Can we all take a second to appreciate ping mute

It's almost literally as if god himself handed this wonderful and extremely long overdue feature. I never knew how much wonderful noises and effects and ambient music was in this game since I've had to play without sound since Riot introduced the smart ping system, however long ago that was. Rest assured I won't be throwing games for stupid pings anymore.

I love it too. I get so much less distracted while playing and it feels like a feature riot should have added this SO LONG AGO. I've been wanting this since smart pings came out.

Thank you Riot for this. This is perhaps the best change for me you could have done.

Yeah I kind of did an overstatement but whatever.

next why dont they make an option so that you can make your teammates invisible, so you cannot even see them in game whatsoever. This way you will not be bothered at all and can just do your own thing

It's beautiful, isn't it? Though it was unfortunate that the sound slider started out at 100%. Those retreat pings almost blew my eardrums out...

its so good! I have my ping set at 15% now and it doesn't jar me every time i have a ping spammer! I LOVE IT!

I really think they should give you 4 sliders, one for each of your team mates, then you can keep the most of them at a better level like 70% and just plain out mute that annoying permaPinger that pings 20 times that wraiths are up.

Terrible idea. It's bad enough people ignore pings, now Riot gives them an option to ignore them completely.

Just played two more games. People spam pinged to attack the tower that I was already attacking and I didn't even yell at them or just stop to go farm a jungle camp or something. I walked into 5 of them and my whole team spam pings to retreat and I didn't even turn back just to spite them because those annoying dings are completely gone.

Gratz Riot you've successfully 99% eliminated my toxicity with this one feature. I would argue that this is one of the first things in a long time that you've gotten 100% right.
