More Ping Options

I think that there should be more options for pinging. For example, one that I would really like would be one where you can ping the enemy champion's level. People with long range/global ultimates can really change the course of the laning phase with their presence and sometimes, people push up too far or commit to hard in a fight when the enemy can teleport down there or land like a Zigg's ult or something and turn the fight against them. However, this would only be useful for a small portion of the game, so to make it better, maybe you could make a spot where you could ping enemy abilities. This wouldn't say the CD of the enemy's ability of course, instead you would ping it as a guess saying that you THINK its down. This could lead junglers to have better ganks and lead to a better laning phase for the team that communicates more. For example, I'm going to use Ahri's Spirit Rush. Ahri is an absolute pain to gank when she has her ultimate at her disposal, along with her Charm CC and the extra movement speed on her Orb of Deception. If you are laning against her and you make her use her Spirit Rush, instead of wasting time to type it out, you could be using that time to set up another fight or freeze the minion wave, etc... you could let your jungler know that she will be an easy target to gank by simply pressing 'G' (The default ping button) and clicking on the icon for that ability. As for where these icons would be located, I don't really know, maybe when you click a champion and that little box appears in the top left of your screen, it could be under there, but that would get in the way of any shields, buffs and such that the champion currently has. A lot of people may disagree with this idea, but I don't really like having a Twisted Fate constantly teleporting up to Top Lane to gank me when my team didn't even type anything into chat about him reaching level 6. Some may say that I should just have more map awareness, and I agree, that is one my biggest flaws, but sometimes even the best players are too focused on their lane and get surprised by a Long Range/Global Ultimate. Any other ideas for other options for more pings are always welcome.
