[GAMEPLAY] Bug(?) with new cooldown pings & certain champion abilities

Just wanted to point out something I found with the new cooldown pings.

They're super useful! But when I was playing Katarina the other day, I wasn't able to ping that my ultimate was ready. I went into some customs and found the same thing, but I figured it out. I was able to ping it when it was on cooldown or if I was in range of using it, but if it was ready and I wasn't in range I couldn't. I tried the same on Morgana since she has the same thing with her ulti (needing to be in range before it can be activated) and it worked the same way. With alt + click I could ping everything else, could ping when my ultimate was on cooldown, but only ping that it was ready when in range of using it.

I'm not entirely sure that this is a bug buuuuut it seems kind of less effective if you have to be in the middle of the enemy team before you can tell your own team that your ultimate is ready. I tried to get a recording but it didn't go so well, but it's easily testable and was the same each time I tried it.

Katarina Guys, I just meant o ping you that I have ult... PENTAKILL Katarina Nevermind it's on CD again

On a serious note, even when out of cooldown, the spell isn't technically ready as you can't use it. Some little hole they didn't notice and cure by either making special line "Out of Cooldown" instead of ready, or more usefully, changing the code so that it considers unusable ability "Ready" If it's out of cooldown.

Very useful explanation, upvote so that Riot notices.
