TRINKETS

I’ve already shared the descriptions of the support champs from my previous blog. Now I want to share the support items that a support champ must have. A proper item build will help you gain an advantage in your teamfight. When you open the shop at your base, you can see that the items are arranged from Starting Items, Offensive Items, and Defensive Items. Those are the recommended items but if you have your own pattern or an optional build (trying to build according to the situation), you can search the name of the item and click the item. Follow the recipe and aim for the needed gold. My support item for today is TRINKETS. TRINKETS are the new system of warding which was imposed by the developers of the game. This is a limited ward (composed of 1 ward), unlike the Sight Stone which grants you 3 wards which you can place anywhere on the map. The main purpose of TRINKET is to encourage players who do not have a mood for placing a ward on the map (because of the cost). TRINKETS are instantly free and it can be upgraded into a more useful TRINKET. The image below shows the details.

Strategy

Warding Totem and it's upgraded counterparts can be used to ensure the safety of nearby Brush, or keep an eye on a position in the lane that could be quickly overrun by the presence of enemy minions.

Sweeping Lens can disable any opposing wards and invisible traps, letting you counter the use of enemy Trinkets and keep you and your teammates stealthed, and is a major counter to abilities such as Teemo's Noxious Traps.

Although it does hold similar properties to the Scrying Orb when casting over brush, it is best not to use it for this purpose as the cast range is very short and would leave you vulnerable to attack.

Scrying Orb let's you see in the cast range away from for your champion for a short time, it does not require a vision already present like Wards, and can be used on the fly for revealing anything in the brush or jungle, but the limited viewing time means that you must pay close attention when in use, and it must be used sparingly. Use when on the chase in jungle territory or for quickly clearing the brush when laning.

Due to the large cast range, it is the most affected by the mastery Scout, and gives a considerable boost to your viewing range.

Limitations

Since there is only one inventory slot for trinkets, a player can only own one trinket at any given moment.

Selling a trinket will disable Trinket use for 180 seconds even if another trinket is purchased.

Trinkets cannot be used in the first 30 seconds of a game, but can still be purchased.
