Bring back the smart Ping Button

I am a constant player of league and when I first started to play on the new HUD I have noticed something. Riot for what seems no reason removed the smart ping button that was on the mini map. Now I do not know how much this bothers other players but for me it bothers me a lot. I used the button a lot and I found it quite easier than using the short cuts to ping on my keyboard. I see no reason on why it has been removed and I would like to think that it wouldn't be that hard to add the buttons back into the game and if they were to be added again would like them to be on the mini map again. If others have noticed this please help me in bringing back the smart ping buttons.

Absolutely! How are new players supposed to figure out how to ping unless they go through all the keyboard mappings!?

...because the ping wheel is much faster and easier to use. Smart ping button was trash in comparison and no one used it.

Well then there is something wrong with how you play this game, if you really think it's somehow easier to first move your cursor to the minimap area, click the ping-icon and then move the cursor back to where you want to ping and release the mouse button... instead of pressing ONE SINGLE BUTTON on your keyboard or your mouse (depending where you bind it) and you don't even need to move your cursor anywhere like you have to with your method.

Not to mention that the one key will provide the whole menu for all the pings.
