Ping Harassment

xReadyPlayerOnex·Sep 30, 2016·2 votes·363 views

Stop pinging people when you don't like what they're doing. It's not what they're there for and it needs to stop.

Please add this as something that's reportable.

It is reportable actually.

Unsportsmanlike conduct or Harassment work just fine. Just be sure to specify in the report comment that the player was spamming pings. It doesn't need it's own category since it applies to one of the two I mentioned. Just need to write down that they were ping spamming and Riot will check the game logs!

Hope that helps :)

Is that true? Can a rioter support this?

I couldn't find an official statement from Riot, but one of the board moderators, Elduris, posted that it is reportable using the Harassment option. Just note it in the description.

Just to clarify something, Elduris is an Arbiter, and Arbiters are not moderators and have no moderation privileges. The best source for verifying ping spamming as a punishable offense would probably be Tantram; I've seen it said specifically before by a Rioter, but don't think I'd be able to find the reference without a lot of time searching.

Ah thank you! I get the Arbiters and moderators confused. Thanks again :)

And I couldn't find the reference either, but I know I've seen someone talk about it before. But I figured OP wanted some kind of tangible evidence to it, so I figured that would work :P

I've seen Riot Red smite others here for ping spamming.

Though I'm not going to search for it, the search function on boards is horrible.

Yeah it's super annoying, especially when most of the time the person using the '?' ping is 50% or more at fault for the very thing they are trying to insult you for. Like they turret dive when no one is around (but a teammate is on the way) and they die, the person will immediately blame the person who is closest and spam ping them with '?'. These people are way more annoying and distracting than the ones who swear and talk shit constantly.
