Featured Game Modes

General

  • A ward's vision does not extend over terrain.
  • The sight from wards is classified as allied vision, and will be lost while under the effects of Nearsight icon Nearsight. This includes wards that you placed.
  • As of V7.16, passively generated one-use on-hit effects, such as Kircheis Shard item Energized, Power Chord Power Chord or Headshot Headshot, will not be consumed when attacking wards. Some cases were not added until later and other missing cases should be reported as a bug.
  • If more than one allied champion is nearby when you kill a ward, all champions gain an equal share of 133.3% of the experience bounty.
  • If more than one allied champion is involved in the kill, only the killer earns the Gold Gold Gold bounty. This is unless another ally is granting vision with a Sweeper Drone icon Sweeper Drone or Duskblade of Draktharr Duskblade of Draktharr, in which case both receive the full Gold Gold Gold bounty.

Strategy

Placing wards
  • A ward placed outside a brush will not grant vision of the said brush. Placing a ward inside a brush will grant vision of the brush and of the surrounding area.
  • Placing wards near objectives such as Template:Moi or Template:Moi will give your team valuable informations as long as the ward is present.
  • Allied Wards (except Farsight and Zombie) can be targeted by Teleport Teleport, Jax's Jax's Leap Strike Leap Strike and Lee Sin's Lee Sin's Safeguard Safeguard. Note that doing so will Exposed icon expose the ward for 2 seconds. Teleport's channel will continually refresh the exposure, but renders the ward untargetable until the channel completes.
Removing wards
  • Control Ward icon Control Wards reveal and Disabled Ward icon disable others wards within their Sight icon Sight.
  • Sweeper Drone icon Sweeper Drones will True Sight icon reveal and Disabled Ward icon disable stealthed wards within its radius, and highlight visible wards as a red silhouette. Note that the drone can see Exposed icon into brush and over terrain.
  • Duskblade of Draktharr's Duskblade of Draktharr's passive, Blackout, triggers when you are spotted by a ward or stealthed trap. While active, you Disabled Ward icon disable all nearby wards and Exposed icon expose nearby stealthed wards and traps. Unlike a Sweeper Drone icon Sweeper Drone, Blackout does not allow you to see over terrain or highlight other unseen units.
    • Note that Blackout will also trigger when spotted by a visible ward, potentially wasting the stealth detection effect.
  • Template:Moi grants True Sight icon vision of Wards hit for 12 seconds.
  • Wards take 1 damage when hit by a basic attack, regardless of the attack's damage or on-hit effects. Abilities that grant attack resets or effects that cause you to hit twice will allow you to kill wards faster. For example:
  • As of V6.13, attacking a ward will no longer classify you as entering combat. For example, you will retain the bonus movement speed from Boots of Mobility Boots of Mobility, Template:Moi and Taliyah's Taliyah's Rock Surfing Rock Surfing.
  • Ward Rubble
    When a ward is killed, times-out or is replaced, they leave behind Ward Rubble icon Ward rubble for 5 minutes. This can be used to gain knowledge of the enemy's warding habits.
