FOR SCIENCE: All you need to know about wards


Welcome to the League Of Science!

Where we will keep you updated with all the math behind League of Legends. We will give you an overview of the current best builds (backed up by formulas) and if you have any League related questions, feel free to ask and we'll settle them ASAP, all to help you get up in the ranks!

Today we will be talking about wards.

Note: The pictures below depict warding locations based on three different settings. Performing a split push strategy where your team is getting pushed back to your own base but you have one or more players pushing another lane requires a separate set of warding locations that is not listed in this guide. However, splicing some of these scenarios below together will potentially get you all the ideal warding locations for any situation!

The first picture depicts ideal ward locations during the laning phase. DO NOT WARD EVERY SINGLE LOCATION THAT CONTAINS A STEALTH WARD PICTURE. Ward accordingly depending on where the vision is needed. For example, if you ward tri-bush and dragon pit down in bot lane, you don't need the ward at the corner of dragon pit that's sometimes used when you're trying to conserve wards.

The second picture depicts ward locations for when your team is pushing. Ward these locations to make sure your team stays dominant. Victory is just around the corner!

The third picture depicts ward locations for when your team is getting pushed. Keep your base safe, and attempt to catch an enemy out of position to lessen any advantage the enemy team may have. Don't worry the game isn't lost yet!

Warding is not only for supports! Make sure that everyone is doing their fair share of warding. Having vision saves lives and reduces the chances of making a mistake, whereas a lack of vision... well you just better hope they're not waiting for you in the bush you're about to face check.
