I Never Buy Pink Wards

hotarse··4 votes·825 views

OK, I lied. But I literally only ever buy a pink ward when playing against a champ with an obnoxious invisibility ability like akali or vayne. Otherwise, I never buy them. I don't find them useful, no matter what position I am playing. I don't feel rewarded for using them, and they usually just get deleted soon after. Anyone else out there saying no to Pink Wards?

If your Pinks are just getting killed shortly after placing them, place them in a more defensive manner or simply offensively to clear wards away from an objective you're trying to contest (harder for the enemy to stop you taking Dragon when you kill their wards in the area).

Really? You've never used the Pink Ward bait?

In Mid, place your Pink in either of the river bushes, right next to your side's wall. You'll know for certain it's not warded by the enemy, making it easy for your Jungler to gank. If the enemy uses a ward in that same bush, clear it quickly. Now when they want to clear your Pink, they have to step into the bush, letting you surprise them from over the wall with CC and all your damage. 75g for 75% or more of your opponents HP deleted without an opportunity to trade back.

It's 75 g for a ward that last forever..... That's like the price of a HP pot.

I buy them all the time

That would require playing Ranked. He could be Challenger level, but we'll never know. I see no matches, so probably a dummy account.

You won't find out what ranking i am unless you know the website to search me out on the server I play on. Btw, it's not bronze.

Pink wards are useful when setting up a vision line when you are preparing for a major objective. Taking Elder Dragon or Baron without any sory of vision is usually a bad idea. Even if the ward dies, it's better than half your team dieing because you got jumped trying to take the objective.

Information saves lives and gets kills. 1 life saved or taken is worth 4 pinks.

math ftw
