Correct me if I'm wrong, but you ARE talking about one team outwarding another, yes?

If so, it really just depends on how much money the support is willing to spend on wards. I've seen players who (evidentally as the support) won't ward at all, to players who will literally just make it their job to counterward the opposing support.

In any case, though, you can usually counter the opposing support with certain strategies.

> Enemy support isn't warding your jungle  -  Solution: just place sight wards.

> Enemy support is warding your jungle (Not excessively)  -  Solution: place pink wards in your jungle, and clear the wards.

> Enemy support is attempting to pink your entire jungle  -  Solution: get oracles, and a sight stone. Kill their wards, and replace them with sight wards. You're going to be making more money than they will unless theystop warding your jungle, in which case you have vision control in your jungle.

^ Evidentally these work in the enemy jungle as well.

I will admit, sometimes you can't afford to buy tons of wards, but it's really just a matter of making the right decision with the gold that you have.
