Problem is that the pings theyre spaming have two effects. One, its annoying to have to listen to. Two, people stop looking at the minimap to see whos pinging what because they just assume that its more ping spam. So the purpose of pings as communication goes away, cause ping spam results in people ignoring pings over all.
So yeah, we need to be able to mute peoples pings with a:
/ignoreping Akali
as an example, this way we can ignore their toxic diatribe nonsense with mutes without blocking their pings, and we can stop people who think, "well if I can ping once, I may aswell ping five times" as two separate things.
