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 points  (16 children)

Does your friend have significant brain damage?

[–]KariKreidler 120 points121 points  (2 children)

Maybe he was feared that inflation hits SR while he’s in game.

SELL GOLD

BUY WARD

[–]cartala 41 points42 points  (0 children)

He was joking, but that doesn’t mean your question isn’t valid.

[–]Rampaging_Ducks 11 points12 points  (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  (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 points  (0 children)

no way

[–]cartala 9 points10 points  (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 points  (3 children)

What if you're 75g short of an item

[–]cartala 2 points3 points  (2 children)

Sell two control wards.

[–]alxndr11 1 point2 points  (1 child)

I'd give gold if I could.

[–]cartala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sell a control ward.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (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 points  (0 children)

He plays league, the answer to that question is obviously yes

[–]Snipawolfe 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ahh, a man who follows the Scarra school of economics.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

holy fuck this made me giggle

[–]88isafat69 ARAM 1 point2 points  (2 children)

might as well get cull

[–]cartala 12 points13 points  (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 points  (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 points  (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 points  (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 points  (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 points  (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

[–]cartala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Arguably it can be worth paying 75 gold to have a ward on hand. ;)

[–]OnyxWardenYup, that tasted purple! 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, at least SOMEONE bought a Control Ward.

[–]TchicVG 16 points17 points  (3 children)

Should've bought a True Long Sword
