Of course, more wards are always better.

On the other hand, you're not the warding bitch. You are support (regardless of many people's opinion, it's not the same). When you can maintain (=keep constantly up, constantly!) 4 wards, then you are already doing a much, much better job than most players. Sightstone alone will not do the job.

Where and how many wards you need is situational. I differentiate 3 different scenarios.

-Teams are even. I try to ward the river, covering all jungle entries and exits of both jungles, and objectives.

-We are behind. I try to ward our jungle, and jungle entrances. Objectives only if i am 100% sure that i will not get caught.

-We are ahead. I try to ward the entire enym jungle + Objectives.

Additionally to that, i of course always carry wards around in order to prevent face-checks. I mainly use the sightstone for checking bushes, since i usually return to base more often than i use 5 ward charges anyway, and if the ward is "only" for checking something really quick anyway then it's no problem if it disappears 2 wards later.
