Can someone explain why we can carry 3 control wards, but can only place one?

Because I would really like to have more vision, not just a tiny visible piece of the map.

because in higher elo people tend to destroy your wards faster if you're behind, so you need to be able to replace them faster. if you're ahead then you should be leapfrogging to take out enemy vision. you don't actually need more vision, you just need to learn how to use yours

Adding on to this, in higher ELO you "move up" vision. So you place pink wards in the enemy jungle, and as you push up a lane you place them further and further up (getting rid of your previous ones in the process).

It's why you see us buying 2 control wards and sometimes 3 per back.

Lets not forget that for 'experienced' players in lower elos, they will purposely place control wards just to annoy you at times and create mind games for the 'lower elo but still have a brain players' either A. Get mauled by a enemy jungler cause those control wards deny you to properly ward the bush so it could put you in a bad spot if you have to face check to clean it or B. you end up being 'forced' to lean to one side of a lane to end up with the enemy jungler coming on that side your 'leaning towards' and not thru the bush but the openings between to easily hard CC you. Hence a sort of mind game to control your opponent's position to coordinate with your own jungler to EZ gank them because they can't ward both sides because of a constant control ward throwing up mook so they can only have vision on one side and supposedly feel 'safe' on that side with the ward.
