Can you ward too much?

Hot Corner··1 votes·1,280 views

I ward more than 92% of the recorded players on WardScore. Is it possible that I am over warding. I play mainly support which could be why. I have been playing a lot of jungle but I still pick up sight stone.

Other than support is there a time to get rid of the Sight Stone is I'm jungling to get a better item in that item slot?

O.o There's no such thing as warding too much, except maybe if your inventory only consists of wards throughout the entire game. Sightstone is a great item on junglers imo. I usually get it when I jungle.

Only if you put 3 wards in the same bush.

At 92% I believe you're doing near the maximum of 3 wards every 3 minutes like you're supposed to. While raw numbers can't say whether you put down useful wards or not, having 3 out consistently (and a good pink somewhere) is the right move. Bad wards are better than no wards.

Well let me ask you about where wards should be, most of the time i place them where the other teams jgler may come from or in the middle of major intersections throughout the jgl depending where the pressure is. I do pick up a pink when I can and put it normally closer to my team so with hope they can keep the lane ahead of my ward placement. example would be the tribush top if we are red. The main reason I do that is because in Bronze no one wards, so if I can keep it alive for as long as possible so I can keep 4 wards on the map most of the time. It just sucks to be the only one warding. My game high was 55 wards, now that is as a support. Even as a jgler I still lead in wards on my team or in the game most of the time.

I really hate solo queue, I'll never get out of bronze. But I will keep trying.

Honestly in very low elo I wouldn't bother with warding this much since people won't know what to do with the knowledge - as a jungler, drop the Sightstone and carry (unless you're Lee).

I did use this advice. I made some bad plays early but did comeback for my first ranked game as jgler. So thank you.

Idk if I agree, I mean yes that will help you win more in Wood/Bronze elo...its a practice like you play thing...practicing vision control now will make you better at it when you arent in trash elo and it matters

Reply if your a jungler in low elo that actually wards you are 100% welcome to Q with me anytime. I main support and it makes me soooo mad to look at the mini map after dropping my 3 green and a pink and see a summon total of 4 ally wards on the map

There is no such thing as warding too much. You ward more than the vast majority of the players because the vast majority does not fucking ward.

You aren't warding too much, other people just aren't warding enough, keep up the good work.

Holy shit, had never seen that website. I ward more than 98% of the playerbase and more than 85% of the supports.

Not sure if that's me doing a good job or 85% of the supports not warding enough.

OMG 98% for me. Someone put the F#$% you pay me gif here plz.

The 92% is a bit skewered by the fact the 1.you main the two roles most responsible for vision control and 2.low elo dumbies(which is the biggest group of players) usually dont ward period.

If you watch like challenger or pro games you will see a a majority of junglers grab sightstone pretty early damn near every game, and when they dont its almost always a thought out decision and trade off they are aware they must make.

The better question would be "Am I warding effectively and intelligently placing my wards so they that they are impactful?".
