I may not be ranked, and i can care less, BUT man i rarely see anyone upgrade a trinket in Ranked when i do play it ^_^.

I ended a match, and noticed no one upgraded their trinket. I was support, so i obviously bought Sightstone, also on top of that, got a pink, and then got a sweeper and upgraded it.

So if you are playing as Support in low elo queues, get a Sweeper Lens after getting a Sightstone, and then Upgrade your Sweeper Lens or whatever it is called. Why? To get rid of enemy wards, deny them that oh so precious vision.

What is the pink ward for, you already have Sightstone? Well, it can be placed in an area where you know you need vision and where enemies may not pass through there often, or ward an area where you need more permanent vision (Drag, Bottom lane end of the River and who cares if enemies destroy it, so long as you have long lasting vision and you can buy another). Also, Pink wards help reveal enemy stealth wards, so you basically have like two sweeper lenses.

Then upgrade your Sightstone to Ruby Sightstone, especially if you are a tankier champ, you get one extra charge for your wards and a bit more health.

Also, Sightstone is not just for Supports. If i am Jungler, no need to complain or get angry if i play Ranked or even when i play Normal and i buy a Sightstone, like Braum says "Sights is the key to victory" and Braum knows best. Like i said, when you are a tankier champ, but in this case a tanky Jungle champion, Ruby Sightstone can be beneficial in two ways. One you ward your rivers or jungle to prevent ganks/flanks and/or keep your jungle safer from enemies trying to steal buffs or counter jungle. Furthermore, for the more brave of you folks, you can even keep an eye on the enemy jungler if you ward their Jungle which can help give a heads up to those that actually look at the minimap on knowing where an enemy is heading (sobrepaza los 8000!). And you can even deny vision when you pair Sightstone/Ruby Sightstone with Sweeping Lens and/or Pink Totems ^_^ (it's over 9000!).

As a non-tanky Support, there are other items that provide Ability Power and vision, so you can even try getting those items (yep, idk name, so i will need to look it up)... Twin Shadows is what it is called. Twin Shadows is kind of like Kalista's little vision granting ghost, except they last for like 5 or 6 seconds and you can pick them back up to reduce the cooldown if they find no enemies, and IF they DO FIND enemies they slow the target's speed by like 40% for like 2 seconds.

Like i said, i'm not Ranked, and i'm pretty newbish, but this should be something that you should really get use to doing and using. Not in the hopes you become LCS or World's material, but to play a bit more efficiently since people seem to really think winning is the only way to have fun in this game.
