Where are areas to cast clairvoyance?

[quote=adam483t]When playing support, it's often recommended to take Clairvoyance. However, I'm usually unsure which areas of the map to use it on. Any help with using it?[/quote]

[quote=Lugignaf]It's really just a practice thing. When you're starting out, you just want to place it in areas like the bushes on the river. Over time, you will learn appropriate placement.[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]Around the enemy blue or red (red when the opposing team has a shaco)early game. But generally you save CV when laning. If someone needs to see the enemy trying to juke into a bush then you CV where or around where they ping to help them. CV is primarily situational, you use it to scout WHERE you want to go. Or if someone is trying to deny your lane by attacking from the bushes, you can use it to clear them out.[/quote]

[quote=beeread]At the beginning you want to CV their fountain to see if they rush out of spawn/see who goes were and look at their starting items. The next CV (~30 seconds)i use to CV their blue/wolves to make sure they are there. If he is at blue the next CV is for w.e you want to use it on, you can hold it or use it again on blue. If he isn't at blue and your team is at your blue then CV their wraiths/red area. If you used your cv to see their blue and they are not their and you want to invade, CV your blue. If they arent there on your second cv then cv wraits/red area. If you do not see them with any of your CV's then either A they aren't doing something good or B it is a really high level game. After your third CV you use the rest of them to CV their jungle and see when he gets red buff, and when he does type in team chat that their jungle has red, allowing your team to know that there is a possible gank coming soon. After that... You can CV an area to make sure people aren't there so you can place a ward safely. You can CV dragon/baron when you don't have a ward there. You can CV a brush that an enemies are running into to hide from your team. You can CV your brush in bot lane. When you get into high level games you can start using CV for mind games, but you'll learn that later, no point in telling now because people are too stupid to fall into traps at play that is not high level. TL;DR CV is used to keep tabs on their jungler, buffs, dragon, baron, and champions. http://solomid.net/blog.php?v=9481 Read that as well[/quote]

[quote=TheJohn]I use CV to see their pool first (and buy an item too xD) If they have a jungler, CV between the wolves and the blue buff During the lane part, CV on bushes where the enemy team seems to be in disadvantage After you take some towers, use it to prevent fights (see where the enemies are and counterstrike) It needs some practice, but its very useful.[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]I wouldnt CV their pool. Most people are intelligent enough to wait now and not rush off to their lane. If you do CV their well and none of them have left yet you might get to see the famous "well dance" until your CV goes away. If you're doing ranked then it should be AD off tank solo top, jungler jungling, AP mid, AD and support bot... If you're not doing ranked good fucking luck on whatever comps you might get to face.[/quote]

[quote=JEFFY40HANDS]REALLY? <SARCASM[/quote]

[quote=JunSupport]If you don't know where to use it, don't use [[Clairvoyance]]. Play without it and think about map awareness. When you start understanding where the enemy might be, and where it would be good to have CV to confirm your suspicions or rule out where enemies are lurking, then you can start using it.[/quote]

[quote=Freddy Shopan]@ Jeffy. If they hang around the platform, you can get in position for a team-fight first. Usually, people only hang around if there might be lanes where item choices can play a major role (such as an unorthodox lane change). And as far as what other people have said, it's really all right. You just have to clairvoyance where you think they are going to be (or to facecheck without having to facecheck). Just use your intuition, and you will get better fast. Just make sure it doesn't stay off of cooldown too long is someone is mia.[/quote]
