Notes:
- Places the currently highlighted ward.
- ↓↓ Double-tapping automatically switches its state.
- Switching does not count as casting an ability, so it does not cancel any current order, including channeling abilities, nor does it break invisibility.
- Switching does not trigger its cooldown.
- Cannot be placed inside the fountain area (including a small area in front of the ramp), or in Roshan's pit.
- Ctrl allows the owner to give an ally one ward, instead of the whole stack.
- Item is unshareable (Ctrl) with Courier or Spirit Bear.
- The cooldown only triggers upon placing wards. Switching its state does not trigger the cooldown.
