Is it just me, or does no one ward these days? I main top and I place a fairly decent amount of wards in the game, but it is so hard to play jungle in Gold and below these days (dunno bout plat and above im only g5) because no one wards. It is really annoying when playing jungle to try and keep ganking different lanes, only for the enemy team to have a ward there every single time you try and your team for some reason refuse to control ward it, even after pointing it out so I still cannot gank that lane properly. this might be because I play graves who doesnt particularly have good movement speed early or something, but it is just rather annoying, especially when my bot lane lose and then blame the jungler for not ganking -_- Thoughts?

Newbs don't ward for two reasons. They don't get the importance of it and/or presume it's just supports job. They have next to zero map awareness and see it as pointless.

Veteran players climbing and/or smurfing don't do it for one reason. They know people in low elo have low map awareness so they ward selectively.

There's more to it but these are major factors.

No one wards because it's a meme but a true one that no one looks at their minimap. What's the point in buying, setting up wards if people don't look at the mini map? Sure, it helps with ganks zoomed in but at the same time people won't use a free space for another item component for a ward.

item 3361 - The only "ward" you will get from your teammates. item 2055 Different and nice but same problem with previous pink ward- No One will use their $, item slot for something that is in pure view of them and takes X hits to eliminate. Bronze- Gold is nothing but a aram, Tyler 1 mid lane fiesta where wards don't matter. Nothing but fights 24/7 and no real lane phase from Bronze all the way to Gold I assume considering people view Gold as a "garbage" tier.

At least with item 3649 it isn't destroyed as soon as it gets placed by roaming junglers, mids etc 24/7. Sure you can't destroy the enemy wards with it like you can with the new pink/ward or the old pink ward but at least it gave you vision long enough mainly due to because no one bought wards then and now so eliminating it with a pink was rare and still is today.

The removal of green wards hit hard. And Sightstone is so painfully limited that the support has to work overtime to get subpar results at best.

Honestly that's the reason why I tend to troll in most games in bronze because they are gonna refuse learn the very simple basics of League ,then they don't deserve to win.
