Just to make it clear, i think the phreak comment was stupid with how you should type something out instead of pinging.
But seriously, pinging in the game has gotten so unhelpful to the point that a lot of people straight up recommend muting everyone at the start of the game, i feel like spam pinging is used way more as a way of being toxic rather than communicating something, im not even sure what point requires pinging 5 or more times rather than 3. Hell, if people stop using pings in a malicious way maybe less people will mute all or recommend muting all at the start of every game.
All the most toxic twitter and reddit users coming forward to say they hate the update kinda feels more like it justifies how good the update is rather than bad aswell.
DeepLOL allows you to see pings in a game, if you check any high elo jungler they have triple the pings of their teammates on average. When you are expected to shotcall 90% of plays for your team, you’re going to want to ping things multiple times. Most people don’t register all pings off of one ping. If I ping on the way once, it means I’m looking for a play in your lane, i might commit, I might not. if I ping 3x it means “I’m so strong here, there’s no way we lose, I’m forcing this no matter what.”
Where exactly can you see this on DeepLOL?
