Don't pick support if you want to play a mage

This sucks but does not matter

If you are not getting a sight stone you are probably not warding effectively.

Well the keyword in your own reply is "probably" that means you acknowledge the possibility that i could very well be. You don't need a sight stone to ward efficiently otherwise everyone would buy a sightstone by that logic.

A person can be a shitty warder with a sightstone, and another person can be a fantastic warder without one. Furthermore if your team is all pitching in to maintain vision together you will have optimal vision; sightstone or not.

If i see that the enemy team is lacking in the ward department(much like every team i see tbh) then after level 9 i sell my SS for and , sweepers become useless because il catch that no one will upgr their trinkets and stick to pinks which alway put my team at a slight advantage. I say slight because 95% of my teams don't ward..at all. Any vision is better than no vision. my totem is always on cd if wards are up and very often will my wards mean anything being the only one keeping them up.

I only switch back to SS if the enemy team is warding/sweeping more diligently than my team, if not i refuse to get a SS because at the same time my own team will not contribute and i get sick of having to back with full hp/mp just because i ran out of SS charges. Not to mention il have teams who pay no mind to the mini map, and solely relying on** me** to call mia or ping if there is a possible gank incoming from anywhere(mid/bot). and i have even gotten harassed earlier because my ward timers expired while i was restocking at base and yet my adc continued to extend to take out a tier 2 tower with no vision, thus dying because of it.

*Ward timers expired, now back at the shop to refill *

Dies to a gank from all sides from the fed and trying to take out a 2nd turret "Thresh..buy a sightstone please" "I have had this SS since lvl 6, how about you upgrade your own trinket and help ward?" lvl 13 now "oh well...then use it more often"(Ignored the last part of what i said) "........" Doesn't speak for the rest of the game. Trades for +

We won that game. GG

Also had a game where my adc was ping spamming me to ward specific places every time she got caught out (despite my danger pings and 3 placed wards), she never upgraded her own trinket, or bought a single ward..except our awesome jungler and top laner.

"We need wards in our jg. upgrade your trinkets NOW" Upgrades , wards already placed gets caught out again near drag pit "Sona ward this spot here NOW" replaces ward

3mins later got caught out again this time on the opposite side Sona, wards in this jg get to it places pink, bc there are still fresh wards on the other side dies near drag again, my 2 wards expired "Sona where are the wards?" "Upgrade your fking trinket." "I don't have to, all i need is the basic one" "what good is 60sec worth of vision??? Q_Q" "Very important" "....upgrade your own trinket, your making me waste new wards, either keep track of the mini map or upgrade your trinket, you do not ward as often as your telling me to " "I use my trinket to give you vision long enough to ward that spot safely. And besides warding is your job. ever read guides?" just died "BOTH OF YOU SHUT THE FK UP"

Embraces the Sona persona and becomes a Mute for the rest of the game

^ the depressing part about this game is that me and my adc stomped our lane opponent's during the laning phase ,i felt so proud of myself being able to make sure my adc could farm and get fed without a care, but fell off mid game when my adc fed because she thought she could 1v2 the fed mid and jg....repeatedly to the point where the opposite team was more fed than my own team off of the assist kills they got from my YOLO adc..not to say that i'm not at fault either, i followed her to my death trying to save her so many times while knowing she would lose. My urge to support her was too stronk.

I was surprised to find that a lot of unlikely champs can be good at adc(cough), i have yet to see a lulu one though, i bet it would be awesome.

Yeah, Riot needs to bring more utility/tank supports onto the level of thresh and Janna, they seem to have the best "supporting" kits in the game. Everyone of Thresh and Janna's abilities can be used for either disengage or engage unlike most other supports.
