Please add option to (Mute Pings) from players in game

Have had an awful Solo Queue experience of ping spammers in my games and its annoying as well as makes the game go worse given the fact...

. I have to type / mute all. . Turn off my sound.

Please add a option like old seasons when a player is muted their pings are muted, or allow a option to disable all pings from said players in the game, If you can't ping and get it right I don't want to hear it.

I agree for many reasons. There should be a way to mute, or disable pings. Not only for the annoying spammers, but for people with epilepsy too!

riot won't do this. the reason they made it so muting doesnt mute pings. is so muted players can still communicate during teamfight phase. and pings are designed to be annoying so people notice them

it also prevents griefers from muting everyone and claiming they were being unsportsmanlike by not communicating

Which I agree with this, but players abuse and use pings wrong...

Example, Jungler pings my lane, decides to not follow the 3 second rule, doesn't say anything in chat, or decides to go take blue or red without saying anything, This type of behavior is very annoying (Doesn't happen all the time) but an example of where I will just immediately /mute all, and turn off my sound which makes things worse but its that or have to put up with the pings that really screw me over compared to if doing pre-made teams.

Players who use pings multiple times in a row dear god, the support spamming V, its just annoying.

Like it doesn't happen every single game but sometimes you need the option to turn off pings without turning off sound and having to turn off chat too because it ruins being able to hear ward placements and such even leads to more deaths.

Like honestly there are valid uses for using the ping function, but making the game more sportsmanlike I fail to understand how pinging (X) lane for a group fight is going to be of any use a game I played the other day for example my jungler was being a retard, pinging the lane, running in screwing it up early, could have been won easily, but he decides to do this more than once, I have everyone muted, I have my sound off, and "The Real Team Play Required" is for them to force the objectives in the jungle" rather than ping, and put down wards properly, instead the jungler is being a useless idiot all game, takes (Chilling Smite) when (Green Smite) would have helped more and saved lives, and I can't take the time to explain this because everyone is on ignore and my sound is off so the real team play would have been not abusing the ping system so I could have said take green smite and fight in the jungle, pinging over and over again isn't really that useful, as I will personally ignore half the pings unless I see a valid one or reason If I have to turn off my sound and such.
