Looks at their match history prior to patch 5.22
No green wards purchased in any of their games
Lol ok

I'd love to see how many of the people complaining about mana potions actually bought them as well. This shit happens all the time. Watch all of the insert unpopular champ here mains pop out as soon as said champ is changed in any way. It's all bullshit. This game is so ridiculously infested with sheep.
Dcrub. Don't you realize how badly that hurts supports.

How are they supposed to do their job now?

Its't not my job to ward. I'm to busy being awesome.

I mean, it's not like they're good for anything else.

Riot shouldn't take away their only purpose in life.

what ever -
Shut up.

I didn't like it at first. (And you can check my history; I've bought plenty of green wards.) It's growing on me, though. No green wards, weak yellow trinkets, and only 3 charges on sightstone really does seem to accomplish what they hoped it would: making vision control more meaningful. While laning, as support, I feel like I have to be judicious about where I put my wards. Sweeping an enemy ward feels more substantial. I'm not afraid that he's just going to replace it immediately. I see more people buying pink wards and they are as important for their permanence now as they are for their true sight. The only thing I haven't quite figured out yet is the upgraded red trinket. Am I missing something or is there ever a good reason NOT to upgrade it? The yellow-to-blue upgrade has a tradeoff.
As a Support main I'm hardwired to ward....all the time, regardless of role. This change rustled my jimmies well and truly.
I almost never bought wards, but the thing I did buy is the damn trinket upgrade, almost asap every game, the trinket is absolute shit now compared to that one, seriously it needs at least a slight buff, personally would like it to scale to how it was.
I would tend to be the person who bought the most wards in the game. Every time I backed I'd buy a pink and, if I had the gold, I'd get a green to double ward my mid lane. It's come in handy often and I don't understand why they'd take it out. I'm about as confused as when they took out Executioner's Calling, it made no sense to take out that item. I know I might be in the minority, that doesn't mean my play style should be directly affected when all that needed to happen was a slight tweak to the vision trinket. Removing them outright seemed like an act of frustration than a truly thought out plan.
I barely ever bought green wards, but I always had my yellow trinket upgrade starting at level 9. Placing ~40 wards in a 45-minute-long game is something I'll terribly miss...
I don't buy green wards normally, but because the totem's earlygame was gutted, the need for buying greens was necessary.
It's either buff the totems or bring back green wards, not both. Give lane bullies some chance to escape, at least.
hardly anyone wards anyways in low elos...I'm still constantly begging my team to ward and everything besides pinks are free now XD
I bought alot of green wards so I can play a aggressive mid lane but now I cant play cause it goes either push hard harass and get ganked die or play passive and get no lead in lane that I could have if I could ward both brushes.
