Don't get caught warding the enemy jungle.

In Gold, I would occasionally go ward near the enemy's red buff so that we could keep track of their jungler. What a great idea, right? I'm such a good support. The other day, I discovered that this doesn't fly in Platinum. If you're going to go into the fog of war to place a ward, you better know where their team is. Even if you're Janna with boots of mobility, wait until you know it's clear. Don't risk it.

"I'm gonna go place a ward, I'll be right back." "ok"

"Hey guys, smell at that Janna over there by our red buff." "Yeah, lets get her!"

"You're on the wrooong side of the river." "Oh, Hi guys. Uh, I was just leaving." "Naw, you ain't going NOWHERE."

If our team is being bullied out of our own jungle so that I can't even ward (or my dummy teammates love chasing blind into the enemy's), I grab my favorite comfort pick support item;

I am absolutely crazy about this item. Ask anyone on my 3s team.

Warding buffs does work, but wait until you know where their jungler is and make sure their mid doesn't go mia. Those guys will ward every once in a while and see you. I got caught two games in a row. They literally surrounded me.

I think it's basically that they had more ward coverage than you do.

If they had their tri warded, and their the bush BEHIND red warded, it's not hard seeing you going there, and if waves allow it, it's not hard to make a catch onto you :)

I'm pretty sure you're right. The point was that I had been making this mistake the whole time and getting away with it. I started being punished for it, so I had to learn and get better.

Hey man, sometimes you're bad at the game. Get away with stuff until you can't get away with it any more.

That was actually a genuine compliment.

The majority of people DON'T understand that warding actually is one of the MOST important aspect of the game.

You need to LEARN to ward before you can get any better :)

I learned to ward perfectly as a solo laner and still don't look at the visible part of the maps and get ganked :'(

I didn't think you were being sarcastic. Thank you for the compliment. :)

You also can if you have truesight of everywhere you go and are sure they don't know you're there. And you can't just leave lane obviously heading in that direction or they might just be able to guess it, too. Also some champions like Lee can just ward anywhere and get away with it.

Anyone else think this is actually just a stealth-bragging thread about how he got promoted to Plat?

I didn't actually get promoted though. I'm in my series for Platinum right now. I am duo queue with someone who is plat 3 and we typically get matched against plat 4 to plat 2 opponents. I'll make a proper bragging thread when I complete my series don't worry :3 The point of this thread was to provide a humorous look at getting caught warding.
