idk what took riot so long to give us pingmutes, but im grateful EVERY DAY
i ALWAYS ask nicely to not pingspam. mainly when i play jungle i always say "pls dont pingspam i see that youre under tower i will try to gank asap"
if they keep pingspamming i just mute them. most are too stupid to realize this and just pingspam me the entire game, while others start to afk in my jungle and take my camps (hey uhm trollbuster, is it ever going to happen?)
but man i remember in old days when you heard that fucking ping sound 6 times every 10 seconds. nightmare.
i think the pingmute is THE BEST THING that was ever done in regards to player behavior. maybe next to the IFS
