Some times the pings are bad calls, some times good ones. There is no algorithm in the world for determining a good ping from the bad. riot should include more informative pings like "enemy incoming" ping or "push this tower" ping or "take this objective because there are 5 people chasing me" ping or "stop following me" ping People with no map awareness usually takes a few seconds to figure out WHY you're pinging so they make poor decisions. instead of typing out the reason, there should be automated messages that pops up in chat... don't know how that'll work, maybe a short cut like typing /g for "gank incoming" message

Just take a look at the Dota 2 ping system. Much better.

yeah… a zed was spam pinging dragon while the enemy was taking it and we didn't know if he wanted us to go in and try to steal it or stay away :/

They are necessary if your goal is for me to ignore you. Two pings if it's important. Three pings absolutely max.

Oh. Here I was thinking this was an East Coast Server kind of thing.

And when you ping on a champ, follow through. Don't ping, have someone initiate, then leave and say "WTF?" when they die.

I love this movie. Since I've started playing (or being good, anyway), if someone decides to ping eight times, I will simply type into chat

one ping only visily

Speaking as someone who plays while skyping, sometimes I have to ping three times just to get my friend to back away from the tower while he tries to dive after that enemy with low health when he's literally at half as much hp.

Yes, I know how obnoxious that is to the rest of the team, but sometimes you just have to keep yelling NO until it finally gets through.

And also, I apologize afterwards as best as I can.
