Warding wins Games

About a month ago, I was Bronze 5. I didn't ward as much as I could have and used to flame my team for getting caught out all the time. Sometime around that month ago time, I warded so much. I prioritized warding. I would almost always get my trinket upgraded at 9, and would have a pink ward out in the game for at least 80% of the game. Sometimes I would ward more than the enemy team put together. I started climbing really easily after that (70% win rate as anivia mid since then) and just hit Silver 5 this past weekend. So keep on warding, and keep on climbing!

I actually get cancer every time I see team mates running around lvl 10 without trinket upgrade.

Upgrading trinket is worth more gold than it costs. (Like a crazy ton more gold)

Especially at lvl9 when people start roaming.

You can play like crap in silver, but if you ward. You help everyone = everyone plays better which can cover for your lack of skill.

I wish more people were like you, instead of the "I swear I'm good, it's your fault" players.

I have 1100 wins and I just realized yesterday that the upgrade gives 3 wards.. WTF OP a sighstone for 250 gold that doesnt take a slot?? I thought it just changed the time from 120sec to 180sec or gave the option of a pinkward. I guess I never read the whole description cause 250 gold for 3 wards was kind of unimaginable. MAN I will always buy this from now on at level 9. I think many ppl dont know it gives 3.. if its just me and its common knowledge then I get why ppl complain about ppl not buying wards. I always bought pink ward cause there is always a vayne or someone and usually bought it late game which you dont always reach.

I started to main Shaco and let me tell you, if I'm fed 3 of the enemy team will buy a pink trinket, if they have a fed Rengar my support will sweep uselessly and we will die.

The worst is the people who copy pro players and sit top and pressure it all game, yet they don't buy wards but they're hitting the inhib tower and 3 people kill him and the blame automatically goes onto the jungler. I upgrade trinket level 9 95% of the time, you need to place 3 pink wards with the pink trinket for it to be cost efficient and 4 stealths for the upgraded trinket. Even if you're toplane and you're behind and you can finally afford that longsword, get a trinket instead, vision avoids more deaths than a little bit of AD.
