Wait, there's a flaw in this post.

There's no wards on the map. That means nobody on the team has been warding.

OP is using the support as a scapegoat for his/her and their team's ineptitude at warding.

Shame on you. Buy a ward.

It can't hurt the adc to buy a ward every once in awhile... or upgrade their trinket.

Honestly, I don't understand why the support HAS to buy sightstone (instead of buying wards, I don't mean no vision at all!) or risk being reported, but nobody ever forces the adc to either buy wards or upgrade their trinket. What's with that double standard? I buy wards as the adc, and it never stops my build.

I support all the time, upgrade my trinket, but I dont waste money on sightstone and wards. Teammates lack the proper map awareness to be wasting money on items I could have spent on better damage/heal/peel to save their stupid asses.

If they want more vision they can drop their free trinkets more than 3 times in a 45 minute match.

I see this shit so much... is it that hard to ward?

Edit: stares at downvote Hey man, trash warding is trash warding. If you can give me a good excuse for 3 wards in a 45 minute game, I'll back off. Get on my level. Speak up.

Apparently...

My last game, me excluded, Enemy jungler warded more than both teams combine, and his was still only 10. Base trinket is on a 2 minute cooltime meaning you can drop it like 20 times in a match without even upgrading it for 250g for 3x the duration and half the cooltime.

For nothing and then the cost of like 3 wards you can get like 30 ward placements in a 45 minute match. In a 20m, since I was curious and looked at a short game, I have 8 wards placed and you know the first 2min is wasted on farting around waiting for minions to spawns so the game can actually start (Cause waiting for that one guy with the slow computer isn't long enough). Wish League would just start spawning immediately like in Demigod.

Ugh, I know exactly how you feel. I might have to start buying sightstone on cinderhulk junglers (the bonus%hp makes up for the slot, if you think about it) in games just to have any good amount of vision.

http://matchhistory.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/#match-details/NA1/1814001018/203352895?tab=overview here's a game where I finally went cinderhulk+sightstone Vi with my friends.

I can't tell what's sadder, the fact that I dealt more damage to the enemy team as the jungler (who doesn't constantly poke the enemy in lane, nor has the damage of a carry?) than my entire team, or that I warded twice as much as our own support with their own sightstone.

And yeah, that game was a throw, I admit. But this vision game, people really misunderstand the whole point of warding. Why is it so hard?

Sad part is I struggle with warding after laning phase because I'm usually spending more of my focus on other support things like peeling/healing/dealing. I usually only find time to drop in nearby lane brushes/jungles to prevent ganks while chasing or pushing. I dont find time to ward 'important' things like dragon or baron. Especially when people recall rather than roam. And its just stupid to roam alone when you're a support.

Also mad warding skillz. That much warding would be wasted on people I normally end up with. Then again I'm unranked so thats also part of my problem with being around people with bad ward/awareness skills.
