Its sad how many games I place the most wards, and all I do is place my free ones, with an occasional pink. And I don't even support.

I was ADC the other day, the client crashed on me, and I couldn't reconnect until 11 minutes in. Without ever buying anything but 1 pink ward, I still had 13 wards down by the end of the game, which was higher than anyone on the enemy team. We went on to crush them extremely hard because they kept getting caught out because they didn't ever use their trinkets.

I love it when people bitch about junglers camping, or getting ganked from another lane. All I say is, "ward. They are free."

I generally won't complain about it, but it does exist. If I have a ward up and have to keep backing up because the enemy jungle is just sitting top, I lose gold and exp. if the other lanes don't push the advantage then it is really bad bc we are giving up top farm or mid farm for no reason since it is a 2 v 1 and the zoning is real. I don't care if I get camped, but hopefully if I do, I can play safe while we get dragons and kills in other lanes and yall can carry me since I'm just playing bait all game and distracting the enemy jungle.

exactly, and wards change it from you being killed, to just being bait.

I played a game where i was like im not going to place wards to see if i can tell when a gank was going to happen ( i was board) i warded drag like 3 times. most wards placed. i was like wtf.... they free tho.

Yeah same

Every game its either Supp - Me (trinket and about 2 pinks) ------- everyone else or Me (as supp) ----- everyone else with about 4

The sad thing is, 1 in every 5 games you should find someone who buys a trinket and actually places 0 wards that game. YOU HAVE A TRINKET USE IT

I'm not sure what's worse:

The number of wards placed or the fact that people don't look at the minimap enough to make wards useful.

Probably the latter.

Why am I gold? I really don't know, climbed from Bronze to Gold so far this season and the shit is still exactly the same!

The moment where you get all embarrassed because you forgot to upgrade trinket lol. Usually I'm good about it but had a game Recently where I got really fed and bought sixth item before realizing I hadn't upgraded my trinket lol.

Honestly the number of people who upgrade their trinket and proceed to use it one time over the next 20 minutes is even more embarrassing.

Why am I Silver? "I don't need to buy Sightstone as support. I only Upgrade my warding totem, because it's the same" :D

DeliothMay 4, 20152 votes

Yes. As long as you actually use those wards.

I had a game recently where I checked after the game and our adc had ZERO WARDS PLACED. I forget if it was ranked or not, but still...ZERO? How is that even possible? He bought the trinket and everything, but never once used it. Not at the beginning of the match, not to check a bush, literally he did not place one ward.

I assume he was silver because that's what I am. I just don't understand. At least use the trinket...

Don't even worry about it, all the pros such as Doublelift and Dyrus had this problem. You just gotta install PawSense! http://www.bitboost.com/pawsense/

I main mid/jg and in either role I'm almost ALWAYS (at least 80% of games) I have the most wards. Doesn't matter if I'm mid or JG, I always have the most or the same as support.

Sir YamazukiMay 5, 20151 votes

Find it unlikely people are in Bronze due to lack of warding. I used to ward often in Season 1, where I was Bronze, and Season 2, where I was Silver, Season 4, where I reached plat, I stopped buying wards entirely and don't place trinket wards ever unless necessary. If warding, as a nonsupport, was really a major factor, then I should have been ranked higher in S1 while dropping as I stopped warding entirely last season basically.
