is it wrong as support to sell your support item after said support item is fully upgraded?

logic is this: if support item has a poaching penalty even after the fact its established its full power wouldnt it be more efficent combat wise to buy pinks instead since they are gutting hardcore mages such as brand or zyra? it would be somewhat more efficent after say 5 min after final upgrade since hey the item isnt doing its job anymore of supplying you gold so you basically "fire" it. would you get more from selling it and replacing it? powerwise ofc

i read the passive after its fully upgraded and was surprised its still has that nerf on it.

you aren't playing support to be based around 100% combat effectivity, support is a utility carry in most cases unless you're a degenerate and play brand or zyra and just want to oneshot the world

one ward used correctly and good communication can usually = free kill, you can't get enough vision on the map without your support item

vision's the most busted mechanic in the game if executed correctly

You don't need to sell it, it is worth very little anyway. You just need to prioritize the proper CS to not get the penalty (cannon minions, gromp, scuttles, and blue buff). Taking your own team's blue is probably one scumbag step too far, though unless you are fed, carrying, and the other potential blue users are trashcans.

Taking the enemy jg's gromp, blue, and wolves is ideal. And scuttles is part of the vision game so it is fair game I would say. However, you will still be much more poor than any other role unless you are getting kill gold (not assist), so don't be afraid to KS.

Of course, if someone AFKs and you are in a 4v5, you should sell the item immediately. As nice as the wards are, they are not gold and items, and you will be forced to clear waves.

Don't sell it unless you winning and have priority on drakes. Heck, don't even sell it unless you need the room. It's only worth 160 gold so no matter how useless it becomes, its not going to give you anything to sell.

If you need room though then sell it. Or if you going to sell it and grab another support item that has like AP.

You only get 160 gold for selling it, and you will lose 1700 gold worth of stats So definitely not sell it.

You realize the support items give you wards right?
