Map visibility plays a huge role inLeague of Legends.
The map may also be uncovered byminions, some champions' abilities (e.g.
Nidalee’s traps or Teemo’s Noxious Trap), as well as globalult(e.g.
Ashe’s Crystal Arrow, Ezreal’s Trueshot Barrage), which fly across the entire map.
However, the most popular way to sustain the map visibility is setting downWards.
Those can be bought in the game’s store.
They reveal a small fragment of the map after which they disappear.
They can be destroyed by the opponent if, he e.g.
put aVision Wardnearby or used theSweeping Lens.
Vision ward:It is the, so called,Pink, i.e.
It is available at the shop for 100 gp.
Each one of the heroes can only have 2 suchWardsat a time.
Each player can only deploy oneVision Wardon the map.
Warding Totem:the so calledTrinket, which can be obtained at the shop, completely free of charge.
Selling theTrinket(e.g.
so you can exchange it for another one) blocks the ability to use them for 180 seconds.
On level 9, theward Totemtransforms into theGreater Totem.
You only need to:
Press the right button (numbers from1to6), depending on which slot containsWards.
This will create a ring around your champion within which theWardcan be put down.
Wards' cast range gives you some space for quick reactions.
ClickingRMBwill put down aWardand uncover the surrounding area.
All enemies walking by that place will be discovered and marked on theminimap.
If, in turn, they come across aWard, they can become an easy target themselves.
Wards give tactical advantage
champions playing on theTopor theMidoften haveTeleportas one of the summoner spells.
Thus they can teleport to a Ward and cut off enemy’s retreat.
Control Wardreveals camouflaged heroes, such as Evelynn, Twitch, Pyke and Rengar.
However, it is useless against heroes like Kha’Zix or Talon because these characters can become invisible.
In certain situations, aControl Wardcan hinder enemy actions.
This will ease the game, especially forJungler, whoGanksa lot.
If you are usingOracle Lens, avoid situations where two or more players cover the same area.
Also, avoid using Oracle Lens near aControl Ward.
Place aControl Wardin a safe area to make it a more difficult target.
You should also place this Ward while you are fighting aDragonor aBaronto limit the enemies' sight.
Blue planthas two uses - offensive and passive.
you could use it on enemy terrain to make potentialGankseasier, or on your terrains to avoidInvades.
TheTotemtakes 240 - 120 seconds to recharge.
Ward has 3 health points.
Important - if a rewealedWardwas destroyed by an ally, they will both get gold.
During that time, the enemy heroes will be visible on the map for 5 seconds.
