I would love to see a video of examples of how good warding has saved your team instead of you just stating theoretical benefits to good warding. Like they say, actions speak louder than words.

@williamwzl That's true, and I thought about that. I believe that if you can understand a concept of something, then that makes you a better player in general. I do agree though, seeing it in action would definitely help get the point of why it is important across. For my next tutorial I will try to include real games

I'd like to point out two things.

First, this is a pretty good video guide on how to do something, we need more people "theorycrafting", some people like Day9 who is analyzing stuff in SC2. I myself have been hoping to make videos like that, but that brings me to the second:

LoL has currently pretty bad support of replays. LolReplay is not the best thing invented and Riot seem to struggle with giving us a working spectator+replay mode. Hence, dont expect OP to have stuff recorded.

@UniqueChiko Well to be honest I probably did have clips laying around to use for this. But I want my tutorials to go more towards a theorycrafting perspective then showing something actually happening. But either way, I can incorporate both in my next tutorial videos

That's a great tutorial on ward position, but I think the biggest problem to new players is finding a balance between warding and building for your champion. You can't keep the whole map warded up while still aiming for big items. How much should you ward (warding x item build)? When would it be a good time to leave your lane to ward (warding x pushing/defending)? How far should you go to ward other lanes (warding x laning time)? I believe those are the real questions people need answered.

@tulicloure I was planning on doing a support tutorial in the future. Since warding as support can be the same as warding in other lanes, it should cover those questions for not only support but for the other roles as well. I appreciate the feedback though! Always nice to have so I can improve my videos

@williamwzl

Way of spreading it to masses (which we need), is only though social networks and forums. Its not about them relating to seeing something specific, just the spread to people. "Feeding theories and information" work for smart people. I agree, there are a lot of stupid people on the internet, but most of those dont actually search for this kind of improvement, hence will stay bad at the game. The people who enjoy it might recommend to their friends and spread.

@ButButButILY That would be nice. I'll look forward to it.

A very good point for a ward, is but, between the dragon and bush ward, since most junglers have started to come from their jungle, to avoid the dragon ward.

this wont scout dragon, but it will be better for anti-gank's early game

[williamwzl]

@UniqueChiko The people who theorycraft do not need this tutorial because they have already analyzed and realized the benefits of warding. To get this to the masses, you cannot simply feed theories and information. People NEED to be able to relate for the message to get through.

@ButButButILY

I only wanted to say that we need more of that theorycrafting too. Even though some people might not like it, there just are some facts around that just HAVE to apply/impact in the game (stupid example: Annie WILL at lvl 6 burst any caster on mid w/ ignite if they are below 75% HP and got no additional MRes), and people should just believe them, not ask for "oh, but did you even ever have that situation? show me!".

I personally liked your vid, just continue the theory way! ^^
