LoL Best Places to Ward in Season 14 - Where to Ward Guide

League of Legends Season 14 has brought significant changes to the game. Patch 14.1 introduced new terrain alterations, giving the gameplay a refreshing twist. With updated maps, altered walls, and shifted bush locations, it's essential to identify the optimal warding positions in LoL post-Patch 14.1. This guide aims to highlight these strategic warding locations for Ranked climbing.

Where to Ward in LoL Season 14?

Warding plays a crucial role, often overlooked by players in lower ranks. Maintaining vision is pivotal in League of Legends, and so is placing wards strategically.

Even before Patch 14.1, the best warding locations are those covering intersections, allowing you to spot enemy movements towards your lane or the jungle heading to the top or bottom of the map.

Mid Lane:

Mid lane is now safer, but the river bush seems elongated, making full vision challenging. Place the ward as far into the bush as possible for optimal vision.

Covering this intersection is tricky; placing a ward in the middle of the river is optimal, but also consider warding the bush, as a jungler might sneak by.

Top Lane Warding:

Red Side:

Opt for river warding instead of the obvious bush warding. This provides advanced notice if the enemy jungler approaches.

In the jungle, place a ward beside the bush to see any incoming junglers from both paths.

Blue Side:

Avoid the obvious bush ward and opt for warding beside it.

Bot Lane Warding:

A new bush in bot lane exists, but be cautious about warding it too quickly, as it's easily discoverable by enemies.

Red Side:

The optimal warding location remains unchanged beside the bush. This provides visibility for potential ganks and enemy junglers approaching.

The pink ward in the bush will help you find wards such as the circled one:

Blue Side:

The ward shown above offers extensive vision, allowing you to spot approaching enemies, roaming mid-laners, or threats towards the Drake.

Jungle Warding: 

The new wall in front of Drake has changed the warding dynamics in League of Legends. Warding on both sides of it is advisable for optimal vision. A pink ward in the middle of the lake reveals the enemy team's wards around the dragon.

Warding Baron, especially with the All-Seeing Baron pit, is challenging. Try warding the bush's side near it.

We hope these warding locations assist you in staying safe on Summoner's Rift in your next LoL game!
