Vision
Map awareness from wards, scout skills, and reveal effects used to track enemies.
Vision refers to any tool that reveals enemy position or movement — deployable wards plus hero scout, reveal, and camera skills. Good vision control means knowing when a gank is coming before it lands, which lets a laner play safely near their turret instead of guessing. Losing vision around your own jungle or river bushes is one of the most common reasons a lane gets ganked repeatedly in ranked.
