Continued from Part 1:
Despite many community websites including tutorials outlining ward placing, players still can not grasp the basics as these guides are often not updated version to version, with some simply not including the key areas. With these factors in mind, Alex “HEARTu.WE5T” Kim, helped compile an extensive list of areas in the game where wards achieve most effectiveness.
Sentinel - Southern Neutral Creeps
There is small formation of oddly colored grass which looks similar to the meeting of two arrows. Placing a ward here grants vision of the northern neutral creeps as well as stopping future spawns. A large portion of the southern Sentinel forest can also be viewed.
Sentinel - Ancients
On the outer cliff tip of the cliff there is a small patch of irregular grass, place a ward here; vision will be granted of the Sentinel ancients and a large portion of the river heading northwest.
Sentinel - Outer Limits of the Base
Located only a bit East of the Sentinel base, there is a large hill. Placing a ward on the very top tier of the rock mound will grant a very large area of vision, stopping the spawn of neutral creeps nearby.
Scourge - Outer Limits of the Base
Located near the northeast portion of Scourge pathway into the base is a large hill. Placing a ward on the second tier of the rock mound will grant vision of the top Scourge pathway as well as a large portion of the actual base.
Sentinel - Base
Placing a ward on the eastern portion of the Sentinel will grant the most vision possible compared to any area in the base. If your team has an initiating hero such as Earth Shaker, Crystal Maiden, or Sand King, it is a good idea to place a ward hero to get the best results from an AOE ultimate.

Scourge - Base
Placement is rather crucial in this location, that is to be granted the largest span of vision. I have found that placing the ward near the gates and south of the Slaughterhouse will produce the biggest area of vision. Again if your team has an initiating hero such as Earth Shaker, Crystal Maiden, or Sand King, a wise choice would be to place a ward here.
