Just finished a game where a player spammed ping at team for entire game. There is no way to turn of pings. It made the game unplayable. Is there something that can be done about this? The player's name was edit ;) and he also swore at team and told other team he was going to make us put up with him. Makes me not want to play this game any more and I have several hundred dollars sunk in it....
To be honest, I think it making you "not want to play this game anymore" is a slight overreaction to having some ping spam. That being said, I do find this to be a rather annoying occurrence in a few games every now and then. I find the best solution is to just go ahead and mute the player and then recommend that your team does the same. At least at that point the player's swearing and verbal toxicity is removed.
As far as a method to make it so that pinging is turned off as a custom setting, is that really something that you want? Imagine the game of League where all of your teammates have pings turned off and now of them will respond or communicate. At the end of the day, I feel like that sort of option would do a lot more harm than good.
Just sayin' but caling out people for negative behavior is highly shunned on by Riot. You may want to edit his name out. (Actually it's even against the EULA/TOS)
They just need to revert it so that adding a player to ignore once again mutes their pings, i've heard the riot reasoning behind why they changed it and i think its BS, i only ever use ignore to mute ping spammers so without that the mute feature is worthless to me
Add in a "block pings" option next to "mute" so you can do one or both. Best of both worlds.
Best you can do is ignore the pings. Sure you can uninstall the game but that's hundreds of dollars down the drain. Chances are you are not going to run into someone who overuses the ping button. Maybe one who is verbally harassing everyone, but that's what the block command is for
Report for ping spam option?
