Make pings great again!
Pings are for commutation with your team. More often than not they are used to flame your team. Worse than that the over saturation of junk pings mean many people ignore or mute pings, this causing bad plays, leading to more spam mia pings. As a team game these pings are important and it would be good for the community to get them working as intended. Here are a few suggestions. Post yours or disagree with mine below.
-
change the icon of the mia ping to something that isn’t a question mark. I’d go for a unique shape and color that stood out vs normal pings perhaps persisting for a few extra seconds.
-
limit the amount of identical pings to two or three in a row.
-
for the folks that struggle to glance at the map; we could put small color coded arrows on the border of their screen to indicate the direction of a friendly ping. This way your tunnel vision bottom lane will see your warnings about the roaming mid laner.
There is no way to achieve perfection communicating with pings but these would help!
