Need a CD timer for sending Pings

There really should be a cool down timer for pings as it can be used to grief just as much as typing in chat especially in Ranked. although it dseems worse in normal's at times which is really weird.

I noticed people use repeatedly if the other people don't Jump as soon as they ping alto of the time they are not in desperate need of help either , its usually something like they want to baron or dragoon and no one else wants to at the item or they are just standing in a op empty lane and want to push harder than everyone else is .

Usually the same person will start ranting in chat as well eventually.

Personally Think there should be at least a 10 second cool-down on pings so that people don't abuse them in its way.

**Even in ranked its just a video game played for fun ** there is no reason to get stressed out at your teammates and if you are the type that worry a bout the outcome of it hen really that may be a warning sign you should look at.

If a cool down on pings isn't possible then maybe a new report button for ping spam.

Side note off topic

For the rest of people just trying to have fun LOL is one of the most toxic communities in gaming don't let the bullies affect you

remember

1 riot does NOT enforce a meta so play what very you feel is fun in whatever lane you can get

( no matter anyone says you cant be reported for "not playing meta" no matter what category they try to put it into and trust me they will try to say it fits into many )

2 **mute all is your friend ** use its regularly until riot comes to its senses and just removes chat from all random ques

3 Dont intentionally be disruptive , As long as you don't intentional feed or otherwise try to intentionally disrupt the game all the "im going to report you mean nothing . "unskilled reports " don't really do anything and all the others

If you send too many pings it says you can't ping anymore for a while.

Personally Think there should be at least a 10 second cool-down on pings so that people don't abuse them in its way.

that would suck so bad. I often ping 'an enemy is missing' for multiple lanes when walking back to lane, I often ping paths in which an enemy is likely coming by, I often ping paths that are 'safe escapes' for an ally being chased or about to get caught out. Sometimes I ping a succession like 'Enemies are missing' over botlane 'on my way' over dragon and then 'asking for assistance' over dragon or something similar because I believe other enemies are there. I can't convey that in 1 ping and typing it all would take way too long.

@riot So any red want to state their opinion on the "ping spam" issue?

I only read the title. I agree with the title. Ping spam is too much. Sometimes I can't even see the mini map because of how many pings there are on it. Please fix.

It took about a year of people suggesting it demanding it and complaining about it, to get a volume control for pings. I have it set pretty low since the obnoxious tone hurts my ears.

since you can ping 5 times in rapid succession I Have to have it turned down to almost nothing and mute it the second someone decides to demon ping. If you could only ping once or twice at most I might not have to mute the volume. Though it is nice that I can just mute pings now. I had way to many muted games which lowers your chances of winning because some abilities only tell you they hit something with a sound.

Something as simple as a volume slider took about a year to get...

mute the ping sounds, works wonders
