nami wards area doesnt matter because wukong uses plant to launch into a bush completely bypassing ward ezreal and nami both get killed because rng plant allowed wukong to completely ignore ward

that isnt even touching on the control wards which completely disables wards and the scryers bloom which reveals wards AND the duskblade passive is oracle alteration on a 90 second cooldown

will sightstone even be viable in season 7?

The Scryer plant reveals wards? Didn't hear of that before. :O

yeah

its almost like riot has a personal vendetta against vision or they want to add in more walking wards like reksai

That plant will be there a lot of the time. The plants are only semi rng with early plants almost not being rng at all beside spawn times. It was the fact that nami did not account for the plant that was the reason they died.

thats the thing with rng. even "semi" rng is still rng

you can't account for it

if nami put the ward where the plant was, wukong could easily just walk through the river to gank instead

Or she could have checked the plant or she could have placed the ward closer to lane. She went for a medium risk, low reward play and got punished. The semi rng here is if the plant was spawned or not and if spawned if it was used or not. Considering the time it was almost 100% spawned so only factor is if it was used. This is kinda like the bet that the opponent already used flash for no reason so you go all in.

she couldn't check the plant because you only know about them if you've seen the seed on your map up to 30 seconds before they spawn

if you had actually seen the video, you would know that it doesn't really matter how far nami warded from lane because he flash dashed and ulted as soon as he landed

There always spawn a plant at that location in the first rotation. So she should have know the plant either was there or was used by wukong to do nothing earlier, which is unlikely.
