As a jungler, I mute pings

FortisDominus·Feb 27, 2016·3 votes·532 views

Its annoying to hear your teamates spam assist pings 3 minutes into the game. Believe it or not this simple action tilts me more then anything else. It shows me that you (the laner) are incapable of playing your role and need me to win lane for you because you are already getting destroyed so early in the game. Muting pings also helped me get better map awareness. Now i cant just rely on my teammate to ping me when he needs help with something, instead of i have to watch the map and act accordingly

You mute pings? I rely on pings to understand the urgency of lane aid.

This. The #1 way to get jungler help is not to call them useless or ping before they finish red buff.

It is to:

Ward your own lane as much as possible.
Try to call out enemy wards.
Note enemy summoners or health.

Whenever I lane, I try my best to make the junglers and other roaming champs (mids, supports) have an easier job coming to my lane to help out. That means warding, calling MIA, noting summoners and health, not calling my jungler useless, not spamming pings, etc.

I hate when a player tries to coach my jungling abilities by making biased judgments as to why i should be ganking their lane.... I mean, I'm not barking orders at you or telling you how to play your lane. What irks me the most is when its a casual normals (which is where this hapends the most) and i cant help but call them out on their rank.. Like dood, im a plat 4 jungle main, you are a silver 4 top laner.. Do you honestly think YOU know what i should be doing more than myself? I know people hate the rank card, but i mean cmon.. I play almost entirely jungle and i've climbed way further than "you". >.>

How the fuck do you mute pings? I thought that was impossible...do you mean you mute people who ping?

I went into the settings in game and there is a way to make pings sound louder or softer all the way to the point where you cant hear them. I made this decision a long time ago when my team mate would not stfu with pings.
