lately i have been getting supports in 30-50% of my games on any given night who wont buy a sightstone or even buy pink wards. i mean wont buy any wards at all. if u go support one of 2 main jobs u have is warding. yes team is supposed to help to. 9 wards is better 5 all im gonna say. moral of the story by wards if you go support. if wont buy wards as the support then dont even Q for games. to help my team i always upgrade my trinket to help the cause even if im not the support. people who play this guy as a support historicly are the biggest non buyers of wards. shrooms have vision but nowhere near enough.

My own experience with supporting at low MMRs has helped me understand why some supports give up on warding. I don't agree with it, but it is pretty damn frustrating when you ward intelligently but then nobody on your team reacts to enemy movements that your wards pick up. I don't mean just reacting slowly, I mean not reacting at all and seeming to have no idea that there's even a map there. (And, needless to say, everyone else upgrading their trinkets is completely out of the question.)

They don't seem cost efficient when they seem like they're only for your own personal benefit.

How many times have i warded and saw an enemy jungler coming in for a gank, just to have my ADC keep on pushing without noticing the imminent threat at all. I still ward, but with bought wards and my trinket upgraded. My money goes into my own build, and i won't sacrifice an item slot for something my teammates won't pay attention to.

Besides, assuming wards are still placed, a second mage or an extra tank will be more useful to the team than a support with mitigated stats.

im thinkin they see wards as something only the pros do. so since this isnt the pros they dont need to ward as wards actually allow the lcs players to actually make better plays
