Rant About Ping Spamming
I think this is an issue that really needs to be addressed. Now, this involves the ping system that we use to communicate with our teams. Like most of us are aware, we have four pings that can be used (excluding the original pings). They are danger, on my way, assist me, and enemy missing. I think this is a great system, but I noticed something flawed with the enemy missing sign. Half of the time, it's not even used properly. Signaling that someone is missing should be when your lane opponent isn't in lane or when the enemies aren't where you expect them to be. Most of the time, I see it being used as a way to tell your team mates "what the fuck are you doing?", "why the hell are you over there?", "why aren't you helping me?". This has become a habit for a lot of league players, and this isn't the way it's supposed to be used. Look at the fucking text for the ping. There's a question mark that says ENEMIES are missing. It mentions NOTHING about your allies, so ping spamming your team mates with it is fucking pointless. Yet, people do this to as a way to rage at their team mates every fucking day. Constantly using the missing ping on your team mates is the equivalent of being toxic. As a jungle main, nothing tilts me more than a salty laner who gets solo killed and proceeds to ping spam me when I'm on the opposite side of the map. I don't give a fuck about flame because you can always mute. You can't avoid pings though because they're a vital part of the game. I think riot should add a report section for someone who is incorrectly or unnecessarily spamming pings. They can also add a new ping that says "ally is missing". I don't know; They're just some ideas off the top of my head. Thoughts on this?
