Vision Wards were specialized consumable items in League of Legends that provided true sight vision, allowing teams to detect and reveal invisible units and objects. They were removed from the game in patch V6.22 and replaced by Control Wards.

• Cost: 75 gold
• Health: 4 points (only takes 1 damage per hit)
• Regenerates 1 health every 3 seconds when out of combat for 5 seconds
• Visible to all players (pink top distinguishes from green Stealth Wards)
• Grants 30 gold when destroyed (15 gold each if spotted and killed by different players)
• Limited to 1 placed ward per player
• Can be targeted by Teleport

Objects Revealed:

• Invisible champions (Akali, Evelynn, Kha'Zix, etc.)
• Stealth abilities and objects
• Enemy Stealth Wards
• Traps (Teemo mushrooms, Shaco boxes, etc.)

Strategic Uses:

• Counter stealth champions in lane
• Protect high-priority objectives (Dragon, Baron)
• Clear enemy vision in crucial areas
• Enable safe teleport plays

Notable Changes Before Removal:

• Cost reduced from 150 to 75 gold
• Health adjusted from 5 to 4 points
• Duration changed from limited to infinite

Vision Wards were ultimately replaced by Control Wards in patch V6.22, marking the end of their presence in the game while maintaining the strategic importance of vision control in League of Legends.
