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.

    I’ll just give a few common scenarios:

    1. Mage mid vs talon/Kat, spam ping enemy missing and be careful on the lane Kat is going to.

    2. Bot fighting and trying to dive but you know enemy jgler is about to go there because you saw him, spam ping bot don’t dive, back off, ping enemy jgler too.

    3. second drake and team wants to contest but your toplaner is top and their isn’t, for your team the ping spammed is back off runnnnn, for enemy team they probably have their top laner spam pinging engage take drake whatever.

    4. You died 1v1 too but your wave is fked, you can try to ping jgler to push it if they are around. ( same thing during a gank or dove, jgler might spam ping push and spam ping all in after ). The spam pinging mostly to ensure we commit and don’t waste time to allow enemy jgler to come in time.

    5. Any late game team fight setup, whether it is to push waves first, ping flank angles, ping cool-downs, ping on my ways to wait, ping back off when cool-downs are off etc
