This needs to be reportable

Xavanic··12 votes·1,339 views

Spamming pings on a player should in fact be a reportable offense, as it is by far one of the most tilting things in league of legends, and you cant even do anything about it besides mute the pings, and then when you have an actual danger or mia ping you might not notice it if your in the middle of a fight

people have been punished here for ping spamming (as a griefing method) before.

Seen red smites on them on this very boards.

It is, though I've only seen one case on the boards of a player being banned for it. Report it under Unsportsmanlike Conduct or Verbal Abuse and annotate it in the description.

You would still have to describe what they were doing to troll in order for a manual review to discover it cause a bot is not going to punish "trolling"

Why on earth would this bother you.

If this bothers you, you should not be playing multiplayer games, because you have way bigger issues to deal with than people spamming pings..

Actually in my eyes he's a better fit to playing multiplayer games than you are. Being sensitive to pings means that he's actually actively listening to his team and taking their feedback. When someone abuses that and you have no way of preventing that one person while allowing the other 3 members of your team to ping and communicate, it gets annoying.

Sorry, i forget most of the league community are passive-aggressive brats.

How does a brat with no control, who tilts himself enough to cry on the forums make him "more suitable" for multiplayer? Ping volume, it is a setting that can be used. Of course, removing the issue would mean nothing to cry about, and we cant have that, now.

He's giving a suggestion to fix a problem which is a perfect use of the forums. At no point does he do anything to indicate that he's a "brat with no control" as unlike you he's not name calling any of the other players.

Ping volume is indeed a setting that can be used; however the point of it is that you shouldn't have to lose on the communication benefit with the 3 other players using pings correctly just to cover for the one person that's messing up. It's for the same reason that you are able to mute one player vs. your entire team.

Yeah... it's something wrong with me that I'm bothered by someone spamming a really annoying sound in my ear for half the game.

GOOD CALL BUDDY!!!

Ping spamming is harassment just like other forms of griefing.

It's not paid a lot of love by RIOT as it's difficult to detect but I hope with more accurate reports and some time they can manage the problem more effectively.

I usually just do it back.

When your in a fight and you think it actually means danger, and you back off against that lucain for .5 seconds, that could be the difference between winning the fight or dying, which then that person will generally proceed to flame you and get your team to back them up

The community decides what is punishable. If you think it's punishable report them for it. If they do it in every game and people report them for it they will be punished. It's all automated.

I think they were copying the Mia ping spam from in game when someone makes a mistake.

It is reportable under "Unsportsmanlike". Simply report them under that and in the comments section describe what they did. The pings are in the in game logs.

Rather than making more draconian rules, it's better to have a mute pings option for each player when you press Tab.

I play alot of Kled, who has alot of outplay potential, and in the middle of a fight my team will think im stupid fight with 1/3rd of my hp left, and start ping spamming, which will cause panic, then i will realize they are just spam pinging me and i died when i had 90 courage, thats when it pisses me off to no end, so essentially im getting ping spammed because i know what my champs capable of but my team doesnt
