Let's talk about how wards DONT TAKE SKILL while SNOWBALLING the game

Warding is methodical and systematic. You do not need strategy. You ward high traffic areas. Literally just memorize a list of crucial warding locations and you have mastered the warding side of it....

Dragon, Baron, River bush, lane bushes, wraith bush, buff bushes, etc.

Zero skill required. And it's sad the lowest common denominator has taken up warding as their flagship topic to circlejerk about along with jungling without smite and knowing all roles.

Yet it snowballs the game and makes games noncompetitive. It creates passivity and negates team fights unless both parties can consent. It makes the game and Esports a lot less fun to watch and adulterates the experience of high mechanics and insane dueling and creates a game of taking out the laundry or washing the dishes. Literally methodically just clearing out wards.... game after game.... The only skill required is to attack move while taking the ward in case your opponent jumps on you with a skillshot. It is something for the lowest common denominator to feel proud of.... as if it required skill. Like being proud of buying the right items.... Look guys I placed a ward at dragon! BE PROUD OF ME.

A simple ward by a winning team completely denies the losing team a dragon.

If you're winning and you ward dragon, you can't not take dragon.

Takes 0 skill to place. Has close to zero counterplay.... Multiple wards can be dropped... Yet only 1 or 2 can be cleared at most.

can you ward/ the tribush while standing inside dragons pit?! what about the other tribush while standing in baron's pit?!

how about over a huge wall/ one such as from the 1st mid tower to the bush behind wolves/sentinels?

those my friend. take skills.

but i mean. if you're just straight up laying down wards so your enemies can break them down [aka infront of dragon/baron's pit] that ward deserves to get destroyed.

ever thought about tossing two wards into the dragon/baron pits?! one closer to the entrance. the other AS CLOSE TO THE BACK SIDE OF THE WALL?

unless the enemy team pinks or has upgraded sweepers. guaranteed. 1 ward will survive and give you that vision that you need. whether your team is gonna compete or not. is on you and your team.

at the very least. you know where the enemy are, and get the timer.

but keep going with your usual ward spots.

us crafty warders will just outdo sweepers any day.

and you see that pink ward just sitting there? it's our bait. don't fall for it.
