[Guide] - Ward placement

Introduction

I see people putting ward in the weirdest places. This guide will teach you where to place wards , so you get the most out of your investment.


Ward Types

Vision Ward


This is called a Vision ward.  People often call them "pinks" because of the pink top that they have. Vision wards can see stealth-ed characters and other wards. People get Vision wards for two reasons.

1. Vision wards detect stealth characters in the lane. Putting a vision ward in the middle of the lane will cripple the stealth character(s) and will give you an advantage of seeing them in stealth.
2. Vision wards are used for ward scouting. Players place this ward at Baron and/or Dragon. Putting a vision ward at Baron and/or Dragon allows you to check if they have any wards there. If you find wards , then you will eliminate the amount of control the enemy have of the map. The more sight of the map a team has , the more control they have. Eliminating their wards will loosen the enemy's control of the map.

Sight ward

Sight wards are the most commonly bought wards. It costs 75 gold and lasts 300 seconds. Buy LOTS of these. Buy at least 15 per game. Unlike Vision wards , Sight wards can't see invisible targets. You use these to see general characters.


WHERE to place wards
You want to put the wards in the places where there are traffic and put wards in bushes. Putting them in bushes give you a vision advantage. You can attack the enemy when they are inside the bushes. Most of the time , they won't know you can see them. So you will catch them off guard.

Here is a map on where to place the wards.


These are generally where you want to place wards. There are exceptions though. If there is a stealth character , then you want to put one in the lane.

WHY ?

Buying wards is an investment. All high level players buy wards. All Dreamhack team bought wards. They are worth it. It will help your team so much.
