PSA to everyone below Gold

Wards. Use them.

Wood 3 Lucian: "Ward? But thats the supports job! It doesnt give me damage, i should be doing damage. NO, not doing it."

LCS Pro with 120k salary: "I need to back, but i dont have enough for a BF Sword and a Stealth ward. Jungle...can i take your crugs so i can get a ward before i back?"

Wood 3: "Where the hell did lee come from?!?!?! God he is so OP! Rito plz!!?!?!?!"

LCS Pro with 120k salary: "Lee bot, Jarvan set up counter gank"

Yes...it is that different. Wards = Security

The military uses satellites, radar, and sonar and spends a crap ton of $$$ on "vision" Why do you think that is? Answer: So they can see the enemy coming and formulate a strategy for defense/offense to either foil their plans or capitalize on the information elsewhere.

Why in the actual F%$# Do most of you not understand.

4 maximum wards placed per champion (3 Stealth + 1 Pink) 5 champions per team 20 wards max placed on rift at any given moment (not including new scuttle crab)

I know these arent the best ward placements, but hey...its a quick and dirty example of what it could look like. Cheers.

** Props to Salidfingers for sharing an awesome web tool to track your progress towards being a real "Ward-en"

Being below gold is not a stereotype...its a current status and a subset of a group of people. Even if it was...would that change anything about placing wards?

I was seriously tempted to select option 3 but I agree with your post but you won't change many minds and in S3 when I did ranked got laughed at for placing wards.

Not trying to criticize, but maybe you need to place more wards as well.

What I find funny is when my teammates tell me i don't ward enough. Usually all wards on map are mine.

I find humor in your wards are mine comment since when I did ranked I was either mid or support usually and quite often ahd wards all over the map and I'd get flamed for either not warding enough or not telling people they were about to be ganked after they died to the gank my wards and pings clearly showed coming.

100% ! I need to ward a butt ton more! I'm not looking down on anyone, it's more of a plea for help from my brethren . If I spend my gold on wards, we will have 4 wards, and after 15-20 minutes my measly 4 wards aren't enough. But since I obviously don't get those wards out all the time that just means I need my bronzie teammates to put wards out even more. If wa all put half the wards down we should, that's 10 wards or 5 per side. Offense defense doesn't matter one quarter of the jungle is covered and winning mess can happen :)

Awesome map, did you write that? I think those placements are perfect.

Yeah I took a map from Google and ward icons and dropped them really fast with paint, lol
