Or when you go to clear a ward and the enemy support tries to stop you, and your adc DOESN'T go in

You shouldn't be placing wards if a teamfight is starting.

Also there are so many times in laning phase I see bad supports get deep wards by drag so I flash onto the ADC for a free kill. You can't blame the ADC for that because it's the support's job to know when to ward. It could be avoided if the ADC followed you when you went to ward but that's expecting too much for Solo Q.

That must take a while to type out in game

This bugs the hell outta me. I'm a Support main, as well, and I actually thought I'd have peace after that whole "Only Supports Ward" thing ended, but this whole "you should be babysitting me 24/7 thing is getting on my last nerve". Like, there are 3 other players on this team. Just because I mainly reside bot lane does not mean you are the ONLY one I am supporting.

I'm there to babysit them early game, let them farm, maybe get a couple kills. After a tower dies I'm only sticking with the guy if I believe we can get something out of it, otherwise I'm off to mid/top after putting a couple wards down to keep his ass somewhat safe. Just gotta hope that guy takes a look at the minimap every couple seconds...

You know I actually got yelled at for warding once?

But...but it's true! :'(

Okay, sarcasm aside, I've been playing this game - and support - long enough to remember when it was the support's, and ONLY the support's, responsibility to ward.

These days though, I don't think much of it. I consider Vision to be a minigame in itself, and so I find it fun to have the Sightstone, and place wards to keep the map well-lit. It gives entertainment and extra satisfaction, and I am grinning wildly, when some enemy jungle-douche thinks he can just randomly come wandering down bot, looking to score some easy kills.

But this is something like "better nerf Irelia" - it's a joke that's just...stuck, ever since.

Gotta love the Lee Sin's sitting in your warded tri-bush waiting to dive and you're just sitting there, giggling like a schoolgirl, and typing "/all Nice weather in there, right Lee?" after a bit :P

I do despise one thing: the ADC that NEVER uses his god damn yellow trinket, like seriously, is it so hard to ward a lane brush?

"You had one job..." ~

Yes, YES, YEEES! OMG, that so true! Lulu's giving Jinx what is basically a telling off in her cute and squeaky voice. Loving it! xD

Though I'm struggling to differenciate between Lulu's actual voice and LilyPichu's...but I guess things can only get so purple. ^^

my statement was i always get a , usually on my 2nd back. if i have enough gold on 1st back i get it right away, or if im vs a jungler who ganks early ill at least back early and get a pink ward. but i will have my by 8 mins into the game. so i dont understand what your trying to point out.

Well it's actually 150 health, which is exactly as much as a ruby crystal, so not really worth buying if you only need health, and 500 for the upgraded one.

So yeah, some junglers might make good use of it, or just the Tracker's Knife, since roaming around the map is part of their job, but the other laners can only protected themselves with mere trinket, or a single pink ward.

They usually do, but they get cleared quite fast or just become irrelevant after laning phase ends.

I know that even simple math is extremely hard for some people, but I'll try to explain this as simple as possible.

At level 1, a trinket lasts for only 1 minute (60 seconds), and has a recharge time of 3 minutes (180 seconds). Even if you'd get 2 charges at the start of the game (but you don't), that would still mean that for at least 1 minute you're forced to lane in the dark.

Ok let's say you don't really need wards at level 1, for simplicity let's say you're level 9 (usually the laning phase is over by now, but let's assume it's not). That means your ward will provide vision for 90 seconds, and has a recharge time of 135 seconds. So, for every charge you are now forced to lane 45 in the dark.

Not to mention that wards get cleared all the time by junglers and enemy laners with pink wards.

And just because some noobs weren't buying green wards doesn't mean that nobody was using them. This change was clearly a buff to junglers, making ganks more possible because duh, less vision.

So go ahead, keep [zombie-brand-facepalm]-ing yourself.

Xerath's is to force him to get close to his enemy, so that he can have stronger spells. And there have been talks about changing LIssandra's since two years ago.
