Warding- The difference between Bronze & Diamond

I'm starting to see now a huge difference on how wards play a huge part in the Game. Last season on another Account I got to silver 1 before I was banned for using a 3rd party program ( Custom Skins I guess). I quit for awhile and came back and I've always known how important wards were as support but never as anything else. I always used the free ward I had and that was about it.. Even then I'd forget to use it when it was up sometimes or didn't pay to much attention to where I put it, I figured a ward is vision at least somewhere so what does it matter where I put it. Then the last game I played someone had placed a ward right next to ward I already placed.. Which is a waste of vision since we already had vision there.

Over the coarse of the last month I have been paying attention to games I play in and realized the majority of the games lost was because people were getting caught out and dying. I would play support and I could place 3 wards and 1 pink and at any given time but the map is so huge there is no way as a support I can ward the whole map and given vision where it is needed the whole game. I started paying attention to players on my team and noticing none of them buying wards not even a pink. They wouldn't even use the free wards they had and never bothered to upgrade those ward..

I remember one game someone told me "It's only supports role to ward the map and other players shouldn't buy wards because they have to worry about their build". I know the common misconception is to think "Duh... everyone should ward" but in reality if you pay attention to you games in casual and low elo games you will notice how unimportant people think wards are and don't even bother to upgrade their wards let alone use the free ones they have.

Then I started watching Diamond games on up and noticed everyone was getting wards and placing them everywhere and always upgrading their free trinkets. I noticed how they avoided getting ganked and caught out and knew where the enemy was on the map to set up ganks. So I would like to tell everyone out there that if you are new and leveling up or you are bronze/silver to start buying wards and upgrading your trinkets. 100 gold for a pink is worth saving your team mates from ganks or setting up a potential gank.

There is a reason high rank players say wards wins games and it's not for shits & giggles. If you aren't buying a pink ward or upgrading your trinket you are decreasing the chance of your team winning the game. It's not just the supports job to ward, it's a huge freaking map and a support can only throw 3 wards down and 1 pink which covers only a small section of the map.

I think lower elo players worry so much about getting kills and trying to carry that they think that is the easiest way to get higher elo. While it plays a factor in how good you are, wards play an even bigger factor because you can be 10-0-0 and lose your lead by getting caught out and ganked.

If anyone disagrees that wards are important and it's not just the supports job to ward I suggest you go watch an LCS game or a Diamond on up game and then come back here and try to argue it. It doesn't matter if you only you and the support are warding, don't not ward just because your team mates don't ward. Do your part, that's all you need to do.

Side not: for 5s teams I think it would also be a good idea to plan out sections for your team mates to ward that way there is no confusion on where wards are suppose to go.
