So I was browsing the web and I found this. PLEASE PLASE PLEASE DO THIS RIOT, WE NEED THIS.

DO IT. JUST DO IT

EDIT: AFTER BEING BLOWN AWAY BY THIS RESPONSE, I TOO AGREE WITH MOST OF YOU. FOR ME, A WARDED PING WOULD BE SUFFICIENT. SORRY FOR CAPS, NOT SHOUTING, JUST TOO LAZY TO REMOVE IT.

AGAIN, I AGREE, WARDED IS ENOUGH, now please dont rage me into damnation lol.

Thanx for your feedback! :D

The ult up in isn't needed anymore and I think that 8 slices of a pizza makes the slices too thin to use them quickly. I'll probably find myself accidentally using the ping next to the one I wanted. I think 6 would be reasonable, though. I'd really like to see the 'Warded' ping. Currently, you have to use a ping meant for something else and then say "warded" and hope that your team understands what you meant. Enemy CDs can easily be said in chat, but I guess it would be useful for those with chat restriction. But how are you going to make clear whether you're talking about flash, heal, exhaust, tp, etc.

In the current meta, a ping for "enemy flash down" would be incredibly useful. But it's kind of weird to have this ping for just 1 summoner because in theory they're all equal (however, Riot has already stated that they're fine with the current meta where flash is taken 9/10 times.)

I def want more pings, but not in the form of an 8 ping window.

How bout V brings up one window and G brings up the other?

The only REALLY necessary one for me is 'Warded'. God I need that. The other ones aren't a huge necessity.

Personally, I find the ping system absolutely useless, the only thing I really find the ping system useful for is calling attention of a key target in the game otherwise I personally feel the ping system is absolutely too damn slow, it doesn't give specific details for example pings vs voice.

"Im on my way by a jungler" by default means you can make a play within "3 seconds" on my terms best way to do it, however a lot of players ping this and waste time for 20+ seconds which is not acceptable.

. Meanwhile on voice comms a player can say in 15 seconds im going mid, or call out a specific tactic rather than type it in chat.

The problem of course with adding voice to League not talking about curse voice is the toxicity of how players will abuse it.

Other things like key functions I should not have to left click or hold down anything I should simply be able to bind a ping to my keyboard, and click the key at location of mouse on map or on screen without having to click more than once.

This is why in general I do not use the ping system I find pings annoying its too slow for my tastes.\

I do agree with adding new pings, but please make them so i can just press 1 key on key board to issue a ping at mouse location.

I think the idea is good, but i wouldn't split the quarter strike regions more than 4. Instead I'd extend other options to the outside of the original 4. That way you can make small swipes for the normal pings, and long swipes for additional information

6 would be nice... but from my experience in dota2, having 8 expressions on the ping wheel just causes mis-pings more than anything.

Azure Hamster9/9/2015, 2:48:10 AM1 votes

Too much detail on the wheel. Doubt it would actually be playable at high speed.

The ping system is fine the way it is

DYN Dainank9/9/2015, 12:08:21 PM1 votes

A ward ping would suffice, and adding 1 more section is still doable...

This is amazing...Id personally replace "ult up in" since we have those timers now, with a "Good Job" ping. so we can uplift our brothers in arms when they do good stuff without accidently flashing (^_^)

Bruh, i typical use the wrong ping with only 4 of them. I can't control a 15 wheel 2 page ping system.

There needs to be a "back away from my farm!" Pinging "danger/Be careful" to ask the jungler to leave your lane can send mixed messages.

I perfair smart ping like in Heroes of the storm (the champ said "We most protect this fort" or " let get this merc champ") It really help the know what the ping meen whitout looking at the map in a fight Best ping go to heroes of the strom, Best comunication go to smite.
