Why does the community hate wards?
I use to main support, secondary jungle.
Recently I picked ADC up, I've always loved Ashe and Sivir is pretty fun too. But my connection use to be garbage so I played champions who didn't have to last hit much. But now that I am getting into Riven top, Ashe and Sivir bot. I realized that I am almost always the most wards placed. I will have placed 20-35 wards in a game. Meanwhile our support has placed like... 13 and the rest of the team 9 or less. They are absolutely free nowadays! They prevent you from dying, and imo are more important top or mid than even bot lane. Where bot lane is a farm lane that can trade, top and mid are lanes with non-stop dueling tactics. But like my most recent game as Riven(just a little brag, 12/2/5 ;D) I placed 21 wards, next closest was 18, the rest were all under 10. I didn't even buy pinks this game because I was trying to edge out a money advantage. And yet placed so many more wards.
Does this community have something against seeing the map, objectives and enemies? When I mained support, mostly Leona and Soraka, I would place 30-50 wards in some games. Including a good number of pinks. Back when you had to buy wards and there was no limit on placement I had a Taric game we won, and my team credited it to the fact that I placed 62 wards XD.
WHY DO PEOPLE HATE WARDS?
P.s. Wards count towards your S ranks as well, as does 'pinks bought'.
