Riot, where the heck is that Warded ping?

Before anyone says "it's too noisy, just type it!", TYPING IS EVEN NOISIER!

Riot, stop making us type stuff like "this spot's warded" when typing in-game is considered toxic by pros (outside of GG).

Riot decided it would be easier to make wards less common than it would be to implement a useful ping, and so they nerfed yellow trinket hard and removed stealth wards.

The logical solution.

They nerfed blue trinket vision item thing wanna know why. It was being over used. . . well if you left us with something better than trinket and sightstone that would be cool!

We don't need a "Warded" ping because there aren't any wards on the map anymore

Riot be like:

Stop complaining, there's tons of 3rd party recording systems.

Why should we have to use a third party program for something that was promised years ago, and is wanted by a vast majority of the playerbase?

While there may be programs that allow you to get replays, they're pretty unreliable or they cost money.

It was never promised. Hence my use of the link to a post where Riot specifically states they don't intend to release one.

where is the "summoner no ult/flash" ping? the most useless ping is the "back off from________" it should be replaced for the warded ping first.

it's for low elo like us

I think he means because there's 2 of them. There's the yellow one, and the red one in smart ping that is hardly ever used.

Since when and by who?

LordFluffyJrDec 17, 20151 votes

In higher elo games (Diamond 1+) people don't ping or type really since they know what to do. Everyone is on the same track. If the support and jungler die at the 35 minutes mark in high elo you just watch everyone run to baron without a single ping or message. I think it's because they know the game so well they all think alike. After all, great minds think alike.

SirHeavyScrotumDec 17, 20151 votes

I don't think you actually play in Diamond. Yeah it's less common than in bronze where if the jungler dies during a gank the laner spam back pings his dead body, but people do use them to communicate on the fly. Also idk how much challenger play you watch but most people in challenger know each other so there is usually a couple of guys smack talking back and forth the whole game, because challenger players really don't take the game that seriously.

That quote is actually "Great minds think alike, but fools rarely differ."

Aside from that, I highly doubt that is what happens, generally people will ping shit.

good thing we aren't pros

I use yellow and blue ping.

Don't even think the others are useful.

LordFluffyJrDec 17, 20152 votes

I use on my way a crap load because it is set to a Macro on my gaming mouse. Since i am a support main. If I see our jungler having a rough time in his jungle I ping I am on my way 2 or 3 times very quickly. It usually helps.

I have a razor naga epic. I have all 6 of the types of pings set to my mouse. I only really use two of them.

I think a ping for "Warded" would be awesome. I also want a "Gank" ping. I know you are going to say the assist ping is the "gank" ping but there are a lot of times you want your jungler or other laner to come in from behind the turret to help assist you, then there are other times you want the jungler to come in behind to gank. If you are out of mana or low on life, you don't want the jungler to come down and gank and having an "assist" and a "gank" ping would let you indicate what you need.

Just set a macro keybind [THIS IS NOT SCRIPTING ITS ONLY CHAT SHORTCUTS] to say "enemy warded" in chat on your general ping key. Or if you dont want your ping to say it every time, just ping and have the keybind on H so that you can quicky hit both.

This can actually work with any custom ping you want, ult down, no summs, let's dive, etc etc

To be honest I'm not skilled enough in AutoHotkey coding to get it to work on a button press, but I know how to set it on a single letter you put into chat. (If someone knows how to do the single button press plz tell me xD)

SirHeavyScrotumDec 17, 20151 votes

If pros think typing "this is warded" is "toxic" then who cares what pros think? Besides I don't know of any pros that think that all typing in game is toxic. Lol.
