Hi, can we please start listening to pings? Thanks.

I play jungle and I am getting so sick of keeping track of the enemy jungler and having any sort of contact with the opponents anywhere on the map in the early-mid game.

This is because most of the time people do not react.

What I will do is ping which side of the map they are on/what they are clearing if they being efficient(aka not going to a side that was just cleared). For some reason people still play forward, then with vision or without vision they end up dying, even with follow-up pings on top of them a few seconds later when I believe they are in danger of being ganked or when the jungler shows up on a ward. It honestly feels pointless to ping at this point. (Sometimes it's inefficient for me to be on that side of that map to solely counter/match gank)

I'm also starting to dread any contact with the opponent outside of the lane whether it be invading, being invaded or seeing them in the river because again, most people don't react. Even when the lanes are both pushed to the opponents turret and I am being invaded they don't react, hell sometimes the opponents laners get there first.

I am getting so frustrated because of this, it would make games so much smoother and easier if people would just trust pings, even if they don't have an idea of why they are being pinged. So please, start listening to pings.

pings are a bit too ambiguous.

there needs to be a couple of reply pings like

"no" - a red circle with a line through it

and

"okay" - a thumbs up


if a player uses the assistance ping players who cant assist at that moment could use the no ping and players who can would use the okay and the on my way ping.

if a player states an MIA ping then all of your players could use the okay ping to let you know they saw it. if no one or someone doesnt see it you could issue the MIA ping again.

the blue and yellow ambiguous pings need to be removed and replaced with actual retreat pings and the other two pings mentioned above.


currently there are

4 pings with specific names that can be ALT click dragged onto the screen

assist me danger on my way enemy missing

and 2 that have to be manually placed

retreat alert


and several that are combinations of objects and the alert ping

target player target tower target epic monster


my question is why cant all pings (except the targeted pings) be on the alt click drag wheel and why cant there be an okay and no ping. for clarity's sake please someone convince riot that it's needed.

Funny how most people I've met complain about me not pinging, They ignored my ping 10-15 seconds earlier for MIA. Then they proceed to complain at me for not following my laner, when he recalled then walked to gank bot or top lane over coming back to mid lane. Then I'll receive nothing but salt and blame for the rest of the game.
