Yes, supports never get the gold to buy full build. They still don't. Sightstone doesn't solve the problem. Supports don't get cs, and yet early on they are expected to get the sightstone, the least gold efficient item in league of legends at purchase. Then at some point they are expected to upgrade it into the ruby sightstone, the second least gold efficient item in league of legends at purchase. Of course this changes once you've placed enough wards. However, this leads to supports, at the mid game, having nearly no stats.

The main problem is the fact that this takes up a main item slot. Supports shouldn't be burdened with the limitation of dedicating a main item slot to wards, especially not at such terrible initial gold efficiencies. And 400HP, unless you're leona, means nothing late game, which is when most people complete the ruby ss. The ruby ss is like having a giant's belt, and just letting it sit there 1 hour into the game, where you have enough gold to turn it into a randuins but can't. This is about the underwhelming power of supports due to having to buy the ruby ss, and not having the space to get a more powerful item even if the game drags on and on. Of course this can be solved by creating various late game items for the ss to build into depending on the type of support you're playing, idk about this though. Some of the support items are pretty sweet and have interesting actives. The ruby ss though, a total crutch late game

So the multiple ward trinket, yea some champions could use it to advantage. But remember that some champs still need to get sweepers to control the vision game, and a multi ward trinket would cost gold, so you need to know when you could be put behind just for a couple more ward jumps
