Item Feature: Pink Ward Timer

Type 0··4 votes·590 views

Earlier today, I played a few games with a few friends of mine, and being against an Evelynn, I bought a pink ward after my first back. We laughed and made jokes throughout, about how long my ward had stayed there, untouched, for about 27 minutes.

Even the shoutcasters for LCS games like to poke fun at the duration of pink wards, saying things like "Oh, that ward's been there for a good six or seven minutes now, that's definitely paid itself off," or "Oh, that ward barely lasted a minute!"

Seeing how Stealth Wards already have their own timer (The 180/180 bar that gradually drains until the ward expires,) does anybody else think that a bar that counts the seconds a pink ward has been placed would be cool?

Tl;dr, a timer that counts how long your pink ward's been alive would be pretty cool. item 2043

Would be cool, but doesn't seem like a high priority

But it would be really easy to do, like literally 5 minutes of coding.

Yeah, I would definitely like to see it. It's one of the small QoL changes that would be cool. It'd just probably get pushed aside by other stuff like the item 3303 changes or the champion reworks and stuff though :/

Maybe visible to your own team only, but yeah. Would be nice.

If I found an enemy pink and it told me it'd been up 20 minutes I would be cracking up.

I'd kick myself for not finding it sooner.

I do like this idea though. :p

It used to have a timer, remember? Then in lane(especially botlane) it became a war of 'who bought more stealth wards' to clear out the enemy's wards.

Mhm, it DID have a timer, but that timer was to indicate the time it had until it expired.

Since pink wards no longer stealth themselves or expire, the need for an expiry timer is no longer there. I think it'd be cool to have one like the op suggested.
