Point Target
Plants an Observer Ward, an invisible watcher that gives vision of its surrounding area to your team.
Notes
- Observer Wards are permanently invisible and do not block paths.
- Wards have ground vision and cannot see through trees or the high ground above them.
- Cannot be placed within 1350 range of the fountain. Cannot be placed in the Roshan pit.
- Holding down Control + the item hotkey transfers a ward to an ally by clicking on them.
- Blocks neutral creep camps from spawning.
Strategy[edit]
- It is best to place wards strategically in areas of high enemy traffic. They can forewarn your team of incoming enemy attacks due to their large vision range.
- Wards are generally placed on cliffs at the highest elevation, so they can see unobstructed into the areas below.
