Gameplay Tip of the Week
Towers do not have full vision during night time but it has full attack range, so if you stand just on the edge of it's range (hold Alt to see it!) you can check if the enemy has a ward nearby. This is especially useful during the night before the bounty runes spawn.

Patch 7.36c
