Which hide pings of the muted player.

As a picture says more than words (specially for someone that doesnt speak english fluently), I made one :

This is key evidence that all Fizz players are evil [slayer-jinx-wink]

Because its disgusting and broken and unfair.

I'll give you a hint: always press alt+F4 when you're in a fight in-game, it helps.

Velzard of KozJun 17, 20167 votes

I was also amused by the fact Fizz just happened to be the example champion. What a coincidence.

Bear JuiceJun 17, 20167 votes

Its not a coincidence, its a sign.

I had an Elise spam pings for an entire 45 minute game. I NEED THIS

Agreed. Not always, but occasionally when I mute a teammate for toxicity, they realize they're muted and start pinging me. Or you get that teammate that thinks they have to ping twelve times every time they notice an enemy champion, or the ones that feel compelled to ping you to retreat WHILE YOU'RE ALREADY TRYING TO RUN.

I see that last one almost every game.

And not to mention the guy who angrily spams MIA after he gets ganked.

(No matter HOW many times you warn him...)

ChoirmaestroJun 18, 20161 votes

"CALL MIA MID YOU (insert expletive here)" 5 seconds earlier in chat "______ has signaled that enemies are missing." "______ has signaled that enemies are missing." Apparently 2 pings aren't enough?

It Hertz When IPJun 18, 20163 votes

I'm all for pinging twice with a short delay in between, in case the first ping happened in the middle of a flurry of activity. But any more than two pings is spam.

Supreme Senpai69Jun 19, 20161 votes

I had a Gragas do it for me too. I had this really awesome Annie play that I recorded using plays.tv, but I don't show it to people because all you see is:

"DANGER DANGER DANGER DANGER" over and over again. The report was too good for him. The damage had already been done. :/

Make them silent, but still show on map. If not silent, much quoeter, so they are still noticable

That also can be an option. But well some games I really just don't want to see any pings or messages coming from a player. Just to stay focused on the game without any disturbance.

I think completely removing a teammate's communication is a bad way to go. It may help this problem, but I feel is abusable by toxic players in several ways. They could just ignore pings and do whatever they want basically, and have plausible denial about the team trying to help them. Groups can completely ignore other players, and make reports for failing to communicate and such. While these would obviously be able to be proven false, it would place an undue burden (even small, it's completely avoidable) on the system.

XIII VanitasJun 17, 20162 votes

You can already do that, but it affects all pings, doesn't matter who make them.

ParcevalJun 17, 201610 votes

I've asked for this SO MANY times. And most of the time my posts just get downvoted to obscurity.

Supreme Senpai69Jun 19, 20161 votes

Boards are weird. I think it has to do with who sees it first. If they see a thread with downvotes they'll downvote without reading, and if they see a thread with some upvotes they'll read it to see why people are upvoting it. So if a downvote drone gets to it first then you're all out of luck.

I just noticed that I took an ennemy fizz to illustrate, of course this is an ally-only feature ><

ComannderShepardJun 18, 20163 votes

I think it should just mute the sound and not the ping

ChoaruJun 17, 20162 votes

But how else am i suppose to communicate with my team that im coming to gank their lane D: Apparently nobody have map awareness x.x

Hey if you disagree with the sheeple on this board, you get downvoted. There's no room for discourse on the internet man. What are you thinking?

ChoirmaestroJun 18, 20162 votes

Maybe Riot should lower the amount of pings you can have, and make the "cd" of the pings longer, so that you don't get 200 pings in 2 minutes..

The ability to mute the pings of a player who does like 20 pings for the same event he/she is bringing attention to, not because pinging is bad. I honestly get distracted when this happens or if I'm already retreating but a player decides to retreat ping my entire movement.

Jeanne fan clubJun 18, 20161 votes

in a game where your rank is determined by the other 4 players i think that muting the only form of communication between players is the worst thing you can do for yourself. this seems like such a non-issue that i don't think riot would do anything about it.

gbroskiJun 19, 20161 votes

True. It's more of venting i'm sure. Me personally I would just like the ability to mute the 1 player who did ping x15 times for a single thing or make strict limit on the number pings like 3 max in a 10 period by a single player.

Beached ManateeJun 18, 20161 votes

Did you know You can already mute them? Turn off their sound in options Individuals no but most people who want this are also the ones who mute everyone at the start of the game anyway.

I posted a thread about this weeks ago, got down votes T_T

MonkeyMadnessJun 18, 20161 votes

I get that having a mute button is necessary, as there are some real jackasses out there that just spam toxic bullshit, but the issue with even the standard mute function is that it is highly abusable. People use the mute function as a weapon (ie: "one more word and I'll mute you", or "stfu muted"). Both of these statements inevitably cause whatever toxicity that was present to be magnified. Not to mention, willingly cutting off communications with teammates substantially reduces your chances of victory (as comms are a key component of the game). Both of these issues will be just as bad with ping muting, if not worse. Imagine trying to coordinate a fight with person that has both muted AND ping muted you. It's just not possible. You are virtually guaranteed to lose if you cut someone off this thoroughly. I get that ping spam gets annoying, but honestly dealing with dickwads is just part of life. If it's really bad, report them at the end of the game and/or submit a support ticket explaining the situation. They'll eventually get what's coming to them.

6-7 years of one of the most popular games in the world, potentially revolutionising some aspects of gameplay to create video game history, doesnt even have specific player ping mutes....

Godspeed SkankJun 18, 20161 votes

Yea, but Riot doesn't want to get rid of it because you should still be able to communicate with your team. However, the fact that there are some very annoying people who never stop pinging.

PsybicilinJun 18, 20161 votes

I personally can't stand the jungler who danger pings the camp you are leashing for him, as if I don't know that the camp is for him

badeedJun 18, 20161 votes

i am badeed a mute ping would be really helpful. If someone is spamming pings. Instead of muting all pings would mute that guy only

iNewbiestJun 19, 20161 votes

I had someone spam danger pings at me non stop for 20 minutes (4 every 10 seconds or so), to the point I had no choice but to mute all pings in-game, although that only removed the sound. A mute ping option would be GREAT.

gbroskiJun 19, 20161 votes
