League of Legends: Vision Changes and Trinkets

Riot Games begins planning for Season 4 and wants your feedback.

Having just concluded League of Legends' thrilling Season 3, it's already time to start looking forward toward Season 4. As a part of that effort, Game Designer Alexander "Xelnath" Brazie from Riot Games recently stopped by reddit to discuss what's coming next.

"In terms of our overarching goal: we want to add more gameplay with vision and how vision control works for everyone in this new season. ... With a new season comes a new approach to vision: vision will be a team focus rather than an individual one. ... Our hope is that these options make participating in the vision system more strategically varied for entire teams."

Here are some key points from the post:

  • Vision wards (pink wards) are now visible, cost less, and are permanent unless destroyed (5HP).
  • Sight Wards (green wards) have been tentatively renamed to 'Stealth Wards'.
  • Each player has a personal ward limit (3 Stealth, 1 Vision); new wards remove old ones.
  • All players gain 'trinkets', free cooldown items with vision-based abilities.
    • Three Types: Place a ward for free, detect existing wards, or scan a distant point.

It's important to note that these changes aren't necessarily definite as Riot is open to community feedback. To get a complete understanding of the changes, make sure to check out the full post.
