WARDS
Why are they important?
Wards can save you from ganks or bring you the opportunity to gank someone that is off position. You should always buy wards and ward critical areas.

I'm a carry and don't want to waste money on wards!
That is the most common error players make. You should buy wards no matter what role you play. Don't put everything on your support. he is much more limited than you in tearms of gold. If you get killed from a gank and you didn't have a ward that is entirely your fault. Don't blame the others.
But I lose so much gold if I buy them and I need gold!

Sight ward costs 75 gold. You need to kill 4 melee minions in the first wave to earn gold for it. Now that you look at it like that, it's not that much. If you still think it's much, then try to do the math and see how much gold you lose after you get killed from a gank. Not only you lose gold, but you also give lane dominance and free farm to your enemy.
But support should buy them!
Yes he should, but he can't be on every lane. So you gotta take care of your own. Even if you play as an AD carry, buy a ward and make life easier for your support and yourself.
You sure it's very improtant?

One of the most important things in this game is map control/vision. If you don't have that, you or someone from your team will probably get caught off position and die thus bringing your team to a very bad position.
Always buy wards.
If you don't have map vision you are gonna lose control over your buffs, dragon and baron and give enemies that way a big advantage. Don't give them free wins. Buy wards!

I numbered some crucial spots on the map as far as i'm concerned. So let me give you a brief description.
Wards 1 - 8 -> Bot wards
Ward 1 is to be aware of the enemy jungler no matter what side you play on.
Ward 2 is usually a pink ward placed on that spot so i can see enemy wards placed on the spot 2 or 5.
Ward 3 is in case they have a camping support like Blitz, Leona or Alistar.
Ward 4 is in case they have a camping support like Blitz, Leona or Alistar.
Ward 5 is my favorte spot since it gives me an early look on the jungle/mid enemy coming while i still have vision of enemies coming trough my jungle in the river.
Ward 6 is a dragon ward. let's you stop enemy from doing dragon, or see him when going bot or mid
Wards 7 and 8 are placed when you see their jungler at top. Use that oportunity to ward their blue or red depending on which side are you on. Also ward8 is used if the enemy jungler counterjungles.
Wards 9 - 15-> Mid wards
Wards 9,10 and 11 are placed a bit far so you can get vision on enemies on bigger distance, since some will you their skills to get through your firs bush next to lane unoticed. Like Shaco with decieve. That's why i rarely ward that bush unless I know they camp there. Good positions no matter the side you play on.
Wards 12 and 13 are there for the same reason as 9,10 and 11.
Ward 14 is a baron ward. It can give you advantage if you see the enemy team doing baron unaware of your ward or simply to see their jungler coming earlier or trying to get that blue buff.
Ward 15 is a buff ward placed there in order to stop the counterjungling or to have vision on roaming enemies if your towers are pushed.
Wards 16 - 19->Top wards
Ward 16 is placed there when your tower is down and you wanna farm that top or incase their jungler is camping ther in order to kill you under your tower.
Wards 17, 18 and 19 are basicly the same as 1,2 and 5 from the bot lane.
Wards 20 - 23->Tactic wards
Ward 20 is placed either by top or mid when they see enemy jungler bot and if no lanes are missing. You want to prevent someone from stealing your buff if you are on the pink side or to be able to steal that buff and eventually kill their jungler if you are on the blue side.
Ward 21 is more of a mid to late game ward that let's you catch enemies off position or to stop them from camping there.
Ward 22 Is placed there if your mid tower is pushed and you wanna have vision there since in most cases enemies come from there trying to catch someone facecheking. In some cases you can nuke them while they camp that bush unaware of your ward.
Ward 23 is the pink side ward. I find that position very useful cause it gives you nice vision on enemies trying to gank you from your jungler or from the river.
VERY IMPORTANT!
Do not facecheck! Ever! You either use skills to check a bush or place a ward. One bad facecheck can lead your team to a defeat. Don't go on suspicious places when you don't know where the enemy team is. Go back and buy wards. You always have money for wards.
If you don't have map vision you are gonna lose control over your buffs, dragon and baron and give enemies that way a big advantage. Don't give them free wins. Buy wards!
