Warding advise for my Silver brothers/sisters

Mid Laners.....stop just warding your bush right next to your lane. It is almost useless. Many junglers do not gank through that bush anyway Fiddlesticks Graves HecarimRekSai Rammus Taliyah ZacKayn just for some examples Try out warding the river or slightly into their jungle so you can see them on the map before they are even in range to gank. If you do not have a ward just do not push the wave. Seems pretty simple. A mid laner's wards should help the jungler and the mid at the same time.

Junglers.....please try to figure out where the enemy jungler is. It is pretty easy to see a gank on the other side of the map, steal gromp or raptors, and leave a deep ward behind. Tracking the enemy will help you counter gank and not get counter ganked.

Bot....there are two of you. Tri-bush is an obvious ward fight. What is not being done right though is the timing of wards. You do not have to ward on cooldown. If your jungler is ahead and or just doing his job right you should know about where the enemy jungler is at all times. Keep Dragon/river warded, and ward the river bush as far away from you as possible so you can see ganks coming sooner.

Top is pretty easy. The tri push is an obvious ward again, just like bot. Being top is way safer than mid because junglers only have 3 options unless they can run through walls. (river, tri-bush, or lane gank) Top laners can complete take out laner ganks by keeping pressure and not getting pushed in, and warding one of the other two ways with leave you pretty protected. The other way is to ward a lane bush and keep freezing the lane close to your two so the only option for a gank is to lane gank, but it's warded. LOL top lane won if you can do this.

The last thing, mostly for my low elo buddies, is map awareness. Keep one eye on the map at all times. I was a very good CoD player before i played LoL , so i am used to looking at the map every second. Make sure you know where the other team is. It is the mid and top and bot's job to ping you if enemies are MIA, but we all know this does not always happen. Even if they do it might be too late. Keep those eyes peeled.

Also for supports.

WARDING THE RIVER BUSH GIVES VISION FOR JACK SHIT LIKE 500 UNITS. It doesn't protect you from ganks at all or benefits your team in any way. It is a MIRACLE if you get out of silver by warding that bush because enemy jungle ganks will 100% hit you anyway in this hyper mobility meta. The only stuff you can run away by warding that bush is a jungle garen.

Ward their entrances, if you are succcessful it would benefit your toplaner/jungler as well since they would know the enemy jungler is botside or not. This is the SOLE reason support is OP. If you ain't doing it you ain't even playing support correnctly.
