was something you had to pay for.

And I saw it used PLENTY whenever there were rampaging stealths. Especially against Evelynn.

The sweeper is better versus invisible champs. But the real reason pink wards updrage were removed was because they didn't want you to have free pink wards forever.

Was. Now sweeper pretty much useless against stealthed. You can only see where they go but they are untargetable.

So apparently I have to pay 75 gold every time I want a pink for my lane , plus if they have an akali... stupid logic.
