Dear Riots,
Like muting someone by clicking the box on the tab, can you also block someone from pinging? I hate players who keep pinging which does not help but make me unfocus My ears go nuts when I hear spamming pings Please adjust the problem
I think we need a middle option. If I can mute someone's pings, it prevents them from communicating with me even if they actually want to.
In a game that's rooted in teamwork, I don't think that's a good idea. IMO, it sends the wrong message: "It's OK to refuse to communicate with someone if they're toxic."
The message I think we should be sending is, "If someone is toxic, you don't have to expose yourself to that toxicity, AND you should be the bigger person and continue to play the right way, which includes working with that person."
#Solution: I think when you mute someone, it should reduce the amount of pings they can send you (to one every 3 seconds, or something like that). If they're pinging constructively, that's plenty. If you're trying to abuse the ping system, it's not enough (especially, because it's pretty easy to build a system that detects if somebody is pinging every 3 seconds non-stop and increase the time they have in between pings).

As a separate option to muting chat, I'll be for it.
Turn your sound off. What else would you have the volume on for other than pings? To hear Lux squeal before she ults you? Unless you're listening to music, then I would go to your audio settings and just turn league down.
Muting the ping for the 1 in 100 game player who spam it (and it's kinda rare) is not a good idea at all. The game need these quick tools to communicate with the team (even more when you mute a toxic one), get rid of it it's just pushing the player in the "refuse to communicate with the team" zone
