Hiya, just a daily reminder that theres NO MUTE option on teammate PINGS

I get where you're coming from, believe me I do, But I also want to mute those people who literalyl question mark you when you're in the middle of something, and basically theyre doing it because you muted their blind rage, because they're basically flaming you, but like... you get a tower and a double kill in a short amount of time and they keep pinging you because in that time they got caught out in enemy jungle, and then they just ping the entire match

This happens

then theres people who ping simply to annoy

I understand that there needs to be some way to allow the chat muted (via chat-ban or personal mutes) to communicate, but there is no need for us to have to suffer a ping spammer in the team. The spam is not communicating, it is just harassment that makes teamwork more difficult by hiding the valuable pings from other team mates.

Therefore the ping mute should only be available if the pinger has hit some number of pings per minute limit or something like that. After he does, his teammates should be able to mute & hide his pings if we wish. Ping spam harassment must stop.

I understand and agree with that, but if one of your teammates abuses a form of communication to act like a degenerate, they should lose the right to that communication

Heroes of the storm would like to have a word with you.

At this point its somewhat daily, but, you can't mute pings because there must be a baseline of communication, in a team game.

I agree with this.

I also believe that the system needs to flag people who "run out of pings" a certain number of times in a match and auto report them for a case against hem. You know if you issue like 5 pings in rapid succession that you cant ping again for like 20 seconds. Players that hit their limit twice per minute for 5 minutes are clearly harassing people. Bonus points if the system can track them pinging ? and ! pings in the vicinity of the same allied player over and over to hit their ping limit.

I dont think all communication types should be ignorable... like it or not this is a game with other people in it; play something else if you refuse to acknowledge others at all. That said, how about let us mute the pings of someone who has hit their ping limit 6 times. Theyre clearly over pinging to the point of rapid spam, probably trying to annoy others with BM ? pings.

Yeah they could slow their roll on pings to avoid hitting the limit, but then it would be less distracting than the typical spam we have now. Its a potential compromise.

THIS

CAUSE THE OTHER **GOOD **TEAMMATES HAVE TO BE PUNISHED TOO AMIRIGHT?

I type /mute all every game

but it doesn't mute pings my dude

Or just let us report ping
