EPTAlso I thought the Soraka discussion by Riot was pretty interesting, both for why they made her trash and why they are reluctant to enact significant changes to rectify that.

the solution though is a shift in player behavior so people don't think warding is exclusively the job of supports | ||

1. OGN 2. YouTube Highlights 3. Experienced Player Advice Forums provide a little bit of #3, but to me is more for shits and giggles. The best advice I've gotten were from Teamspeak and PMs. Application is a matter of focused practice. + Show Spoiler + Watching LCS is purely for entertainment :< | ||

That's where you don't give them interesting stats (you will only rarely see an AP carry build items that don't grant AP whatsoever, rare exceptions being Chalice (builds into Grail anyway), QSS (highly-situational) and GA (situational though assassins like Diana tend to like it more; AD carries only build one defensive item and usually do it extra late too), and where the marvel of active effects come into play. "Hey, a super cheap HP/MR item, I like!", 'cept if the item only gives you half as much stats as you paid for, doesn't build into anything, and has an active effect or aura that is aimed at the whole team rather than its carrier. Even offlaners won't build that. Supporting junglers may, and supports will prob, but it's just not interesting for the rest. As for the jungle camps, that's what I'm thinking after looking at the golems' situation during laning too: don't make these camps too hard to kill for the laners to take them. Just put the camps with gold value further away from the lanes so that laners will most likely miss minions if they want to take them (that's already partly what they did when making wolves worth more at the expense of wraiths dropping to the least gold-efficient camp). Now if they could also add other camps, really far from the lanes (or close to the base) so laners really won't want to take them (unless it's like a 1v2 laner being zoned out) but significantly better gold/exp-wise than the others, maybe this could entice farming junglers to stay in the jungle and take them, at the cost of map presence, while ganking junglers would forego them to be able to gank/countergank faster (no detours while farming)? Would also give more points of contention, and once you control the enemy jungle or know the enemy jungler wants to afk farm, you can setup ambushes at them if they're worth enough (as is you don't get much by ambushing people at their golems for example, but you can easily time the buffs). | ||

What if Riot adds in the dedicated ward item slot and when you buy a sight stone it now fills that slot and you can no longer buy individual wards? | ||

I'd also think that there are still mechanical possibilities to changing the nature of warding beyond relying on player behavior shifts.

Give us cost efficient, slot inefficient items with HP and CDR. Ohmwrecker - Kindlegem + Kage's Pick Eleisa's Miracle - Kindlegem Mikael's Crucible - Kindlegem + Mana Manipulator Reduce the combined cost on everything that builds out of Kage's. | ||

When I'm playing DotA, if I can get a cool item like Arcane Boots or Mek or Force Staff, I feel like a boss. And it could potentially open up timings too, especially Mek or Blink. When's the last time you played LoL and you said, "HEY GUYS I GOT SHARD OF TRUE ICE, LET'S GO FIGHT NOW!" I don't care if I don't have money because I can only spend it on shitty items with marginal impact. | ||
