League Of Legends: Control Ward Rework

Bradyo·7/7/2017, 6:41:27 PM·4 votes·805 views

Not having enough room to for a control ward sucks! And not getting to pick up your control ward is frustrating when mid game comes. If your control ward is bot lane and your team is grouped near baron, that ward serves no purpose. So, I have an idea to fix these problems.

First Fix:

Whenever you buy a control ward, it gets placed in 4 where your other "ward" is. And, instead of pressing and holding 4 to place down a ward, you press 4 to toggle which ward you want to place down and left-click where you want to place it. If you right-click after pressing 4, your left-click won't place a ward down. If you have an Oracle on 4, you have to left-click anywhere to use it. This way, you don't have to worry about giving up extra space for a control ward.

EDIT: When you press left-click + 4, a pinwheel will pop up showing the "wards" you have. Just like the pinwheels we have, all you have to do is drag the mouse to the ward you want to use. Once you do that, that ward will be activated. When you press 4, the ward you selected will be ready for use.

Second Fix:

Once you pick your control ward, it will go on a 30-second cooldown. It will still be placed in the 4 slot. If yu place it down when it's on cooldown, it will not spot anything.

Tell me your thoughts/critiques on this idea and whether or not this is a problem that you also have. ;)

This is one of the more intriguing suggestions for a ward slot I've seen, actually -- and I appreciate that it doesn't occupy more visual space on the client. My one concern is the ease of accidentally placing the wrong ward, which could be super frustrating. Perhaps something similar to the ping wheel, where if you just click it uses the normal trinket (since that's the one you'll likely use in an emergency if you're, say, Lee Sin ward-hopping) and if you click and drag to the left it places the vision ward?
