You cannot play around what you cannot see. Vision is how you turn information into safe farming, free objectives, and clean picks.
Every ward is a tripwire. A ward in the right bush tells you the enemy jungler is coming before they arrive, turning a gank death into a free escape — or a counter-gank.
The team that controls vision around an objective almost always takes it. Dragon and Baron fights are usually decided before they start, by who saw the other team set up.
Key takeaways
Laners should ward the river and the entrances to their lane to spot ganks. As a solo laner, the river bush nearest your lane is your lifeline before minute 10.
Supports are the primary vision controllers in the bot lane and beyond. Once laning ends, a roaming support placing deep wards in the enemy jungle is worth more than almost any item.
Junglers ward where they plan to path next, and deny enemy vision so their ganks land unseen.
Key takeaways
When you are behind, ward defensively: river entrances, your own jungle, the tribush near lane. This keeps you alive and farming until you stabilize.
When you are ahead, ward offensively: place wards in the enemy jungle and around their buffs so you can catch them out, invade safely, and set up picks before objectives.
