Sightstone seriously needs to recharge over time like trinkets. It's honestly trash in comparison...

Basically, trinkets outscale sightstones at about 25-30 min because you can keep pressure/stay active in the field as long as you want while still keeping vision up, where as if you had sightstone and want to keep vision up you are forced to recall every 2-3 minutes...

I often find myself able to be active on the field for extended periods of 10+ minutes at a time(not all the time, simmer down), only needing to recall for important item spikes.

Thus after many games with and without sightstone, I've come to the conclusion that item 2049 just isn't worth it anymore..

I completly understand the value of having the sweeper to go with the sightstone but I still find the extra power in a real item and the continuous ward charges vastly outweigh it.

I mean, you are 40 min in to the game, and you ward around drag with a sightstone, but shortly after the enemy team tries to rush baron instead so you are forced to run to it with no wards.

Now if you warded drag area with trinket, and shortly after you are forced to run to stop a baron attempt, you will likely have a ward charged before if not during the contention fight.

But w8, theres more!

Depending on how that fight goes, there is a good chance you come out alive, and if your health/mana bar are good or can regen, all you need are some wards.

And thats when item 3340 kicks the living shit out of item 2049

So please, be fair rito, let ss recharge over time.

You had a 9 and 11 minute gap in getting items in your last game. While you are busy staying out in the field because you have good regen, the enemy will come back with better items; you need to recall for items more frequently, which will result in your Sightstone being recharged as well.

If you absolutely don't want to do that, you don't have to. Play the way that works for you; but that way doesn't work for most people (most people don't play a manaless Support with good health regen btw).

To follow up on DTN.

You're playing Zac support. If you have no desire to play the "meta", which is fine, you play the game how you want, then why does it matter if you build meta or not?

Also, efficient use of sightstone involves recalling every 5 minutes or so. If you spend more time than that without recalling, it's hurting you in more ways than just sightstone charges.

Point being, Riot has no reason to cater SS balance to your specific off-meta pick. SS is such a good item that it is taken in over 99% of games by both supports.
