An Idea about purposefully annoying spam pings

Not sure if this is the right thread to post this idea in but...

An idea occurred to me during a game where I had a teammate spam pings on everyone as if he was trying to tilt us(via spam pinging literally any death, etc.). However he didn't type at all, so I couldn't just mute his typing and I didn't bother to ask him to stop with the risk of him doing it even more so intentionally. So i was thinking, what if along with the mute button, it didn't just prevent you from seeing what your teammates type but it also reduces the amount of pings you see from them.

I believe I understand why Riot doesn't have it set so muting just disables all pings(so your team still has someway to communicate), but what if muting limited the muted player's pings to; for example, 1 ping every 10secs or something along those lines. This might help reduce the amount of tilting a player experiences from his team.

Maybe with a few changes to this, could this work?

its ridiculous that we still cant mute pings. ping spam abuse has been a thing for like a year now

If someone on the team is harassing with pings, you can go into your audio settings and set the ping volume to 0. Also, I've been told that /ignore playername and /block playername will stop you from both their chat and pings but I haven't tried it myself.

I do agree with you that their needs to be a feature to mute a player's pings in cases where it is a tool for harassment, but Riot seems to be unwilling to do this for sake of team communication.
