I can see how it sounded like a good idea in the beginning, but like you said it really can be hard to take seriously and most times it's a false alarm.

One of the first things people teach you about being good at LoL is map awareness. I always stress two things to my team: Buy a ward or two when you can...and WATCH THAT FUCKING MAP.

If players stopped acting like wards are just for supports to buy, MIAs would rarely be a thing. At least not as prevalent and relied upon as it is now.
