Vision matters, or Does it?

I ended up asking myself this question The past month.

[ Storytime with Teemo ] Long ago A lulu told me. "Every death you have is fault of your own. Map awareness, keeping vision is key to this game." It's something I would force myself to do, often buying a sight stone top, mid, jungle. I'd buying vision wards for ganks early on or roam merely to provide vision for my team. It made a huge impact as despite my teams poor map awareness I could plan ahead controlling outcomes.

Flash forward to the current League these things no longer exist, but now we have. item 3364 starting with 90s cooldown lv1 lasting 10 seconds moveable vs A regular ward item 3340 120 second cooldown lv1 lasts 90 seconds stationary. But also item 3147 later on.

Having item 3364 means item 3340 means nothing in lane. You need item 2055 item 3340 is only valuable in the enemy jungle. Placing it within the bush when their going to use their item 3364 means what's the point? I will say no jungler should be ganking without it unless he wants to waste his time and alert the enemy his whereabouts. I ended up changing my style playing Ekko Rumble jungle . Where I found myself not only being more relevant, but carrying Being free to stack item 3041 As games progressed the lack of vision changes. Less item 2055 exist but the value of item 2057 becomes Absolute, revolving certain bushes and ofc dragon/ baron. Everyone's no longer in their supposed lanes freely to gank so the value of item 3364 immediately decreases.

The result creates what I'd consider a cluster of bad decision making. This is when your Janna gets picked off because she wanted to give vision and got nautilus hooked in a tribush. The Garen Paranoia kicks in and everyone results in Aram which consists of everyone trying to be safe clumping together, but unless you have 3/5 players carrying or an enemy previously picked off so it's a 4v5 Your just gambling and there is no planning ahead no strategy beyond running each other like minions do. I don't blame the community for not being able to adapt to this issue, There are some players who are. I've heard of a few Klepto Kennen with item 3310 top lane where they ignore farm to provide better vision for their team. without vision players are left totally in the dark. And I see junglers to be abusive of the fact. along with Assassin's item 3147 I don't have a huge deal with the item itself, but it finds its way on a lot of ad champs and between the two item 3147 item 3364 The only way to stop the tax collector is to pay him rent. item 2055

Wards? *laughs in item 3147 *

Yeah vision is a joke now. Important but still a joke.
