How the coach counts it

What is “wards dewarded fast” in Dota 2?

You placed wards, but where the enemy expects them: high ground by the lanes, the standard spots at Roshan and runes. The enemy checked those spots, removed the wards and got gold for them.

How does the coach find this mistake?

The coach looks at how many observer wards you placed and how many the enemy removed. Rating starts at 4 wards: if 50% or more were removed, your spots are predictable.

Why does “wards dewarded fast” cost games?

With a dewarded ward your team thinks it has vision and does not. The enemy gets gold and learns where you are waiting.

How it differs from similar mistakes

  • Too few wards

    Few wards: you placed fewer than 1.5 observer wards per 10 minutes. Wards dewarded: you placed enough, but enemies removed half or more, so change the spots.
