Warding in League of Legends is a constant battle of wits and skill. Through smart and efficient ward placements, you’ll be able to spot enemies as they rotate and move throughout the map, thus improving your team’s ability to make decisions. This guide will break down some uncommon but useful warding locations in League of Legends and tell you how to place them.

What are Challenging Wards?

This ward is a great ward to place when you’re up against champions who can engage from afar or who go invisible. A deeper ward like this allows you to safely ward the enemy bush while not being away from your lane for too long.

What are Objective Wards?

Warding major objectives is essential when you want to take them. Knowing where the enemy Jungler is and if they can contest the objective will help you secure the objective or provide you with enough time to back away safely.

What are Early Wards?

Placing wards in the very early game comes with its pros and cons. Warding too early is pretty much useless, but warding too late or not at all can get you killed. Some champions like Twitch, Jarvan, Elise, Lee Sin, Shaco, etc., can gank a lane at level 2. Usually, this lane will be the mid-lane, but it’s not uncommon for them to gank the bottom lane. If the enemy is one of these Junglers, try and place a ward inside their jungle in the early game to spot them before they make their way to the mid-lane.
