I suppose just mute all/mute ping for low elo play

No reason to chat or ping in low elo.

I'll ping to let a lane know where I'm going to head on a gank. About nine times out of ten, they hug tower and dont go after the enemy until I take all the damage. They'll also be the first to be the one complaining that I don't gank, though.

Then some genius in another lane will spam ping me that I'm in danger as I'm fighting. Distraction, and severely unhelpful because I think another enemy might be coming. I'll look, all enemies accounted for. They're just pinging because they don't realize what happened, a gank that turned out to be a potential feed because the laner wouldn't help in any way.

I rarely get any helpful pings, but the game is filled with "Im losing my lane, save me from myself" pings.

The experience is completely different with higher elo people. Still negative usually, but they seem to understand how ganks work, and when they get them.

I'm nowhere near high elo, but I play with friends that are. I seem to do better in those games.
