Match history ward count

Hi,

I noticed that the ward count in the match history seems to mistake Teemo 's shrooms and Zed 's shadow (it might only be the one from his ultimate) for wards. When I look at the match history and see that teemo(or, as some may call him, Satan) put 92 wards and zed put 39 wards, I'm kind of confused.

First of all, there are 3 things to consider : 1. : What kind of information do we really want when we look at the ward count? 2. : Considering the answer to the previous question, are teemo's shrooms wards or are they not? and Shaco's Jacks in the Box? 3. : Why in all Frejlord would we consider Zed's Shadow as a ward??

  1. : I personnally use the match history's ward count to see who participated in the vision game and who helped his team by doing so. It's not only to compare myself to random people, because since I play a lot of ranked team games(or normal games queued as 5 to practice for real ranked stuff), this is the kind of statistics that can help my team when it comes to pointing out each other's strenghts and weaknesses in order to improve.

  2. : Now while I understand that some may argue that teemo's shrooms and shaco's boxes do in fact provide vision and help the team wining the vision game, I think that it is still irrelevant to know that teemo placed 82 shrooms in this game since this isnt representative of how much the player would participate to the vision game on any other champion. Therefore I think that teemo's shrooms should not be counted as a ward in the match history's statistics.

  3. : No. Reason. At all.

I hope I was clear enough for people to understand me as I'm not a native english speaker. I'd enjoy any constructive criticism around.

**tl ; dr ** Match history shouldnt count Teemo 's shrooms, Shaco 's boxes and Zed 's Shadows as wards.

On a similar note, I think I would rather see a break down of how many of what wards were placed instead of how many of what were purchased. I play support a lot and when I do I like to see how many greens I placed and how many pinks I placed. I typically only purchase 2 and rely heavily on my sightstone and trinket upgrade to place wards but I don't know how many of what I placed.
