Wards really are a snowball mechanic, as they allow you to prevent Junglers from impacting the natural progression of your game. I do feel like wards should be made pricier or just not last as long, but this is definitely too much.

The bigger issue right now is towers being so strong that it's impossible to actually crush a lane.
