I feel as though there should be and support item that works like most of the others with the leveling and such however instead of placing wards it once every insert time here it gets a charge to identify and steal a ward (control wards take 2 charges)
.... I feel like you don't know how support items work currently ..
They don't scale with level. They upgrade when you have accumulated 500g and 1000g through the gold per second and their Tribute and Spoils of War passives.
You also don't get the ability to place wards as charges accumulated over time.
The first upgrade will automatically give you 1 charge 5 seconds after you have dropped out of combat after reaching 500g, and 3 charges every time you return or spawn at base. When you reach 1000g your maximum charges will increase to 4.
You can still only have 3 standard wards on the map, regardless of your charge limit, and this counts yellow trinket charges too.
If you place all of your charges, no matter how long you stay on the map, you will not gain additional charges.
Yellow trinkets will recharge, and that might be what you're thinking of.
Tell you what, .. I have an alternative for you.
How about when a player has fully upgraded their support item, they can exchange their trinket for a control ward for free each time they return to base?
After placing the control ward, their trinket slot will automatically revert to the trinket they had previously selected on full cooldown.
This would open up an item slot for them.
I'm not sure how useful it would really be though, .. I think once you have reached the 500g upgrade, swapping to Oracle's Lens or Farsight Alteration gives you pretty awesome vision control as it is.
AD supports have it even better. Upgraded support item and Umbral Glaive makes you a vision monster
