Ability to mute Pings? (Please?)

Can we make it so we can mute specific player's pings? Ran into a guy today who kept spamming pings every time he was able (with the brief delay of "you cannot issue more pings" being the only thing that stopped him.)

It was one of the must infuriating experiences I've ever had in this game. On top of that whenever someone asked...then told... (because we got frustrated) him to stop he would act like he was doing nothing wrong and was completely innocent. (effective troll was effective).

TL:DR Make us able to mute specific player pings plz...

Not a fan of being able to mute pings because then someone who mutes a teammate might by default also go to mute their pings which would seriously hamper the team's ability to communicate at all.

However, an extremely excessive amount of pings should lead to a system message asking the team if pings should be limited to all players to one every 5 seconds or so.

But then if they reported someone for not communicating would their reports hold true even though they muted (and thus muted ping) them? while i do agree with you to some extent, you have to admit some people will go crazy with it. its the same reason why blocking someone doesnt block being matched with them. People will abuse it. Whereas there are things in this game that could be abuse, but isnt all that serious that if it is it can at least be controlled. This just might not be one of them they can control, or that it may cause more problem than fixing them!

Yep I've had this happen and Yes it is annoying :) Thankfully mine stopped, but it took the whole team asking the person to stop doing it. I have to say that it was one of the more irritating things to happen IMO.

I don't usually get truly mad during games, I'm not one to mute anyone because I can ignore them and decide at the end of game weather to report. This was something different if I'd had to listen to that all game, well yeah haha

I have heard a Red talk about other options and the opinion was that Riot did not want to flood the choices for options or some such thing...I Wonder How many others have this happen ??
