[GAMEPLAY] Cannot ping dragon/baron/herald/buff timers in patch 9.3

I believe this started when the new loading screens went live. So for the first few hours of the patch, everything could be pinged fine. But once the new loading screens went live, you are now no longer able to ping buffs/dragon/etc (but you can still ping items).

I asked in chat to make sure it wasn't just me. No one else was able to ping them.

EDIT: Reproduction rate is not 100%. If it happens in your game, it will be 100% for that game, for you. But it won't happen every game. I just played a game where all of us could ping objectives but our mid laner could not.

Please fix this. How else am I going to spam ping the dragon timer???

I think it's only in NA. EU West doesn't seem to have a problem

riot devs think new load screens and bugs that didn't used to exist are a good idea to add into game, instead of nerfing chim tier champions that need nerfs. ooh ooh ee ee aah aah.

I've had the issue every game, but not everyone does (teammates can still ping objectives / buff timers).

Every "Practice Tool" game i open I am able to ping buffs 100%.

I have tried the Client Self Repair, no results. I've also tried Fullscreen vs Fullscreen window. no difference. Changing the setting outside of game/client as well.

As a jungler this is pretty sadface. Hopefully a hotfix soon.

I am having this problem every game, but some people can ping objectives... Any word on a bug fix or patch update for it?

I cant either. I have the exact same problem.

Same issue here. Really really frustrating not being able to ping dragon as jungle. Instead it just does a ! ping where I clicked and ignores the dragon UI.

I encountered this issue when I was in aram. I couldn't ping health relic timers for some reason.

I'm having the same issue as well. Holding Tab + Alt to click on any timer like I've always did before this patch doesn't work in Normal/Ranked games (haven't tried other modes).

It works as intended when in practice tool, but not in custom game too.
