PSA to Silver/Bronze Players
To the Silver players, well done getting out of Bronze, but please stop bringing Bronze into Silver. I had a game yesterday where my jungler kept complaining his jungle was getting invaded, but we had no vision of it. After reviewing the game stats of each player on my team, he was the ONLY person who didn't buy a single ward all game. Out of 17 deaths for our team, he was 10 of them by himself. Now, in low Bronze I would expect that somebody continuing to run into their jungle completely unwarded, when the opposing jungler is warding all their camps and getting kills, but not in mid Silver. It feels like common sense, but people still do not ward at all. I don't know if people believe they are just so good now they don't need vision or what, but vision control is important in all ranks. If you're getting invaded constantly, you should spend a lot of gold on wards, so when you DO get invaded, we can peel from lane to collapse on him to kill him. If you aren't making somebody pay for counter jungling, they will continue to do so. In the end, the jungler raged at us and told us we were shit because we didn't sit in the jungle to wait for Yi (like all good pro teams do) and at one point even said "LOL NO WARDS FUCKIN NOOBS". This isn't a rant thread, this is just advice so that people understand that when shit like this happens, it's not anybody else's fault but their own. Wards save lives.
To Bronze players, if you want out of Bronze, buy wards. Being able to surprise somebody at a camp or catch somebody roaming is far better than that extra 30 ability power or 15 attack damage you bought instead.
EDIT: It must be noted that if you're playing or playing versus a Devourer Jungler, there's a VERY HIGH chance you're going to get counter jungled. So WARD UP.
