Changes to Pink Wards.

So I had this idea for Pink Wards.

I've been noticing in games lately that junglers and supports in particular are still pouring gold into Pink Wards to win the "War of the Wards," reason being that pink wards are so damn good.

I propose this change to Pink Wards: Have them remain invisible, but have them only grant vision to stealthed champions, instead of granting true vision. Maybe have the invisibility work like an Evelynn passive, and slowly fade into vision as a player walks closer to them. I feel like it will give Pink Wards more of a specific purpose and reason for purchase, as opposed to just buying them because "THEY GIVE BEST VISION."

They'd be even more of a waste of money then. Buy them for what, then? To stop the ganks of like 2-3 champions?

I think it's an interesting idea, but I think that pink wards are fine, currently. Firstly, because each person can only have one of them. Secondly, because they cost more than green wards, so if you can take a pink ward after they take a green of yours, you're ahead, and finally because they're visible and thus easy to clear. If your lane opponent is using lots of pinks to deny you vision, and you're too far behind to clear them, ask your jungler to come help you clear (Not a gank, just coming to lane so you can clear the ward safely).
