I've heard this idea a long time ago. Was riot ever thinking about doing this? It would be so nice especially for supports who are supposed to buy a bunch of wards but late game run out of item slots to do it. I want to see this happen!

not gonna happen
i gave the same suggestion and apparently riot didnt want this feature so u need to make a choice between last item or wards

That's weird. What's bad with this? it is just making things more convenient. I don't think it would ruin anything.

The point is that you made the choice to have 6 full items instead of having access to wards. It's a strategic decision. Now, what I *could* get behind is an item that can hold wards, but has weaker base stats. Would be a total ***** to code because nothing like that is even remotely in the game, but a kind of ward case or whathaveyou that maybe carries up to 7 wards instead of only 5 could be nifty. Hell, give it a small GP10 effect (slightly less than a single infinite ward), and make two of them (pink and green), maybe a small aura effect that's vision-based (nearby allies gain 5% vision range or something).... hmmmmmm This will require some thought. And likely never get implemented since making an item that stores consumables is gonna take a lot of new code.

As long as it was only available for consumables I dont see how this would affect the game negatively. I am all for this. It would allow so much more opportunity late game when you can no longer hold anything.

I'm some-what on the fence about this suggestion...

On the one hand, I think it makes sense to be required to sacrifice something in order to hold wards, giving your team a tactical advantage in map awareness, while sacrificing a portion of your late-game potential... It's balanced how it is...

However, I also like the idea of a pouch... Maybe just an item, which still requires a slot, but has a small base stat on it such as a few Armour, MR or a small amount of health...
(Maybe 3 different options)

Having GP/10 on this item wouldn't get my support... Maybe if it was a very reduced number, not like Philo or HoG, but maybe 1/4 of their effect, meaning you'll never get back what you paid for it, but the cost of the item won't be quite such a huge strain...

You'd still be making sacrifices in order to ward, but it will be slightly less harsh if we had pouches, which still used up item slots...

Basically, I want supports to get a 6th item which gives 5-10 Armour or MR, and allows them to keep warding, which is quite a lot of programming for such a small stat increase, which is probably why it won't be implimented... But anyway, that's my 2 cents...

Diversity is never a bad thing...

Yeah it would be a really cool idea, but you are very right that the programming would be too much. And they have a lot of items. There focus seems to be strictly in building champs. I wanna see more items and more maps. Maybe some day.

either make a new slot for consumables like pots, elixers and wards or make an item that gives free wards for supports >_>

They won't do it... it's a strategic thing. Last item or slot for wards?
Make sure the support has clairvoyance.
