I sometimes hate asking someone in lane if they are okay or they need a gank, knowing they have to stop to type back. Same for being in lane, having to stop what I'm doing to type back.
It doesn't even have to be a smart ping. It could just be a button you press and it pings yourself to say the message.

Valderis Vandala1 votesWhy would you need to ask if they need help? Can't you see if they need help by using the map? Can't you see your team struggling by their health bars, KDA ratio, positions of the enemy?
Honest questions, not trying to be a smart-ass here, I'm not a jungler and still a bit of a noobie so I have no idea.

You can see the state of the match/lane, but you can't really see if someone wants your help. Different people can handle different situation, not to mention everyone reacts to intervention differently; some people even get mad at ganks that work flawlessly if they didn't ask for it. It's just kind of how working with people is, especially if you don't know them well.
Asking how someone feels about their lane is just nice, and even if you don't end up ganking for them, as a laner I can attest that it helps to know they're watching your back
Valderis Vandala1 votesI see, thank you.
Rand0mH3r0X1 votesIt would be like WoT where people only use "Affirmitive" to piggyback and like what someone else said. Nobody ever uses those call-outs correctly so I prefer NOT to complicate the process. What the most widely used terms were in LoL have been turned into pings. mia, help! gank top, omw, etc.. Nobody says, "Affirmative" in in-game chat.
