Can we have an additional map in the Match History that shows wards placed?
I think it would be a very nice thing to analyze the enemy teams warding in general, but especially when you lost. Could we please have that, Riot?

While we're on the subject of heatmap suggestions, it would be nice to have a map that also shows where one has gotten assists, so I know whether most of my assists were in lane with my carry or whether they were teamfighting. I just want to know how good I am at lane support and teamfight support, so I can focus on whichever one I'm lagging in.
Honestly, this would be the greatest learning tool for new supports/jungler/mid laners/adcs that use yellow trink, and top laners ever invented. I.e. everyone should be warding/sweeping more often and in better places and I can't think of a better tool to help new players than this.
Riot said they would not do this because a lot of people like to ward in the same spot at specific times. For example, people could look at a players match history in loading screen and see if they place a pink ward in the same spot everytime and at a specific time. Perhaps see the enemy support always wards drag early on facing Nunu. This can be abused.
Yes please <3
I was about to say they already do say how many, but then I realized you meant map as in a literal map where the wards were. I love this Idea, +1
Don't they have that at the post game screen?
My thoughts on this being abused: Isn't there general areas that always get wards like tribrushes, river brush etc. where, when you play enough you already know where these are and will sweep them more often then in other areas?
"Wow, this guy always wards dragon before it spawns, now I have a huge advantage over him." Aren't you suppose to ward dragon/baron all the time?
and one for wards killed
The reason they don't have it is some people would use it to know where their enemies would always ward, once they know that they clear all of their wards when they really shouldn't know where they placed it.
So you could have a really creative ward placement that nobody would ever think to check, yet is very useful, and then it's destroyed instantly because somebody on the other team looked at your match history.
If you want to see ward placement, spectate higher ranked matches and keep an eye out for wards. Also like 50% or more of jungle guides have maps on them with effective places to ward, some being as detailed as ranking by importance or saying what situations to ward where. The actual placing of wards comes down to experience, getting into the habit of placing/clearing wards and developing somewhat of an intuition on where/when to ward in general or against certain champions (warding against a Shaco is different than against a Nunu).
