Ping Spammers

I think ping spam annoys me more than when people are swearing and being negative in game.

It's one thing to ping the bush to warn enemy is coming, it's a totally different thing when your Graves ping the enemy every single time they are in sight, even though they are way behind the turret. This Graves was telling mid he was trolling and pretty much being negative to everyone when he was being annoying the whole game with endless pings. I was Blitzcrank and I would grab them at every opportunity, and every time I grabbed them, he would start pinging the other enemy 3-5 times and say 'grab' when it was obviously still on cooldown, and then every time he recalled he would ping fall back as many times as possible. Whenever our team would go in when he's not there, he'd ping fall back again as many times as possible.

Then when I ping for a legitimate reason 'enemy missing' when 3 enemies were roaming the bush then he dies 20 seconds later he starts saying 'noob crank'. I know this was probably a little kid or something, but the ping spam alone ruined the game, nevermind his annoying attitude.

Everyone else was being relaxed and only using pings for legitimate reasons, and this Graves just felt like causing chaos in what would have otherwise been a very pleasant game where we worked together well.

I ping every time I spot an enemy on the map, it's very frequently the case where my team is blind and didn't see it. Better to drop a danger ping on the mini map icon of an enemy player than risk my team not seeing it and giving up a kill.

If they're wandering the jungle that's good to ping them, but that is not what I'm talking about. Everytime an enemy would go into lane they would begin pinging them constantly, minimum 4 pings each time. Many times they would spam ping enemies that we were already attacking, in the middle of the fight pinging the enemy we are already clearly attacking. Beyond distracting

If they are hiding in bush that's good to ping... but many times is not necessary.This guy was pinging fall back every time the enemy walked up to their turret like 5 times and then pinged the enemy 5 more times.

if he pings the enemy while your skills is on CD, you should skill ping (alt+left click on a skill) and tell him it's down.

He definitely knew it was on CD though, I do use the skill pings often, it was immediately after I already grabbed someone and he was right there and he still pings them constantly. There's nothing to stop people like this that just want to annoy everyone or trying to control the whole team so badly they're not even paying attention to things like CD and positioning

Maybe just real bad, who knows.

Haven't had that one yet, and I hope I never get him either. I normally get the ones where you get 4 man dove bot, both bot laners die, and then the jungler or mid laner is all ? ping on your corpse. Yes, I am clearly a horrible player because the malphite ult into MF ult combo murdered us before we could do anything.
