There needs to be a "Mute Pings" button next to the "Mute" button in the scoreboard...

Something that really irritates me is when players spam pings just to be annoying. It's happened too many times to count that someone will spam pings incessantly, and god forbid you tell them or they find out that they are muted.

I realize there are reasons that muting a player shouldn't completely prevent you from seeing or hearing their pings -- after all, someone might be toxic in chat, but still ping intelligently. Not wanting to read what they have to say shouldn't cut you off from being able to use other tools to coordinate as a team. But, often, players who are toxic in chat will continue to be as annoying as humanly possible with pings too. There needs to be a way to mute another player's pings, for two reasons:

1. The ping noise is annoying as shit when spammed, and having to hear it over and over is tilting. Duh!

2. When one player spams pings, it causes the rest of the team to stop paying attention to them. This, consequently, means that when someone else pings for a legitimate reason, there's a chance others won't notice, assuming the ping noise is coming from the spammer.

Alternatively, consider an option to "Suppress Pings" after the first ping from any player per some time period -- 30 seconds, perhaps? It'd be to ping noises what chat restriction is to chatting: once every 30 seconds, the first ping they make can be heard, but afterwards, all ping noises are suppressed.

Thoughts?

EDIT: I also know that there's a difference between pinging something multiple times to communicate urgency and constantly spamming pings as soon and as frequently as allowed and possible. The former, I think, most players do from time to time. The latter is just childish.
