New Ping: Enemy Ults

Selkraps··5 votes·2,641 views

With the addition of the vision ping (amazing addition), I think it would also be hugely beneficial if there was a way to ping enemy Ults in the same fashion that we currently can ping enemy summoners.

It would allow us to communicate in a much more clear way and make it stand out in the chat box with the different colors that are used for the text (like pinging enemy sums).

It would be an awesome addition to see for preseason.

Thanks!

Its a good thought, can't do any harm, and can only do good,

The only problem I would see is 1. Retards in low elo pinging someone ulted when they really didnt 2. Them not knowing how to use the information and catchup/zone that player

  1. It's mainly said that low elo don't use pings "anyway". And even if, they do wrong they could just said "enemy ult" when they didn't too.
  2. So... You can alreayd ping enemy SS yet they can't make use of it most of the time am I right?

Yes but I am confused over your question.

You didn't have to answer it. i'm just stating that it's not because it's a possibility that they're going to abuse it (or use it incorrectly). Just like sometimes you think someone used a Summ but you're not sure

Ah okay, I dont think anyone is going to abuse it and they may have used a sum , but what Im saying is thats where it could be a problem. So lets say you think fiora or zed or someone used their ult (or YASUO) and you mention it, your jungler comes in, and you guys both die.

The game has enough pings in it already, learn how to retain information on your own like the days when you had to track everything yourself.

The point is that you can communicate vital ganking information to your jungler with a click or two, instead of having to go out of your way to type. Vision, summs and ults are the main info to give. We just need the 3rd.

Just typing "(role) no ult" legit takes a second or 2, a ping for that is not needed.

I don't really see it being harmful. It can't be any different than pinging sums. Same issue can be said if enemy doesn't flash but your laner pings the flash. It's just an easier way to communicate when cooldowns are used for better roams/ganks.

I personally think the different text color makes it stand out and highlights it. Sure it can be done without it, I mean that's what we're all doing now. Just my 2 cents.

I personally use the "Vision" ping a decent amount since it was introduced and I noticed that people notice those areas a lot more and clear wards or stay clear of that area.

It would mainly be up to you to keep track of the cooldown itself but would let you know if the ability is available or not - same way we ping sums right now

Just the ability to be able to alt+click the ability to let your team know it's on cooldown would be a huge help. Same way we call summs now
