Why is map visibility so important? And how does a AP mid Factor in to it?

Question

I have noticed that a few different commentaries they say that the reason a team lost their match up was because they didn't have enough visibility of the map. Is it truly that important to see the whole map?

So what is my role in keeping the map visible as an AP mid? Would I buy wards or would I let others buy them and put them up?

Apply it to real world and you'll immediately see the benefits of map visibility. How well would we be equipped for war without radars? How valuable is stealth warfare etc?

Being able to sneak up on opponents is too strong of advantage to let any team have for free. Wards allow you to prepare for incoming ganks, to move quickly on map objectives, and even for some champions provides as a way for escapes.

The most obvious understanding of this comes to bottom lane. As a support, your job is to let you carry farm as much as humanly possible without being interrupted. Wards allow you to watch for incoming jungle ganks, roamers, etc.

Seeing the map just allows you to do/access/defend/attack safer, smarter, more efficiently.
