Treasure of the red mist

[pilz]

It has a rare called
Strange Modifier: Wards placed

What does that mean? You start with wards on the runes? Can't imagine anything else. You got an idea? Or a source?

[-Misfit-]

No items alter gameplay in any way. They just keep track of how many wards you place over the course of having the item equiped.

[CaLLizeR]

I think it counts how many wards you placed? It's just like strange modifier: kills/victories, it counts how many kills/victories you have

[pilz]

Oh okay

[Blarrg]

No gameplay altering things will be put into Dota2.

All strange modifiers do is add a "level-up" system to your item based off whatever kind you bought.

Using your example, Wards Placed modifier will make your item level up the more you place wards.

It counts how many wards you have placed.
