- Warding Basics: Warding is crucial for gaining information and preventing surprise attacks. Place wards in key areas to gain vision control over objectives and important map locations.
- Early Game: Start by placing a ward in the river or pixel brush near the dragon or Baron Nashor pit. This provides early information on the enemy jungler's movements and potential ganks.
- Objective Control: Prioritize warding around major objectives like dragon, Baron Nashor, and Rift Herald. Place wards in strategic locations, such as the entrances to the river or the enemy jungle, to spot incoming threats and secure objectives safely.
- Deep Warding: Once the laning phase is over, consider placing deeper wards in the enemy jungle. These wards can provide valuable information about the enemy team's rotations and allow your team to make informed decisions.
- Defensive Warding: When you're behind or under pressure, focus on defensive warding. Place wards in your own jungle to spot potential invades and prevent ambushes.
- Sweeping and Clearing Wards: Invest in Oracle Lens or Control Wards to deny enemy vision. Sweep commonly warded areas or clear enemy wards when it's safe to do so, denying the enemy team vital information.
- Vision Denial: In addition to warding, deny the enemy's vision by using abilities like Sweeping Lens, Control Wards, or abilities that grant temporary vision, such as Ashe's Hawkshot or Quinn's Heightened Senses.
- Coordinated Warding: Encourage your team to contribute to vision control. Communicate with your teammates, especially your support, to coordinate ward placements and establish a network of vision across the map.
- Prioritizing Vision: Vision control should be a constant priority throughout the game. Continuously evaluate and adjust your warding positions based on the flow of the game, objective timers, and potential threats.
