why is the vision score something we are able to see?

i remember back in season 3 i saw quite a lot of threads saying riot should show the win/lose record of the teammates in champ select so you can "dodge trolls". which riot answered in the correct way by saying this is stupid as it doesnt say anything and only creates more toxicity. someone losing 8 games in a row could still be the person to go 24/0 next game and carry your entire team.

so why is it that vision score is a thing now? i play ranked in low elo and its QUITE COMMON by now that i see someone say "omfg look at xy, 0 wards placed in XX min, such a fucking troll". i have never EVER seen anyone mention anything about vision score other than to blame their own teammates. so yeah i really dont get the point of it.

btw i hope player behavior is the correct forum for this. i wasnt sure if PB or gameplay.

edit: zpoopz gave me an answer so im happy. now this thread can be used for whatever you wish :D

So when someone tell me I need to ward more, I point to my 65 score and their 5 score while having the warding trinket the entire game...

I think it's more so that you can watch your own vision score and realize if you need do improve and at what points you need to do better, and compare your vision score with other players so you get an idea how you're doing.

I personally never look at my teammate's vision scores unless it's to compare it to my own, just to see if I've been placing as many wards as the rest of them, since that's something I can be deficient at. It's helpful trying to improve.

For example I often find myself with 2 trinket wards when I'm just farming passively at tower. Part of me justifies it by saying "I don't need that vision right now, I'm safe under my tower", but the other part of me says "You should have placed that ward BEFORE getting shoved under tower so your teammates can have vision, derp"

To probably reduce the instances of "omg you don't do anything support/jungle" and make others self aware that they aren't warding ridding wards. Maybe
