I am SO excited for the pre-season!! especially the new sightstone upgrades and the marksman reworks, specifically what they'll change about graves and lucian. I hope they are gonna fixate graves on REALLY being upclose while lucian will have his kiting-aspect elevated. so graves turns fully into the head-first man that he his while lucian will be really good at kiting/chasing while keeping his bursty nature unlike other kite-based marksmen, like kalista and vayne.

i already put some thoughts into the sightstone upgrades a few weeks ago:

there are 4 sight stone upgrades, ruby, sapphire, emerald, amethyst

they're worth 2000 gold, not 1600 and all build out of sightstone. they also all have 5 wards

ruby sightstone now doesn't directly build out of ruby crystal anymore but instead out of crystalline bracer and thus grants extra x health regen/5 along with x health.

sapphire builds out of chalice and grants 25 mr, chalice's passive, and x mana regen/5.

emerald builds out of recurved bow and grants x% AS and x% MS and 10 on-hit damage.

amethyst builds out of fiendish codex and grants x ap and 10% cdr.

Ruby would definitely benefit tank supports the most for obvious reasons, but the new health regen would also help out soraka.

Sapphire would help supports the most that don't really scale with but have intense mana consume, especially galio who may have decent ap scalings but would definitely benefit from this item, along with janna, maybe anivia who uses sooo much mana, zilean, etc.

Emerald would probably be rarely ever built but it could fit some niche supports who greatly benefit from those stats, possibly tahm kench, ashe, jeez maybe even teemo or azir.

Amethyst is obviously for mage supports and it would possibly stop them from just skipping sightstone as it can now grant damage, for example annie, brand, morgana, karma, zyra, lissandra, lux, fiddlesticks, vel'koz. it would also benefit lulu and sona a lot.

I hope they make the sightstone upgrades so that there is more freedom in support and so that people can stray a little out of meta
