Replace the fall back or danger ping with a "this is warded" ping
I feel like the fall back and danger pings essentially accomplish the same thing. I'd much rather have a "warded" ping so I don't have to ping and then type in chat "this is warded"

Just add this as an addition ping. The other 4 are all useful. I do agree there should be a warded/ward this ping.
Fall back, means literally leave there Danger, means its dangerous but dont neccesarily fall back
There is a difference, though it is a small one. I at least see fall back as "Don't do the thing" and danger as "Don't do the thing or you will die". Plus, fallback takes slightly less time to do than danger. Warded ping should be a separate ping, as it would be extremely useful.
This has been suggested before, and should be implemented. The warning and caution ping are functionaly the same thing. Not like when i see the caution go off i'm like "well, it's not the danger ping, prob just letting me know my pizza is done, not that a gank is coming"
I rarely use the danger ping, and I usually use the fall back ping for the same thing you'd use danger for... I dunno.
this would be amazing to have i always wanted one
They're not interchangeable. Fall back means it's time to go. Danger means be aware of this threat. I would like a "this is warded" ping though.
So you mean during a giant teamfight & my team is at a disadvantage, I have to ping my teammates "This is warded"?
thinking back to the many times i had to ping the map and type "ward", it would be a good idea. but i like all the current ping options.....
I never use yellow ping. Honestly I don't see the point of having two. Regardless of which someone uses on me, I'm going to back away or leave the area immediately when I am pinged. I find red is the louder of the two and catches attention faster.
Idea: Move "danger" to V like "fall back". Drag mouse to the left/right for "danger", and right/left for "fall back". Then put "warded" where "danger" was.
I agree. And then if we press v and click a champion, it still says "stay away from this champion"
please add or we quit
I support this completely.
Question: Would the "This is Warded" ping have an eye design? That'd be cool.
I honestly hate the sound that the red one makes, and I can;t understand why anyone would use it over using the yellow/"V" ping.
I would love this. It'd be nice to have a "Ward that" ping and an "Enemy ward" ping.
I think replace the Danger! with This is warded! because if you use the fall back ping (V) on the ground instead of on the champ it says danger.
idk i feel like danger shud be more of an "enemy present" ping. Either that or just make customizable pings. Like have a wheel you can add different pings to.
too many people just spam out pings that i no longer listen to them. I swear to god the amount of times ive been brawling someone and a ping will appear next to us and completely distract me long enough for him to over take me. this is why i no longer pay attention to pings for the most part because they are flawed if coming from bad players who have no clue how to play. Maybe i will listen to them again when my mmr goes to high gold/ low plat again but even then they still aren't always the smartest..
I also think that the "this is warded" ping should hang around for while so that people can look away and then come back to sweep it later. Maybe like 20-30 sec? Only two pings down at a time.
In fact it'd be really cool if you could do it like minesweeper and show how long you think the ward will last... ok I know that would be horribly abusable but I'd love it.
id gladly replace all of my pinging options with "RUN THE FK AWAY YOU MORON" ping
What if you ping "this is warded" and it creates a little AOE circle on your minimap that the placer can delete and that their teammates can toggle on/off?
Danger pings are rarely/never used.

They can have another set of four pings if they make it so you can press and hold another key like shift while using smart ping.
I use both "Danger" and "Fall Back" too much to lose either, and they communicate different things as far as I'm concerned. However, I do wish there was a "this is warded" ping. It would be very useful, and I'm tired of having to type it into chat when I should be moving and doing things.
I just don't want to lose any other ping for it.

I've thought this for so long.
I think the number of people stating what they think that "Fall back" and "Danger" mean and that there is no real consensus indicates that no, they really don't communicate different things, regardless of how the user intended the message to be received.
I never use the fall back and danger ping interchangeably. I use the danger ping to indicate ward locations as well as enemy positions. I use the fall back on my team when I think we need to stop a siege, or when somebody us getting ganked/flanked.
Tldr: retreat on my team, danger on enemy team.
I'd like that so I can call out ward locations as right now I use the danger ping to do so
Add it as a new ping. I use the danger ping when i know an enemy is roaming in an unwarded area of the map and the fall back ping when me or my teammates are out of mana or low health and we cant procede
