Illuminating the darkness of Summoner’s Rift, wards have existed since the beginning of League of Legends itself.
Due to technological limits, wards have been bland and unassuming for the longest time.
With recent advances in graphic technology, wards have gone from an unassuming lamp post into an intriguing trophy collection with endless bragging rights.
Here’s a list of the top 10 ward skins worth swaggering about over.
