This image is hosted on a free site so I don't know how long it will stay up for. But this is a little map with spots I just did for warding as a support during the laning phase.
The blue ones are for when you start blue side. Red ones for when you start red/purple side. The ones that are red and blue are for both.
When I am blue side I almost always ward the enemy blue buff at around 6.5 minutes into the game as junglers / mid laners almost always try to get that blue buff as soon as it is back up. The reason I go in at 6.5 minutes is so there is less chance of getting caught trying to ward it. After I have warded the blue buff I generally ward the dragon pit on my way back to lane.
When playing from the red side you can actually ward the bushes in the river closest to your turret from just below where I recommend a pink ward. It can be tricky to do at first, maybe hop in a custom game versus bots and buy a bunch of wards and start practicing landing them in the bush from there. After I have backed and am running back to lane, I almost always try to place a ward in that bush from that spot for 2 reasons - 1) it's safe 2) you can generally place it undetected so they enemy team won't know you placed one there. Especially when you walk back into their vision and don't even walk close to that bush, they'll think you have no vision and probably waste their junglers time by calling him down there.
I rarely place wards in the lane bushes unless I'm facing a jungler that is generally known for lane ganking like Eve or Wukong. A big reason they will gank from lane (especially Eve) is because the bushes are so frequented there will rarely be a pink ward placed in there so Eve can get into the bush undetected if the lane is pushed in their favor.
I will try to get more like this if you would like but for Mid and Top lane and Jungle.

Finally took the plunge into Ranked this week, and I'm 1-6 lol ... won the 1st game and lost 6 in a row
You guys are right Ranked is a whole different animal, everyone's warding and shit like crazy. I played 1 game support and got verbally assaulted for not rushing a Sight Stone ... I actually am not entirely sure where to place the wards TBH ...
I recommend you watch a high level game on youtube or go search reddit for the world championships. you'd be surprised how much you learn

Play enough to finally get in a promo series, only to:
A) Get some total noob taking mid/top and going 0/9/1 to feed a Nasus/Ahri then we get smashed.
B) Some smurf or "friends" account playing on the other team. He chose Riven to go mid and got 25/1/9 or something. He was 1-shotting our ADC & destroyed me with her Q-spam combo after she got fed in her lane.
I know most people think this way, but most if not all the losses are rarely my fault. I'm holding my own or dominating the lane but I can't fight off 2-3 fed champions from the other lanes.
I play a lot of ARAM, champs are not balanced for it but it's just mindless. I like League but I can't stand all the shit talking and bitching by teammates, it's almost always the worst player bitching the most. If I do play regulars or ranked games I mute everyone on both teams that I'm not grouped with, ping me if you need me.

ARAM is a very good way to build knowledge of champions and farm ip/exp and for good mindless fun.
It is completely useless in building knowledge of the actual game when playing Summoners Rift, or even twisted treeline for that matter. I would even argue that it even makes you a worse player going back into SR.
You can mute players if you can't stand the bitching and trash talk. And you're right, usually the worst player starts the bitching, either way you should ignore what they have to say whether you choose to mute or not because your own decisions would probably be more correct anyway.
aram is good for team fighting ? literally all i see is peoplegoing jumping and spamming every possible skill. RARELY do they even focus lmao unless youre at a point that your team isgonna lose bad and they try to focus the other team's best player

ARAM is just a slugfest lol.
I agree with MRSky, I honestly feel like my skill diminishes after playing a couple of ARAM then going back to SR. Like my timing is all off and I forget to roam lanes. So if I play a few games of ARAM I have to take a break or else I'm still in the "gung-ho-flash in and unleash all abilities then die" mentality.
Been playing hexakill and yeah, I think I got rusty. Got into ranked games yesterday after several weeks and I got stomped. Went from gold 2 to gold 5 and just gonna settle there til 11th for my victorious skin.
I've determined that I'll just stick with normal blind pick. No pressure and its fun to stomp on noobs. I feel fucking great owning people with my mediocre Lee sin
