Some preemptive question about upcoming content

Been keeping my eye out on some of the PBE stuff (thank you Moobeat and S@20 :D )and the recently announced S4 changes. Got a few questions, apologies if they've already been asked!

Rammus VU
Like it! Seriously looking forward to it. Are there any other champions on a TU list? Anyone here have a champ they want texture updated? (keep in mind TU probably means no VU)

S4 Ward limit abuse
So the upcoming ward limit is an awesome idea, no more support only warding, woot! But I am curious about the single pink ward limit. If, as an example, I see an enemy champ hitting my pink I could (as I understand it) walk over to another good warding spot and place another pink down before the first is destroyed, denying the enemy champ gold. Sure I have to place my pink somewhere else, but is this angle of ward-play intentional?

Lens Trinket vs. CV
I'm sure this has already been asked, but with the introduction of this trinket what are the plans for CV? Are the AOE's different enough to warrant keeping both unchanged? Personally I would love to see CV get a bit extra, like some gold per champ hit, or increased time of reveal for how far away a champ is.

Re-works
So a lot of re-works have come out/coming out this season and it's awesome. That being said can we expect about the same amount/frequency of re-works in S4? Too early to tell?

Sum>Parts
We have A LOT of changes coming in for S4, and I am excited! But are we going to get a compilation of all the upcoming changes once they are all announced? Sorta like patch notes before the patch? I just want to make sure I don't miss anything before pre-season drops!

Turret Gold
Literally JUST read this and I already questions popping up. Only one I have really is whether there is still a team bonus to it. To clarify, if I solo my turret down in top, do I just get ALL the gold, or most of it while my team gets some spare change?

New Baron Buff
While I see this has been rolled back, I have a question on the general direction of new Purple Buff. If the goal here is increased siege capability does that mean it going to be solely intended for the winning team? What incentives (besides denying the other team/gold) will the losing team have in taking baron?

Am I going to have more questions?
Yes, yes I am, but I have a Psych Test coming and several LoL themed costumes to make for an awesome Halloween party so I'll pop in with more whenever I can.

Ward timers: I really don't see this being a huge issue. Is it really that worthwhile to drop a pink ward in what may be a sub-optimal spot just to deny the other team 25 gold? Especially keeping in mind that you're likely spending more than 25 gold just to deny the other team 25 gold.

CV/Lens: They touched on this slightly, but I also think they said they weren't totally sure what would happen with CV. The advantages they listed for CV over Lens is that it truly is global. Sweeper has a maximum cast distance (although large). The vision from CV will also last longer than what Lens gives you. And I think I read something about the vision radius being a bit larger on CV than Lens. Granted, CV has been largely ignored for quite some time. So I'm kinda expecting it to stay that way, unless the overall vision changes make it come back into style. Then you could run CV and Lens on support and be the other team's jungler's worst nightmare :P

About Turret Gold, it says that the person who destroys the turret gets a bunch of gold the rest of the team gets a little gold.

Baron buff: Supposed to help just push down turrets effectively ending the game. Helps out the losing team by securing the buff so that winning team just can't rolf stomp their way through losing team's defense. Could be useful for losing team too as they could take out objectives quick and run away.

As for the ward situation, I hadn't thought of that. Maybe they might limit you to only being able to carry 1 pink ward at a time? So I guess you could drop it go back to shop and pick another up. Unless they change this so the game knows if you have a ward of your own already placed somewhere.... hmm.
