While this won't have much affect on higher levels of play, especially the LCS and tournaments, I think it would be nice if you could actually buy ward charges on Top of sightstone baseline charges that pretty much counted as normal wards.
Let me explain this a little:
Essentially, a Ruby Sightstone has 5 charges and can keep three sightstone wards on the map at once. I think there should be a new consumable, perhaps called a Ward Satchel or something, that you buy and it puts 5 extra charges on top of he baseline 5, giving it 10 charges. Every ward you place 10-6 will be a normal ward, not attached to the Sightstone once it's placed down. At 5 charges the Sightstone will act as it always has.
What this will do:
As of now, supports are basically shoehorned into buying a sightstone and keeping vision on the entire map. There's no real way to keep vision on the map with only 3 wards at once, so they must also use an item slot for normal wards. I think this kinda sucks.
If a support has enough income to keep the map warded, buy an oracles, and still get items, they should be able to do this. They shouldn't have to use 1/3 of their item slots just to keep vision on the map.
This ward satchel idea would allow supports to have a Sightstone but not need an extra slot for wards. They would still need to buy them, but they could have a 5 item build instead of 4.
Sounds like a good idea, but it might need to be tweaked a bit in order make keeping vision on the map accessible without making it too easy. For example instead of counting like normal wards you can place and extra ward on the map and get 2 extra charges meaning you have 7 wards charges and can put 4 down. Or something like that :P
