Vision Balance and Inventory Limits

The restrictions of 3 Stealth wards and 2 Vision wards at a time is a* bit harsh*.

With the potential for a double lens lane, at least for their starting trinket, if the support starts with 3 stealth wards and 2 pinks, and they have 2 sweeping lenses to clear out vision, they can easily tackle the enemy support's limit of 3 stealth wards on hand at a time with a spare sweep to clear out a totem ward.

Obviously this start is a bit pink heavy, but if you lay down the law and shut down every attempt they make at control and have a pink sitting safely in the back of a lane brush they can't contest it... And unless this lane can match their opponents early aggression they have no way to deal with this vision denial.

They only real chance I can see for facing a high pressure/kill lane with double lens and an all consumable start support (besides having out-picked them) is to have the foresight to start the exact same way and get your jungler down ASAP.

I like emergent strategy and a constantly pushing and pulling sort of struggle for power and all that... But I feel like this is going to be a bit too problematic for soloqueue... Just something to keep an eye on...

A simple fix would be to allow a max of 5 Stealth wards in inventory at a time, so that if brutal vision denial tactics are correctly applied at least they have some extra wards to scrape out SOME vision without having to go double Totem and having maybe 1 ward up that will probably be a 60s ward not doing too much for them.

I was under the impression you could only place three wards at a time. There is not cap on your wards in inventory just the amount you can put on the ground it is just like warding with a ruby sightstone now.
