But wards don't do damage. How will I win if I can't do damage?

RiccySmalls1 votes

If you have wards then you can no where they are and if you see one of them separated from the team then you can single them out and rek'em

IceKingChernobog23 votes

the real shocker is that the freaking adcs have their trinkets upgraded

junglerboy166 votes

they probably got tired of getting blown up by walking into unwarded bushes.

Still shocking though.

i main adc and i upgrade trinkets around lvl 9 or 10, mostly because i main immobile adcs such as Twitch and Jinx and i want to keep their cute little asses from being served on a silver platter to the enemy team

junglerboy161 votes

You are probably the smartest ADC main I've seen.

I LEARNED alot from playing support, when i started the game i thought support was demeaning and a waste of time. So i carried those skills such as map awarness, warding, positioning(im still kinda shitty at it) from supporting

pastagay2 votes

Same, but I play Draven and Varus. (though I don't main ADC, that's just who I play when I ADC)

I am a bronze adc and I am sad when I have an extra 250g to spare but I'm like 1 minion from lvl 9 :((((

Wards are overrated in soloQ. We know this by now. Stupid decisions are the way to go. You get lucky? You win. You don't get lucky? You laugh it off and blame the other guy.

Playing games where I ward more than the support makes me feel like I carried harder than any other player on the team... >_> People honestly don't understand just how great offensive warding can be...

Ariel the Cruel2 votes

They also don't appreciate how great regenerating wards are (Trinket); on the occasion I don't get a chance to go back.

Funny because sometimes I buy these as soon as I hit level 9 (I accidentally tried a few times at 8) but it's true way too many people never upgrade them. The upgrades are straight OP.

rinsujo1 votes

My issue is that I always want to upgrade them when I have the money at level 6. But then I can't, so I have to wait, and by the time I hit 9 I'm buying major items and end up not upgrading til almost 13. It's irritating.

Sinlaire1 votes

Hell. sometimes i know i cant buy it until lvl 9.

But im a jungle main, and somewhere im looking at all of my lanes getting ganked left and right because they're over extending and a little voice inside my head screams.

"I will sell you my eldest daughter. just give me the upgrade for the love of god."

How much she cost?

Sinlaire1 votes

Based on the standard price of a trinket upgrade, 250g and my family's respect apparently.

WeFlyNoLie4 votes

I feel like Riot should really add one of those "loading tool tips" for the ward upgrades.

"Hey! It only costs 250g to prevent a lot of silly deaths!"

Something to that effect.

But if I buy item 3361, I won't be able to stack all the elixirs. D':

50000000000000003 votes

Just in case people try this, I'm gonna say that this doesn't work. Elixirs don't stack.

But stupid ideas do.

Anyone who doesn't buy the upgraded green trinket when they hit level 9 is bad. This item is my favorite in the entire game, saves my ass so many times in top lane.

The Lexer1 votes

I personally am not the kind of guy who gets it right away. Sometimes I'll get it lvl 9, particularly in top lane, but its more of a "well I have this extra 400 gold now" kinda buy for me. If I don't have enough for anything useful I'll get it for sure though. By the time you hit lvl 13/14 you better have that trinket though.

Jari1 votes

Going to be honest here. If at level 9 as say an adc is either an infinity edge or an upgraded trinket, please grab your infinity edge. Upgrade it when you have 250g to spare after purchasing other stuff.

FastAsHeck2 votes

lets just be happy that most supports rush a sightstone. Yes I said most, I have seen things (aka Morgana with item 3157item 3098item 3117 and no sightstone)

rAafu43 votes

Most of the supports buy sighstone and never use it :D

So much this. Seriously, if you aren't going to use your SS, don't bother building it.

The Lexer2 votes

I once had a support Ashe in one of my games (about a month ago) that bought the free, non-upgraded trinket, no sightstone, and placed zero wards that game. It was sad. We lost

C9 Scott Free 2 votes

It's sad because sometimes the game will be going well and I will try to upgrade and realize that while I might have gotten 6 kills already I am still only level 8.5

Griefer2 votes

literally played a game and I was the only person that upgraded my red trinket. teammate proceeds to say:

"lol u actually upgrade that sh*t?"

There is not 6 people on each team.

Shyvana and ezreal are on one team, the other 4 make up most of the other.

ValyrianBlade2 votes

Oh i see now, was difficult to notice when there's a big picture of a ward right over where the name color would have changed.

Pengod1 votes

....why are there 6 people on each team?

Also the guy with 17.5k total gold may not have had 250g if he spent enough on pots/elixirs/other wards/selling and re buying items throughout the game.

there aren't 6 on one team. under Ez there is the divider line of each team

Upgrading your trinket shouldn't be a final thing to do though (unless maybe blue trinket.) Vision control is critical, and yellow or red trinket upgrades give you so much power into that. I generally try to do mine around 20-30 minutes in game.

videorfeak1 votes

Everyone knows that supports are the ward slaves and everyone else only wards on whim as an extended social contract......God I hate the warding mentality

ChaoticPinecone1 votes

To be fair, when neither jungler changes to the red trinket, its probably pretty low elo.

FastAsHeck4 votes

trust me, i would LOVE to be able to get red trinket. but because in low elo you just cant afford to count on your team, if you want vision you get it yourself. unless you are willing to go item 2049item 3364, its better to get item 3361 because 800 gold for a sightstone or a lot of gold for constant wards is simply not worth it.

Sinlaire1 votes

I'm the same way too. Unless im playing with friends and can afford to switch with good communication, i often just have to upgrade ward so that we can get some vision on the map.

I usually take top 2 on most wards next to the support unless i get a very skittish adc on my team. which is fine by me if he's doing his job. just helps me do mine.

Cipse1 votes

Same here (B2). But, then again, I switch to the upgraded red trinket if I'm past Level 9 and there's a stealth champ in the enemy team (especially Vayne).

chide da jungler1 votes

I always B and buy my upgraded trinket at lvl 9. It is the best item in the game.

MasterVidallis1 votes

My first season of ranked (last season) I almost never bought wards and was silver/low gold. This season I moved up through high gold into platinum and still moving up, I buy pinks constantly in every position and upgrade my trinket often as soon as I hit 9. Make of that what you will.

That Jinx is the smartest one. Because the Farsight Orb is literally the only one that gives you anything late-game in solo queue.
