Vision is important!

In the game of DoTA2, "Vision" is really really important because you can observe what the enemies are doing right at that moment.

Vision can be granted by many methods
-Hero vision
-Creeps vision
-Some hero abilities

and the most effective way to find vision is by using "Observer Ward"

An observer ward is an item that can be placed on the ground and it will grant the vision around them.
Enemies cannot detect the observer ward unless they carry gem of true sight or planting the sentry ward near them

You should consider where to plant the observer ward based on the play style of your team. If your team is an offensive team you should try to go into enemies' jungle and plant the ward there and plan an ambush on them but if, on the other hand, your team is a defensive team. Try to plant the ward around your team jungle and enemies will hardly kill your team
