If you are not familiar with dota, you can place down items that will give vision through fog of war called observer wards
These are invisible to enemy team
They can only be visible and destroyed if a sentry ward is placed down.
The reason this game needs them is because
The ward minigame in dota 2 is very very fun and gives something for supports to do
Its really hard to tell where enemies are
Balances playing field between hackers (who have map hacks) and legit players (about 10% of games i have a suspected hacker so its a big problem)
Sentry ward: 800 item
provides a sphere of vision, long cooldown of 180 seconds
if visible you can heavy melee to destroy a ward, giving souls
Upgrade: Sentry ward 1600
Place down a ward that both provides vision with increased radius and also a smaller sphere which exposes enemy wards and invisible units
This makes it much simpler since 90% of time you wanna place down both sentry and observer in roughly the same spot, so makes it less confusing for new players
Upgrade: Mega ward 3200
Gives an invisible debuff that gives damage amp to anyone caught in radius (stacks diminishingly with more players around)
this debuff is only visible to enemies if the ward is visible
