does that mean, riot truly believes removing vision almost entirely to make the map pitch black at all times is exciting? so exciting, i literally can't see anything! give me back green wards plsssssss
NineLash3s1 votesFirst this is a two point post even if you aren't aware. So I will hit both.
Is Riot Balancing the game for LCS. Yes They are. Not entirely because most champions in the game won't see play in the LCS anyways but yeah generally this is true. Is it a bad thing? Yes and No.
Second thank god no more green wards. I understand not having vision sucks and I do feel they went a bit over board with vision reduction but a ward every bush that wasn't and was absolutely terrible for jungle players. A role that is already suffering.

then at least bring back sightstone. it caused zero problems, there was zero reason for its removal, and there were champs outside of support that benefitted from it, like lee sin. i liked blowing my extra money on green wards. at the time i was terrible at the game and still died from ganks because i never watched the map, but it was still nice to have the option if i wasnt awful.
NineLash3s1 votesI understand your point the problem is even in silver you give a lot of vision options the game gets boring. If you can see where everyone is all the time what fun is that. So what do you want. No ganks for you or the enemy and vision everywhere or less vision?
DrCyanide1 votesActually, they did remove the green wards because of high level/LCS play. With Green Wards and trinket wards available, teams could see a high percentage of the map, and thus play very safe and die/fight very little. Removing that vision creates more situations where you need to face check or take a slightly risky play.
But that's also based on the whole team warding well and CSing well enough they can all afford multiple pink wards. The model doesn't hold at lower ranks very well, with one or two people forgetting their ticket slot even exists in a given game. (And lower ranks are always willing to fight)
NineLash3s1 votesIt was based on the LCS for the ward changes but it was needed across all elo's.
