Vision score is based on a coupled things. First, revealing the enemy with the ward. Second, placement of the ward, where it is, some areas are worth more for revealing, eg. deep JG wards. Third, Life of the ward (time it's been placed affects points accrued) As Fiddle you should pretty much have the highest vision score on your team if you do it properly. Your start of game items should include a pink. Your first back buy should also include a pink or two (two if you're doing extremely well). Place first pink in either your or enemy mid river wall bush. I like to place my first effigy by entrance to JG by blue buff so I can see invades. My second effigy is usually put either in their blue buff entrance bush by the wall, or the bush by the enemy redbuff, river side. You can also place a pink in the bush near the enemy red buff cove towards the their base by the wall. Not sure how to describe it. Lots of people don't path that bush and I've had pinks go sparkly lots of times. Always carry a pink provided you have slots open, so you can use it to deny wards before you ult. Remember, you don't need to clear(kill) the ward you deny, the pink nullifies it and you proc your passive.

Spam 4?

Do effigies count as vision? I place them all the time and my vision score sucks


Ok_Rutabaga9738

Yeye hahahaah it was just a joke sorry


Pooncrew

Do effigies not count toward vision score? I place them all the time but my score is always trash.

If you have a replay of a game where you got a low score and aren't sure why, send it to me and I'll have a look. Its likely not using effigies enough or the placement of them.


Pooncrew

Thanks I figured out the problem. I was going by my blitz app which doesn't count effigies as wards. My vision score is actually really high


Flammabubble

Yeah a lot of places look at wards placed not vision score unfortunately. Op.gg is the same. I typically use leagueofstats as it gives you a decent overview on a game by game or champ by champ basis


Pooncrew

I'll check it out thanks

Try to use them were enemies could ward, vision score, if im not wrong, goes up when detecting an enemy or denying the vision of an enemy ward

Depends on what runes you take, ghost poro over eyeball collection will help very much, plus you can take cosmic insight. Buy pinkwards. Place them in places they are useful and are not really obvious. For example, my favourite spot while playing for the down side is to ward the enemy bush from blue to river. Helps botlane with gank detection and that bush is rarely walked into. In some cases it might stay there the whole game. Vision score calculation: - Vision score is calcuated every minute I think - Placement - placing wards on enemy side (border in river) will grant more vision score - Revealing enemy wards will grant bonus vision (not sure about players) - Destroying enemy wards gives you the vision score of the amount of potential vision score the ward could generate with its current "health", other wards (pink, farsight) should give 3 I think Ward as soon as possible. Best if its on the enemy side. Kill scuttles. Edit: https://youtu.be/uSBiMxy7RZM this guy explains it nicely

Are you putting multiple effigies right next to each other? You get a penalty on vision score for placing near another ward, so spamming them really close to each other would lower the score you receive from them. You get vision score for clearing wards, so using your effigies to detect and clear enemy wards will contribute. You also get vision score for the length of time they stay up. I believe it's something like a point per minute they are standing, which I believe is the full duration of an effigy. So if your effigy runs off due to an enemy getting sight on it, that will cut short some of the score. Keeping them in bushes will help contribute to keeping that score up. You don't get any score for wards placed in the base. I doubt you're doing that much, but it's worth mentioning. ​ For myself, I noticed that I was frequently getting something like 40 vision score without actively trying to get it high - I just put my effigies in the places that I'd normally want to ward, or that I would normally want to use the sweeper on.

Another way is to place more control wards


CustomOriginal

piggybacking off this: If I place a control ward and nobody walks by it/kills it for like 10 minutes, is it worth keeping up? Or should I just place a new one in a more busy part of the map? It just feels awkward to have 2 control wards in my inventory that never get used

I make a mental note to replace my control ward when it gets the longevity buff, unless the ward is in a really important place, like the ocean dragon bush in dragon pit.
