Ill have more wards placed than minutes in the game and still end up getting a <50 vision score

Any chance we can lower the requirements? In a match i had 27 wards placed and 1 ctrl ward placed in a 26-minute game, got a 42 vision score. I dont understand this at all.

I think it bases the score not just off number of wards placed, but also if they observe enemies, stay alive for long periods of time, or reveal other wards (in the case of vision wards).

So spamming wards might not end up with the best vision score if the wards aren't being 'useful' as seen by the system. Or at least that is my understanding of it.

^ This, if your wards are getting swept early on in its lifetime or aren't revealing anything, then you won't get much.

That's exactly it. Also, if you're spamming wards and removing wards that you have already placed, that's going to hurt your potential ward score. Make sure that you're not replacing wards that are early in the life unless you're advancing the ward-line. Also, make sure you get the upgraded sweeper and sweep often - that'll enable you to place wards that the enemy doesn't know about, which will immensely help your vision score (not to mention your team!).

Just like Narsicus mentioned, it's not about how many wards you plop down. It's about how effective those wards are.

Also, you shouldn't aim to have a >50 vision score by throwing out a bunch of wards. You should not care about the vision score and instead place wards and use sweepers in good places in order to provide your team an advantage.

If you focus too much on the score, you'll lose sight (I'm so punny) of what really matters: how the vision helps your team win the game.

I didnt even know it existed till a couple days ago. The match i am referring to is the one where i found it out, i obviously couldnt care about something i didnt know. Just thought it was fishy i got such a low score.

I still remember that time that I asked everyone to ward for like the 10th time and they just placed a bunch of wards near me right next to the stairs of the T2. [slayer-jinx-catface]

and btw, 1 control ward bought and placed in a 26m game is not laudable.

Well when you say for the 10th time, I don't think of cordial requests for wards. Now I'm gonna lose sleep, I hope you're happy.

it's the 10th time no exaggeration because they just don't listen throughout the game, not because I'm being rude. I'm asking them, not telling them. And I say pls every time.

Maybe I should try 'please'? Fk I'm at a loss here.

And no, losing sleep is bad, mkay. Not happy. Please ward :D

Wards destroyed also counts. A lot of it is based off of time, too. How long your wards are up, how long the ward you destroyed had left. The numbers under the vision score are very deceptive. I recently had a game with me on Soraka and the enemy support on Thresh. We both had 17 wards placed and 2 control wards purchased but I had 4 wards destroyed and he only had 1 destroyed. Guess who got the higher vision score?......... Not me! I had 40 to his 43. That was on a 28 minute match.

My best score is 68, with 27 wards placed, 6 wards destroyed and 4 control wards purchased in a 39 minute high bronze match. So it's definitely possible even if you're not pro, you just need to get more out of the wards you are placing.

Damn, wasnt expecting to see a comment on this thread when i was checking my updates o.o

Been finding it easier to get higher scores recently, thanks for the time you spent in writing this.
