Misusing Pings
This is more of a vent post, but I'm getting really irritated at the players who misuse pings.
I'm not talking about players who forget to ping, I'm talking about the ones who use MIA pings to spam "???" on their teammates for whatever reason. This is distracting and annoying to every player on the team, and I really wish people would stop.
It's hard enough since you can't mute pings from players who spam them without resorting to turning your volume off, and I know full well this can't be monitored. It shouldn't have to be really. I just wish those certain players would use them for their intended purposes, and not for spamming/toxic reasons. I get that sometimes a premade of friends like to troll each other with pings, but this shouldn't be used as such towards strangers, or for the wrong reasons. Just be polite and use them for their intended purposes: non-verbal communication.
If you ping MIA, I am automatically assuming an enemy champion is missing from sight in that general area you pinged. Don't use it for spamming your teammates because they didn't go in on something or for whatever reason you can come up with. Just don't do it. Use it for an actual MIA, just like you're supposed to use "!" for an actual warning or danger. I don't care how much you ping (though pinging 5-6 times does get annoying), I just care if you're using them correctly.
Unfortunately nothing can really be done about this (as far as I know), so I hope this eventually stops on its own :/
