Because it's really a necessity. Back then when people spammed pings I could just /ignore them and move on. Now I have to mute pings from everyone just because of one ass. It has come to a point I don't even turn the sounds back up after the game, I just run with it at 0 because I'd have to mute it every other game anyway. If you disabled ping muting to increase communication, guess what Riot, it backfired.
The people that ping effectively almost never go near the limit, so I don't really understand why the ping limit is so high, it's just asking for abuse. It is total bullshit you cannot mute pings. A player can EASILY ruin your game with pings alone if they really want to.
I agree, I really think all pings should be limited to one ping in a region on the map per x seconds
If they'd just let us mute the pings that get used for harassment or pointless stuff like spamming question marks on a dead person or spamming the back ping on someone that's last hitting your lane while you're not even there and the gold would otherwise go into the trash because the tower would kill it, I'd be happy.
And I don't just mean the sound. I mean the image of the ping too.
I don't get it.. what ELO is ping spamming so prominent in? I've only dealt with ping spams maybe twice out of, who knows, 400 games or so since they reworked pings? Where's all the ping spam?
Anyways, I see a lot of posts like this, so i hope they implement it.
i literally just posted a discussion in the gameplay board for this exact reason
except i know of no way to mute or silence just pings i can deal with the image but not the constant sound of a spammed ping can anyone help?
heres my post if anyone would like to up-vote etc, riot needs to sort this out
