Why do the pre-game tips never say "Wards win games"?

You'd think that'd be an important one to put in. Too many idiots think wards are for "tryhards".

Wards don't win game. Nexuses win games.

You people are so silly sometimes. XD

I've seen so many bronze player call support and they have no clue how to play the role. Never ward, and then wonder why they get ganked so much. I'll ask them when they complain...."where's your sighstsone?" to which I never get reply because they know I'm right. But yet these people think they are ready to play ranked when they can't even learn basic mechanics.

Gotta love those bronze supports that never buy gold income or sightstone but just gotta get that item 3041 .

I play Jungle (I'm unranked) and I actually place about as many wards as the support (I don't get the item 3361 either). I take this role because the top, mid, and ADC won't place wards.

Because knowing that people who are rude to team mates lose 13% more games is more important.

DrProfVibeCheckApr 4, 20151 votes

Not having wards can CAUSE the rudeness xD

MelfinoApr 4, 20151 votes

I disagree. Yes, wards are important. And yes they could win you the game.

But being rude to teammates because they don't buy wards make you a less-teamplayer and will eventually make you lose the game. summoner 30

I've actually had that one before.

Yesterday the best one was "you cannot exceed a 40% CDR cap". We were loading into URF...

"Did you know? We installed a hack on to everyone's game. You can buy this hack at the item shop for 75 gold. We call it Ward."

"Ever get the feeling someone is watching you? It's probably true. Because the enemy bought a Ward and you didn't. Now you're dead. You just look silly now."

"Random numbers show that buying a Ward reduces your chance of feeding by 1028%."

"So this one time I bought a bike with my allowance money as a kid. Thought I was cool. Some other kid could only get a skateboard. So I'd go up and show off what I had. Little did I know that he had enough gold left over to buy a Ward. So he stuck it in my tires as I was moving. It didn't end up well. Moral of the story is Wards get you kills."

At least you'd be able to tell them why they're in Wood League.

Leti the YetiApr 4, 20155 votes

They wouldnt believe anyway :O

anyways back to wards its too fking difficult to show why wards are OP

the OP nid, zed, lb, lee win circlejerk club recruits new members all the time club OP trinket has a lame ass marketing team unfortunately

What do you expect? We've only got a Hart of gold to supply our income.

And lets not forget that huge debt we racked up before wards had limits (You have no idea how much lobbying it took to get that done). We're going to be making payments on that well into 2065.

The others get to enjoy all those kill streaks, tower drops, and LC$ sponsorship. We simply can't compete.

im diamond and ive never bought a ward in my life. So I guess because its not true. You win games by killing the nexus in any way possible.

DrProfVibeCheckApr 4, 20154 votes

You're either very lucky top layer, an even luckier mid laner, or a liar.

Holy hell you're not joking.

Bacause your support is buying all the wards. Every laner should buy a pink and wards. Buying wards is necessary as well ( item 3340 im not referring to trinkets). THe ADc can just upgrade it and he has a small sightstone. Destroying the Nexus will inevitably win the game but knowing where the enemy is at what time can help you even further to either start Baron or Dragon or even take towers. It makes sense not to buy wards because you might be pushed as a top laner. But thats the only reason i can think of or you are adc. Having 3 minutes to be safe from a gank is all it needs to get fed or be aggressive.

There are 100s of such things the tips could say. They don't. Bit of a waste really.

wards won't kill the nexus

AD does

arcinexApr 5, 20151 votes

Because rito wants you to blindly run into an enemy nexus through four enemy turrets for 50 gold. Gotta get that Health Potion...

I'm trying to get into the habit of upgrading my trinket for every role in every game. I usually don't get around to it until lvl 11, but I do upgrade it by midgame when everyone is roaming all over the place. That and an early pink and green ward during early game, and I'm pretty much safe from ganks.
