Warding Items for All Classes

So, in Preseason, Rito said one of the changes that they wanted to make was for vision to be easier and more available. They did this fairly well actually........for supports and junglers who buy Sighstone.

The removal of green wards from the shop made it harder for the map to be theoretically covered with 15 wards per team, not counting pinks. Rito has basically made it impossible for solo laners to ward up the river or theie jungler's camps and also limited warding to basically anyone who wants to buy a Sighstone (supports, junglers like Nunu and Sejuani, Lee Sin), as pinks are now the only wards available to those who don't have one. Sure, pinks are cheaper now, but you can only have 1 per player and getting one late game (when they are arguably more important), means selling an item, which is a huge no-no. Since 5.22, I've found it harder to convince teammates to buy some wards, even EARLY game, because, y'know, wards save lives.

So, I propose something akin to what Riot did with supports- too long they told us, have supports been forced to 'waste' a slot on their Ruby when they could have another tank or active or utility AP item. So they came up with the cool Eye items, which I really like. Or the new jungler T2, which lets you put down wards instead of fun shit with Smite.

Why not do the same with AD carries, or assassins like Yasuo and Zed, or AD casters like Pantheon and Riven?

Why not do the same with tanks like Sion and Mundo, or big, beefy bruisers like Nasus or Gnar?

Why not do the same with AP assassins like Katarina and LeBlanc, or utility mages who don't like support, like Lulu and Orianna, or punishing burst and combo mages like Vel'Koz, Viktor, and Syndra?

How, you ask?

Say hello to my friend Doran.

Everyone's favorite weaponsmaker has been a little forgotten ever since the Institute was retconned. And his items are sing some very heavy competition with all the early game items changes, such as Cull or more carries opting for the early game power of an Amp Tome or Long Sword.

Why not give people more incentive to purchase Doran's fine works of craftsmanship? I propose having and build into T2 items that can upgrade into (or fuse with Sighstone to create) a T3 item that gives the necessary stats for the champions that start that item while also giving an active of placing a Sight Ward.

Below are my ideas.

UNIQUE Passive: Snakeskin Basic attacks and single-target spells restore 1.5% of your maximum health and reflect that amount as magic damage to the attacker.

I tried to do the gold costs for the items and calculate their gold efficiency, but I couldn't do it, it eventually all went over my head. Sorry!

Feel free to leave comments below. Are the numerous passives too strong? Is one weaker than the other? Do you fear that supports will get these items instead of FOTM, FQC, and ToA?

I hope Riot sees this, not necessarily for my item ideas, but simply for my concerns of less warding options in a world that needs wards. Supports are the best class huehuehue

Thank you for reading!
