Only jungler and support should have ruby sight stone. It's way too much of an investment for a top laner or mid to buy, since usually, you're warding your lane once every 3 minutes. At your projected 9 ward payout, that's 27 minutes.

Tele + Homeguard can be effective, but it requires an early tier 3 boot enhancement which isn't beneficial in many cases.

If you need an ohmwrecker at 40 minutes in, then fire your tank. OR learn to manage tower aggro. If your tank isn't the one diving the towers first, someone on your team is messing up.

Mastermind is great, but most top laners are 21/9/0 or 9/21/0. Not everyone can live with swapping for utility. And if you're manaless, then forget about it. 3 points for 2% MS out of combat is a complete waste.

AD carries should have LW, bruisers should have BC.

Oracles lasts for only 5 mins. It should only be bought to continue a snowball of a game, or to secure dragon or baron. In many cases, a couple of pink wards are less risky and do exactly what you needed done.
