Marksmen and Top laners are consistently the worst at warding

The Bearded Bard··6 votes·754 views

I have literally never had a game where my marksmen or top lane even come close to matching anyone else's ward score. Often if you combine their scores, they're still the lowest ward scores in the game. Rise up, top laners and marksmen, prove me wrong. **Start using your goddamn wards. **

I just ping the two lowest ward scores every five minutes or so, seems to encourage a bit

ADCs make sense because they grab blue trinket. Top is weird. You ward depending on which way the lane is pushing. You also don't have any convenient deep wards to drop like mid. Mid also tends to hang on to green trinket for this reason.

They're on the outside of the map, and in a longer lane. Of course it's harder to ward.

The best part is when they bitch at you for no wards on the map (when you're respawning), you check their trinket, and they have 2 wards on them.

Warding is hella risky as a top laner tbh.

Well top lane is usually split pushing away from the team so the amount of vision needed isn't much as long as they have great game awareness.

Marksman, self explanatory they're always with the support.

Okay so grab red trinket and work on getting rid of wards while your support puts them down. Vision is a team effort, if 2/5ths of the team isn't pulling their weight, there's a problem.

Here's the thing. Those are the 2 lanes with the tribrush. There are exactly 2 damn bushes in those lanes. If you put a control ward in the bush nearest your tower, you only occasionally have to ward the other bush. So, of course, those 2 lanes have the lowest vision score.

Of course, those are the two hyper-carry roles who cant possibly waste gold on anything that wont do damage.

trinkets are $free.99, so idk where you get that from

they upgrade trinket to farsight which absolutely kills their ward score honestly.

FOR JUSTICE1 votes

it does, but ill take a super low ward score over having to facecheck something and being subsequently blown up any day

FOR JUSTICE1 votes

top lane would almost never have to in low elo tbh, considering its always "whoever camps bot more wins" and botlane ADC's (not marksmen as a whole) usually have the support to do it for them.

but of the roles, ADC makes the most sense, considering how long it takes for blues to recharge, and they can only carry 1.

Whenever I play jungler and gank top/ roam top as support, there is a pink ward. I constantly remind my adc to buy pink wards as a support main. I don't see an issue with top laners warding or adcs. I need them to buy like 2 pinks a game, then I can easily cover the rest with the jungler. Adc should have the lowest or second lowest score considering they get blue trinket which has a longer cd, and I expect top to be same or a little bit less than mid. Support and jungler should always have the highest.
