I understand that we aren't going to get back the old HUD no matter how badly it sucks, but can we at least get back the two ping buttons that sat on top of the mini-map? I found it more convenient to use and it is seriously impacting my communication skills with my team. It doesn't take much to put them back, so can we please have them back? Or at least get a reason why they were removed?

No, it's not.

Because NOBODY used them, and those who did were playing this game wrong.

There was no reason whatsoever to use those icons to begin with, when you can have ONE hotkey that you hold pressed down and get the full radial/circle menu of ALL the pings.

Pretty sure hitting G makes your life easier.

I'm sure they are in the new HUD. Did you try looking for little tabs you could drag out from behind things? Maybe a very tiny button somewhere?

Wait... Are there actually people who didn't know how to use hotkeys for pings? Wow.

If you can't find it in this post, it's not on the HUD.

Honestly, I have no idea how to ping now. I always used those buttons.

They were removed because they were redundant.

EDIT: "Can customize the Hud?" "We'll provide customization in order to solve specific problems (such as accessibility) or in service of gameplay (I want stats or I’d like to see more of the game space). This helps ensure a level playing field which a competitive game like League of Legends should always have while allowing for some meaningful flexibility."

Taken from the anouncement.
