How to level up your warding game significantly.
LoL: A Short Guide To The Best Wards In The Game
As I'm originally an ADC main, warding spots have never been too important for me. But as I play fasting Senna more often, I also gotta get into warding. So I watched a guide from Swedish pro player Treatz and wanted to share his best warding spots with you.
Warding is essential in League of Legends. Gaining vision on enemy champions simplifies decision-making.
Consider this: how often have you died to an unexpected gank because you didn't ward? I bet it's a lot.
It's a good idea to experiment with the following ward placements in the practice tool first. While some can be challenging to get right, as Treatz emphasized, they're among the best wards in the game and are invaluable to master.
Where to Ward on Blue Side

This ward offers a strategic view of the enemy jungler when they're at Gromp. Plus, it remains undetected by a Blue Buff Brush Pinkward.
This ward can be a bit tricky to position correctly. It's meant to keep an eye on the red side bot tri brush when you're pushing the tower. Champions like Jarvan, Fiddlesticks, and Rek'Sai, for example, often use this route for ganks.

This is the famed "Scarra Ward." Yes, referencing the Twitch Streamer Scarra. Formerly a professional player, there's a memorable clip of him attempting to ward this brush but failing twice.
The key is not to click directly into the brush. Instead, click between the trees on the rock. This method allows you to ward the blue tri brush without needing to face-check it directly.
This ward evades detection by pink wards in the raptor brush or the drake brush. It's adept at revealing the enemy jungler's route.
ADC / Support
This ward facilitates vision within the bot lane brush, eliminating the need for risky face-checks. For precision, place your cursor at the edge of the left waterfall where the water cascades. Although straightforward to place, its significance in games is undeniable.
