Pink Wards!

The pink ward cap is fine, but defending against invisible champs is near impossible. Sure, you can see when someone is attacking it, but usually it's the laner or the support, not the person you're trying to protect yourself from. The pink ward was fine when it was invisible, and should be for season 4. Teemo, Evelyn, Twitch, and Rengar are currently wrecking solo queue because we cannot do anything about it.

"Make me invisible again plz! Save the squishy supports from the Rengars!"

(Also if you put a pink ward in the rocks of the dragon wall, the enemy can't clear it but that seems more like a bug)

I think they should be partially invisible... turn visible if you get really close to them... I think that'd be a fine compromise.

That and/or give them personal health-regen, so an enemy has to all-in one in order to take it down.

I've heard this complaint a lot, and it's clearly a valid concern. I haven't run into any issues with it yet, but if it's truly that strong I'm sure it won't be long before the Stealth Team emerges.

However, it seems to me that the change needs to be in where you place the wards. The standard Season 3 locations are obvious and easy to handle. Try putting it in a spot where you can defend it if it's attacked. Pink Wards should be major strategic decisions, and I think that's what Riot was going for.

I think we all just need to wait and see what this season's players come up with before we start judging things as wrong. I'm glad to see to vision being more strategic in this season instead of just slapping wards everywhere all the time like in Season 3.

i think instead or health or regen, pink wards should be just a time limit. the only way to get rid of it would be to use a sweeping trinket or to let the time run out. this would make warding a more complex strategy about countering pink wards

The item 2043 should be invisible again. The item 3341 was made for clearing that bad boy out. If they wanted to change it, pink wards should last forever, but after 2 minutes they should become visible like they are right now. is completely useless now.
