Ping Spam Ruined Another Game

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.

Ping spam sucks dude it tilts me so hard. Thinking of just turning the sound off on it all the way, I watch the minimap like a paranoid meth head anyway.

Yeah and I really hate when people ping multiple times (for no reason). The only time I ping multiple times is to show the direction of enemies who are wandering through the jungle/bush, but most people are pinging fall back or target enemies 3+ times usually. This Graves would ping the enemy Ryze at least twice every time he came in vision, even though he was way out of range of attacking.

Ping volume 15 isn't bad, I still get pissed but at least it doesn't beat my ears up.

In the sound menu there's a ping sound adjuster. You can turn that super low or to zero and still have al the other game sound.

Yeah but the other 3 and myself were using pings for legitimate reasons, even though you couldn't really tell who was pinging for what most of the time cause Graves was constantly pinging.
