Upgraded trinkets and you!

Can we please have a huge headliner article in the launcher about the upgraded trinkets? Too many people are not upgrading and I believe it is because they just don't know about it... and it sounds too good to be true when I tell them.

EDIT#2: I forgot to mention something. Upgrading your trinket before level 9 is not even possible. This probably has a hand in why people aren't upgrading. It's easy to forget!

item 3361 Considered a "Lesser Lesser sighstone" this item slowly gains charges, but ensures you will not even have to think about purchasing a stealth ward or have it take up inventory space to grant your team vision.

item 3362 A lookalike counterpart to the greater stealth ward totem, this right here will slowly charge up to give you a pink ward once in awhile. This item is extremely helpful when the enemy team has those pesky stealth mechanics. Vayne Khazix Talon Akali Of course it is also always helpful when trying to control the vision of the enemy team as well!

item 3342 This item is great for scouting at a safe distance. It has other uses too, like revealing enemies for a global skill shot. The upgraded counterpart ( item 3363 ) will give you more range on a shorter cooldown, while also placing a unique ward in the area from an extremely safe distance.

item 3341 This item will reveal and disable nearby wards and traps. Note that at level 9 it will become more effective by default with increased range and a lower cooldown. I believe the upgraded version ( item 3364 ) gives you even more range AND will also reveal invisible champions caught within the radius. Also note, that while this item disables the sight granted from wards, enemies can still see the animation of the lens if they have vision OF the bush. They don't need to be inside the bush, but just to have vision of it. This can give away your presence if you're trying to gank!

THANKS!

Please upgrade your trinkets or I will have to start a collage depicting 9/10 players in the endgame lobby with no upgraded trinket 40 minutes into the game.

Tanks/Bruisers: Just let them try and gank me.

Mage/Assassin: That's the jungler's job. I need another hat.

Jungler: I already have a sweeper. What more do you want?

ADC: What are wards?

Support: {Smacks the ADC}

450g? I don't know what game i've been playing, but to my knowledge you can't even buy upgraded T3 trinket UNTIL lv 9.

Upgraded yellow trinket is pretty much as good as sightstone. You don't have to back to refill it, and there aren't many situations where you need more than two wards in quick succession. Its a top laner's dream come true.

I shit you not, upgrading the item 3341 into item 3364 won my team the last game, we were in a 4v5 and their Akali was starting to snowball, but getting vision on her let us focus her down and win the game.

item 3364 OP

(also I like how you can search for item 3341 and item 3364 by typing in "Red Trinket"

People who complain that they need the gold should think about this:

Which will save you and your team's asses more? Massively increased vision, or half a ruby crystal?
