Spamming "Missing In Action Ping" to Shame Mistakes - Please Introduce the Right to Mute Pings

Some toxic players spam the yellow question mark to notify the entire team of a player's mistake. That, in a sense, is not healthy for the player at all. The mute option has solved most issues with toxic players, but they can always get a way around it by spamming unnecessary pings. This is extremely off-putting for someone trying to concentrate on the game. Not only does it affect the player being targeted, but the other players on the team as well.

Therefore, I believe that you should have the right to mute pings. That way, players can focus on the game itself and ignore any distractions.

Technically, you can mute pings.

The problem is you mute all of them, not just from the player you're trying to ignore. I agree that Riot should have an individual ping mute button.

I tend to agree, I find rage-pinging FAR more troublesome than people raging in the chat.

You can ignore someone, but if they rage-ping, drowning out actually useful pings you will be legitimately hindered.

It's a good idea and the ability of muting one person's ping whose abusing the feature vs. losing the ability to do so with your entire team is something that needs to be available.

The only issue I have with this is that there's already been so many threads about this and everyone has already stated that they agreed with the idea.

You already have the option to mute all pings.

how about no?

If you fail to notify your teammates of a possible gank by your laner, the shame is well deserved.

riot has specifically stated that they will not add the ability to mute pings. because players need SOME way to communicate with /mute allers
