Players should have the option to ping "Need Vision"

So my thought is... we have the "Enemy Has Vision here" ping, however when you're in solo queue and you find yourself in a situation where you no longer have wards to place you should have a "Need Vision" ping so you could point out objectives that need warding or good ward spots to your teammates. it would solve Riot's problem of lower ranks not warding enough if you could help your fellow players remember by pinging. if you do manage to get around to putting it in (because i know riot has alot on their plates atm with the new patches) you could make it the same as the "Enemy has vision here" ping but then just make it blue and have a different sound.

Thanks for reading Olaf

I'm actually really interested/invested in us creating more pings for players to use. When we made the "enemy vision here ping", we talked a bit about whether we could/should make more, but given the tech limitations (couldn't swap out pings on the ping wheel), I opted instead to just do the highest use case one (that the bush has a ward in it to warn your teammates). With the emotes wheel tech being complete, I'm hopeful that we'll actually be able to do stuff like this in the near future with some sort of configurable ping wheel (or maybe even a second one?). Your specific idea also came up in the dev corner post I made last december looking for dope ideas for 2018 (https://boards.na.leagueoflegends.com/en/c/developer-corner/aG96Psz9-featureqol-changeidea-generator-for-2018-and-beyond?sort_type=best&comment=0030), so it's obvious that the demand is there.

I'd love for us to be able to expand this beyond adding the "need vision here" ping, so here's an open question for all you folks reading this. Assume that you were in a game and had neither voice comms, or the ability to type. What are the most useful ping additions you think would be valuable for helping you coordinate with a team?

Ping Pitch: The "shit nvm" ping

Use case: I just pinged that my enemy laner was mia, but then they came back into the lane out of fog of war. I'd love to be able to ping "nvm" or erase the initial ping to let my team know that there's no imminent threat.

I, for one, would highly appreciate this ping. As a support, I'm constantly warding, and if I run out, I'd love to be able to let the adc know where there should be one and get that info to them as quickly and as efficiently as I can.

+1 to the idea

i also think the fact we can see vision score is stupid... i dont care what my adc vision score is i want to know if his ward is on cooldown.

I would love to be able to ping this on people's corpses when they die wandering into an area with no vision.

Yes please.

Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet, but I frequently wish there was a "Enemy does NOT have vision here" ping, so I can inform my jungler about safe paths for ganking.

I used to just ping that I didn't have wards then normal ping a bush, wish we could have number of pings back

It would be really neat to have a "Jungler Spotted" ping of some sort.

Ping his blue with it, Jungle started blue. See him bot side, top, etc. The ability to ping out where their jungler currently is on the map.
