Ping buttons missing from new UI?

Correct me if I am wrong but, don;t see the ping buttons anywhere on the new UI. If they are there and I am blind, disregard this.

Not really a big deal but I would like them back. Ever since I started paying league I always used them to ping, as It's easier for me to move my mouse over and click it then it is to find the G key in the middle of a team fight. On top of that missing the G key and hitting F instead could result in a misflash among other things.

Yeah I know you can reconfigure buttons.

But still for me it was just s much easier to use the ping buttons. Can we have them back?

Agreed. Riot just went " hurr durr we're changing the way you look at the game completely" without acctually listening to the people who PLAY the game ( aka their customers )

They need to bring the ping keys back, you can do everything else with a mouse click, you can level up, use items, recall and even use abilities with the mouse clicks, but for some reason, you can no longer ping to alert your teammates.

The HUD needs to be beginner friendly for people who have never played LoL or a MOBA before. Pinging is a vital part to winning, and beginner players should get to use the buttons above the map instead of pressing a combination of keys on their keyboard.
