Guess what I'm trying to communicate with these pings!

Situation: it's early game, and as red side bot lane, we pushed in the enemy laners to their tower. We have vision of river bush, but not tribush. I ping "warding totem: 1 charge" I ping "on my way" to the tribush. I ping "requesting assistance" to the tribush. I start moving towards the tribush.

What do you think I meant? Because my ADC apparently thinks it means they should poke them under turret while I go ward.

did you say : go in 1v2 die, then blame support for death? Because that's what I read.

Mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell? I don't think that League is the appropriate time for this type of lesson.

We still don't know what the message was. And poking someone under tower isn't wrong if you are able to safely.

I think they wanted their ADC to accompany them while they warded. Not sure though.

Maybe I should have also pinged missing in enemy jungle, and/or caution ping my ADC.

Pretty much, since you didn't it is partially your fault, but just barely :b

I read: "I'm gonna go ward this bush, hey Jg can we get a gank? Okay I'm going to ward now bye." I would've said: I ping "warding totem: 1 charge" I ping "on my way" to the tribush. I ping "enemies are missing" at the tribush. I ping "be careful" at the Adc. I ping "be careful" at the Adc. I start moving towards the tribush. Or rather: "I'm gonna go ward this bush, we don't know where the enemy jg is, I'm afraid of a gank, please be careful, please please play safe. Okay I'm going to ward now ciao." (As you can see mine is superior, as I used Ciao.)

Alright, I'll do that next time. The Ciao part, I mean.

If his message was Danger, he should use the danger ping.

In the moment, I can understand why he might not keep track of a 4 part message in pings... and poking someone under tower isn't wrong if you are able to safely.

Well, it's more so "we don't know where the jungler is" and not so much "the jungler is coming right now." Danger ping seems inappropriate.

For that, I do the fall back ping on my ADC, then a missing ping in tri, then a on my way ping to tri.

Before I read any other comments, I'm assuming you're asking the ADC to go with you to the ward spot so you don't have to facecheck alone.

That is what I meant!

A. You spotted an enemy on map? and want us to go hit them. (Why not use Danger ping) B. You have one ward and are going to go ward.

I just ping OMW. If my ADC dies during that time it's his own fault.

ADC: "It's MY time now."

I swear whenever I have to support my ADC refuses to even attempt to trade when I'm there, but literally the moment I get more than 1000 units away they start going all-in
