@Riot, Pings

I'm going to share with you a gem of an idea today Riot.

I know you guys are looking at pings so I felt this was a perfect time to share this. Solo Q is not an organized team game. We can all agree on this. We do our best to get everyone on the team on the same page without the help of audio via text and pings. If audio is not an option for solo Q then pings should be a little smarter and a little more vocal. Additionally, the game is always evolving and pings need to be managed on a more regular basis than once every 3 years. Here are my suggestions.

First, we need more vocal pings that communicate things we are trying to do and who is trying to do it. There is plenty of action to keep track of visually that making some pings vocal is way more helpful to the unorganized team. Things like "Twitch is on his way" or "Help take bot tower" or "Group here for a team fight" or "Lets take Baron" or "Lets setup for dragon" could and should be pings. These type of pings make it so I don't have to take my hands or eyes off the action and I can still clearly understand the objective.

I wonder if it would be possible to have the user customize some pings by providing only certain words for the user to input in pre-game pings. For example, "Baron", "Dragon", "Tower", "Group", "Help", "Bot", "Middle", "Top", "Jungle", "Team", "Fight", "Bait", can all be words that the user can input with little room for abuse.

The second thing is that things are always evolving so pings, which are really important to this game without voice chat, should be looked at more frequently as things in the game are updated or other play styles evolve.

This idea is too good not to implement Riot.
