Effective warding and vision control strategies

롤토토

The battle for vision is an unseen war. The team that controls the map's vision has the upper hand, and wards are essential tools for this.

Control wards are items you'll need to purchase throughout the game. Each player should purchase at least two to three and place them in key locations. It's not just the support role; all positions should purchase control wards to secure vision.

When placing wards, choose strategic locations. Key locations include river bushes, the enemy jungle entrance, and near the dragon and Baron. Wards placed in these locations can help you anticipate enemy movements, avoid ganks, and secure objectives.

During the laning phase, strong bush wards are crucial. They allow you to anticipate the enemy jungler's gank routes, allowing you to safely advance in the laning phase. Ideally, the mid laner should ward both strong bushes.

In the mid-game and beyond, visibility near objectives is key. Before the dragon fight, ward the entire river to detect enemy approaches, and during the Baron fight, ward deep into the enemy jungle and near the Baron.

Removing enemy wards is also important. If you spot an enemy ward with a Stealth Ward or Control Ward, immediately remove it to block their vision. It's especially crucial to remove all nearby enemy wards before engaging in objective fights.

Ward timing is also important. Wards last 90-150 seconds, so placing them about a minute before a critical objective is effective. By securing peripheral vision 30 seconds before the dragon spawn, you can safely retrieve the objective .
