QoL: can we ping passives?

FOR JUSTICE··44 votes·1,378 views

I know certain ones like draven auto ping when I reach a certain amount of adoration, but in the case of say, annie, it'd be nice to ping when pyromania is up :/

edit: or how about kindred, so I can let my laner know I have to KS them?

Agreed. Would love to be able to ping that my passive is charged on Ahri, so that I can actually heal on the wave before my Sivir takes it all.

Every time I ping Kayn's passive only to tell my team I'm alive.

And I feel like it shouldn't say "Passive - Ready"

It should say "Pyromania - Ready" Or "Package - ready"

And you actually can already ping passives, but it's super inconsistent across champions.

If you ping corki passive it says "Passive ready" but if you ping kayn passive, it just says "Kayn- alive"

In should also list the current stack or cooldown if it is not up

This would be a fantastic thing to have on Yorick,and would be very nice on Sona as well

It's funny cuz, on one hand being able to ping passives would be hella useful for a large percentage of champions, but on the other hand you happen to use a really bad example. The entire purpose of the bar under her HP bar is to show her passive, alike Jhin's ammo count.

And besides, being able to ping passive stuffs is so important that I'm more than sure that Riot's currently implementing it as we type.

the example is terrible, but at least yall get the gist... right? XD

For Annie there's already the counter on the bottom of your HP bar that shows how many stack you have.

For Draven it's a global thing to show how much stack he has so enemy can shut him down.

I can already ping passives on my own champ????

Yeah , or a way to show how much far Kayn is to his passive

Zilean and Azir can do this, I believe. I think most champions whose passive doesn't have an obvious 'ready' signal (Annie, Sona, etc) can.

Can we please also ping stacks and things that appear in the buff/debuff bar?

I want to ping my 1000 nasus stacks.

EKyonKun (Annie): Pyromania - 0/4

EKyonKun (Annie): Pyromania - 3/4

EKyonKun (Annie): Pyromania - Ready

I prefer this to something that's just "Ready / Not Ready"

idk about anyone else but i can clearly see annie's passive under her healthbar. regardless adding it wouldn't hurt a soul

Another example: I'd appreciate it on Zyra, it would help my team to realize when I'm going to leave a bush (for engage purposes) (seeds spawn only if Zyra is not standing in the bush so she can ambush enemies). I always wait if Garden of Thorns is about to come out of cooldown so I have as many plants as possible and can use skillshots accordingly (just Zyra main things). How many times did I try to ping that just to realize I can't...

This is actually a great idea, Id like to able to ping Viegars passive. it's not extremely necessary, but from time to time my own team mates under estimate me and id like to be able to reinforce their trust

You don't need to get the kill to get a stack of Kindred, an assist works as well.
