So im gold 1 and i still dont understand why people get blue trinket on adc. I understand when you pick up sweeper or just stay with yellow and upgrade... but why blue? it seems much worse than yellow to me.

So you don't have to face check bushes ect. Don't need to be diamond to understand it. If you notice enemy laners positioning more aggressively you can safely check around you in un warded areas of the map. plus if you have a ranged ult (cait, jinx, graves etc) it just works in synergy with the champ. Another example is during team fights and an enemy goes in to fog you can continue to aa without say for example being in range of a darius e and not knowing it.

Basically what im getting at is you have range, and the trinket gives you visibility with range. works on mid laners for that reason too (xerath etc)

i get how it synergies with the ults... but as cait, jinx, graves, you use abilities to facecheck, AND you have a yellowtrinket in case that ability is down. Still dont see any point in blue trinket.

also the reason i said question for diamond, is because they started this trend, like how they start almost everything considered to be "op"

koreans used to play lulu mid almost every game. bronze and silver copied it without knowing WHY. Hell I had someone in my game that didnt know his autos did extra damage and he still decided to go lulu mid because the "koreans thought it was op"

It was most likely picked up from pro play, but as for having abilities to check and yellow trinket they are still shorter range than having blue. Plus upgrading blue gives you a ward pretty much.

To retain vision of someone in brush.

On someone like Caitlyn, Jinx, Kog'Maw, Tristana, etc the Range to place a ward is shorter than your Auto-Attack Range. This means that if someone enters a brush, you're putting yourself at less than maximum AA Range in order to ward and regain vision of them which is non-optimal. With Scrying Orb, however, this is not the case.

Opting for Scrying Orb also provides a bit of a safety net for an AD Carry who wants to farm a side lane or go through their jungle to take red and what not.

The only other real option for an AD Carry is to go for a Warding Totem and upgrade it to a Greater Vision Totem. However, this should really only be the case vs. stealth champions.
