Getting paid to ward? Kappa?

It's no secret that a lot of people in this game don't know how to ward. Or, they just don't want to. Whether it be them just being too lazy, stubborn, or trying to spite you, you can guarantee there will always be something. Most people are stubborn, and most people ALSO like money. So, what better way to get people to ward than with money?

I'm proposing that we give people gold for placing wards.

How will this work? Well, I have an idea, just Volibear with me.

We could put some sort of TwistedFate passive on item 2049 and item 3361 The sightstone passive could work like twisted fates, and the yellow trinket could have an increased gold amount received since it already has a very large cooldown and only holds 2 charges at once. considering the large cooldown of yellow trinket, we might consider upping the gold received on the trinket passive to something in the realms of 50-75.

But what if people just stand in the pool and throw wards down with the sight stone? Put the passive on a CD. Say, 15-20 seconds? Most people i'm referring to anyways wouldn't be purchasing a sightstone, though.

I feel like this is something that would not only be beneficial to a Support's income, but it would incentivize people to start finally putting down some vision. I can't explain to you how many people brush off warding as if it's not important, or it's just something you do when you're bored.

Warding is important, and helping your team is even more important. So, why not both?¿

And as anyone in high elo will tell you: Warding, OP. So what're you waiting for? Diamond is sitting in your inventory.

tl;dr: Gold giving passive on Yellow Trink/Sightstone for ward Incentivising/Support income.

It wouldn't teach people how to ward well. They'd just slap a ward down in the nearest bush on cooldown to collect the money as soon as it was available.

Each time any enemy champion is spotted by your item 2043 , gain X gold Insert reasonable cooldown for spotting the same champion here

Maybe something like this?

keep the current timer. just award 15g every time you place ward, not counting item 2049. I mean item 3361 . itll make players remember its there. train people to place it.
