Pink Ward change to increase strength in a QoL way.

All I want is a pretty minor buff, a change so that Pink Wards are only visible to champion units/other pink wards. This would mean that you actually have to check inside the bush, rather than just ward it at range, or even worse, use an ability which grants vision of an area, to see a pink ward. I would give this pseudo-stealth a 3 second delay to enter, just like normal wards, so that you could potentially notice one right as it is getting placed if you already had vision of the area. This would make them much easier to defend if placed properly or in a fight, and prevent some of the more cheap methods of destroying them that some exetionally long ranged champs can abuse.

I think the amount of difficulty to destroy a pink ward is appropriate. Because they have the additional ability to see other wards, there needs to be a significant trade-off compared to stealth wards. Before this was the case, pink wards were pretty much superior to green wards, the trade-offs of the increased price were not enough to off-set the additional benefit. In other words, I think it's at a good balance right now.

Also, the phrase "quality of life" is generally used to refer to a change that wouldn't improve the performance in highest level play (ie a player who is doing everything right) and usually means "removing ways to mess up", rather than "small buffs".
