Should I bother warding?

Don't get me wrong, I always ward and I don't mind spending gold on wards. I am level 15 and I am matched with people around my level, but I highly doubt that there will be a Jungler on their team, or that their Mid-laner will come in for ganks or substitute for them if they die so wards seem a little redundant.

I have been playing this game for a good few months(Not a smurf) so I have a decent concept on things and I know warding is important.

I always buy ample wards and place them around the Rift even if I know nothing may happen, but is it worth it lower levels? If it isn't worth it, around what time do you think it is?

best to still do it, to practice playing in the higher levels.

Warding is always worth it. Wards win games, particularly when the other team acts as though they don't exist. Use that advantage while you can; they'll figure out how powerful vision control is eventually.

I think it varies from game to game and also depends on what stage of the game you're in. If, as you said, there are no junglers and they're not likely to roam, then you can probably get away with placing only a few wards in the main spots. As the game goes on, warding becomes more important, it makes split pushing safer, if you ward either side of the jungle you can catch people out while keeping your own safe. Place them somewhere that you'll want to know what's going on.

yes you should. pretend that they are good. you don't want to hit lv 30 and play like a lv 15 and get lazy on warding there are already alot of people who dont ward so you should. even if it is pointless

Yea, what has been said. If nothing else, it lets you know when Dragon and Baron are ready if you don't have the timers.

Its always worth it. If you believe that something won't happen, and you don't ward, it could end badly. Always expect the unexpected, right?

Always ward. Always.

Definitely worth it. Even if there's no jungler, another lane could start roaming and try to gank you, or you might need vision on the dragon or baron.
