I love how people think wards automatically stop you from getting killed

Especially when I'm getting ganked by an Ekko and Xin.

It's not even like I didn't have wards, I bought 2 or 3 Vision wards that game.

They don't. Ask any support main.

Wards give you information, but the enemy may have wards as well. And even with that information, it also depends on what risks you take, what tactic your opponent uses, and what champions you're using.

The best you can do is ask junglers/supports to ward a little deeper if a mobile jungler is gank-happy, and rely more on counterganking and being proactive rather than seeing them already on the way and hoping you don't get jumped on.

If I wasn't clear already, that was merely a neutral view on the position and not a criticism of your gameplay. I honestly have no idea how you react to ganks anyway, so it's not like I could comment on it either.

I ran under turret, got stunned and bursted. I usually run away from a gank and then freeze for a bit until jungler pops up elsewhere.

My favorite part is that if you do get ganked under turret and it's successful you can basically say bye to your tower.

Shit happens, I know.

But keep warding. The information is more useful as your teammates and yourself get better at the vision game. Don't let anecdotal incidents get you down, remember that overall vision is powerful when used appropriately.

But shit happens, no matter what you do. Don't focus on that, only focus on what you can control.
