Ward Clarity

This could be marked up as a complaint or just me being lazy but-

There should be a buff icon (hidden of course) to represent the number of wards you have on the map from Sightstone item 2049 . Much like mikael's Crucible item 3222, a small item 2049 icon with n / 3 on it.

You could also just make it a displayed stat underneath of the trinket slot. a small n / 3 so that it's only seeable by the player.

I know I know, it's not hard to just mouse over and check, but it still irks me. Especially since the great people of Riot have taken the stance "Player Vs. Player" instead of "Player Vs. Interface". I personally think this would add a little clarity to an important game mechanic, and help out supports worldwide.

Edit: Another suggestion is to have a more noticeable way to see which ward will disappear next (Credit: AbodyHUN666)

That's not a bad idea. As a support main, I also dislike having to mouse over my SS or ward to see my current total wards on the map. A n/3 and n/1 icon for green and pink wards would be useful.

Interesting! I have quickcast with range indicators on, which means all I have to do is hold down the sightstone or trinket key to see the ward count, and then click to cancel, so I personally haven't had any issues with ward count (requires no mouse-over to check).

Hmm didn't know that! I doubt I'll turn on the indicators though, I'm so use to not having them that I think the small delay may mess with me somewhat.

this would help a lot. Also we should have a way to see which ward is going to disappear next if we place one more.

Yeah, I want this way more than I wanna know how many wards I've got down.

Actually if you hover over the trinket, it'll show the next ward to disappear by placing a small red X over it on the minimap. I also second this idea, it would definately be useful if it was more noticeable though. Maybe a small red ping animation on the minimap to indicate?

Shameless bump for ideas!
