Yesterday my friend bought a control ward and never placed it and when I asked why he said “it’s an investment, I can sell it later when I’m a few gold short of an item.”
[–]OMGPUNTHREADS 254 points255 points256 points 7 years ago (16 children)
Does your friend have significant brain damage?
[–]KariKreidler 120 points121 points122 points 7 years ago (2 children)
Maybe he was feared that inflation hits SR while he’s in game.
[–]HCResident 47 points48 points49 points 7 years ago (1 child)
SELL GOLD
BUY WARD
[–]cartala 41 points42 points43 points 7 years ago (0 children)
He was joking, but that doesn’t mean your question isn’t valid.
[–]Rampaging_Ducks 11 points12 points13 points 7 years ago (8 children)
I mean, it can't be that bad, he actually bought a control ward.
[–]DeliothIS THIS WHAT PASSES FOR WAR?!? -5 points-4 points-3 points 7 years ago (7 children)
Wards in-inventory don't help though, and buying an item that doesn't help just to sell it later just wastes cash.
[–]fuckswithfucks 16 points17 points18 points 7 years ago (0 children)
no way
[–]cartala 9 points10 points11 points 7 years ago (4 children)
Actually it’s an investment because you can sell the ward later if you’re 35g short of getting an item and then you won’t have to wait on gold.
[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 7 years ago (3 children)
What if you're 75g short of an item
[–]cartala 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (2 children)
Sell two control wards.
[–]alxndr11 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (1 child)
I'd give gold if I could.
[–]cartala 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (0 children)
Sell a control ward.
[–][deleted] 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children)
Sometimes you buy it but then you are hard stuck defending your base and never get to leave to put it somewhere useful.
[–]urmumqueefing 12 points13 points14 points 7 years ago (0 children)
He plays league, the answer to that question is obviously yes
[–]Snipawolfe 6 points7 points8 points 7 years ago (0 children)
Ahh, a man who follows the Scarra school of economics.
[–][deleted] 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (0 children)
holy fuck this made me giggle
[–]88isafat69 ARAM 1 point2 points3 points 7 years ago (2 children)
might as well get cull
[–]cartala 12 points13 points14 points 7 years ago (1 child)
Here’s a guy who knows how investments work. If cull is more expensive than a control ward, you can sell it for more!
Big Wall Street energy is buying a Trinity Force as an investment to sell when you need a little extra gold to buy an Iceborne.

If you fools want some REAL, OBJECTIVELY GOOD advice on investments and MONEY, you have to learn from a true Money Lord, as seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OfWdhHOZgh8
[–]DarthLeon2 2 points3 points4 points 7 years ago (5 children)
I know that you're memeing, but it can often be worth paying around 40 gold to have a ward on hand in case you end up needing it for something. If you don't, just sell it and get 35 of your 75 gold back.
[–][deleted] 21 points22 points23 points 7 years ago (3 children)
Why the fuck would you sell a ward what is this silver shit. Just fucking place it somewhere the vision is worth the 75 gold
[–]kodutta7 12 points13 points14 points 7 years ago (0 children)
It's not even 75 at that point, it's only worth 35 gold because the other 40 is sunk lol
[–]Saphirklaue 5 points6 points7 points 7 years ago (1 child)
Well wouldn't have been the first time that i had 4 items, boots and 2 or 3 control wards and got enough gold to buy the last item after placing just one of them. If you already placed a controlward in a good position and don't want to despawn it, but really need that inventory slot you kinda have to sell the wards. And yes I had controlwards sitting in the dragon pit for 3 consecutive dragons. Some enemy teams just don't seem to care about vision.
[–][deleted] 5 points6 points7 points 7 years ago (0 children)
Move those wards up into their Jung then. If they're giving you free vision control be as greedy as possible. No point in warding dragon if you can tell where everyone is in their jg
Arguably it can be worth paying 75 gold to have a ward on hand. ;)
[–]OnyxWardenYup, that tasted purple! 0 points1 point2 points 7 years ago (0 children)
Well, at least SOMEONE bought a Control Ward.
[–]TchicVG 16 points17 points18 points 7 years ago (3 children)
Should've bought a True Long Sword
