New Ping idea: Good job! ping

Arcade Andrew··79 votes·2,490 views

Simple idea: I got the idea from two things A: If you have a chat ban, how can you say good job if youve used up your messages B: a good job ping is quicker and easier to tell somebody good job rather then stopping to type it.

so can we have a good job ping?

edit:

  1. holy crap i didnt expect so many responses, replying now to most of them and
  2. I understand it can be seen as a "BM" ping, but like whenever I help an ally go out and kill somebody i wanna ping them a thumbs up or something like "gj m8 you deserve this ping :D"

I can see this replacing the missing ping to bm teammates with. ADC on your team blindly walks into a bush and gets one shot and then the "Good job!" pings ensue.

Arcade Andrew2 votes

is this meant as a good " good job"? or a bad "good job" either way it could be a soothing sound, of love and affection

I think he means that it can be abused to flame.

At least it would free up the missing ping to actually inform others when the enemy laner is mia. I'd take that as a win.

That's fine. I can at least snark back, "Oh thanks. I know it was a pretty awesome play."

there can be a ping for that! A PING FOR EVERYTHING

I can see this turning into BM, BUT I, personally, wouldn't use it as such. I think letting your teammates know you're proud of them is a great idea. :D

The enemy missing ping serves this purpose

and still toxic players will use it to tilt their teammates after fail play xDD

This could be used so salt-ly. Miss a bush when warding and you get this "good job!" ping from everyone and you just want to end yourself

Or you could right it out yourself, with love. A Simple 'GJ' Dosnt bring the tingley feelings like 'That was amazing!' Does.

Arcade Andrew2 votes

I want a ping with tingly emotions

PhoenixOfHeaven2 votes

:P You cant click a button and make someone feel all happy inside. You only truly feel that when you say it out loud.

that makes me pingly

YEAH! automated tingly. and who does more then gj in chat.

Arcade Andrew1 votes

tingles ;)

It's going to be used more like a WTF ping, sort of like missing ping is used now. I would rather they make a "wow" ping. It can be used both sarcastically, or to call attention to someone's play.

Burned flash with no enemies around? Wow ping. Won a 1v2 top lane? Wow ping.

Because a GJ ping is going to be super tilting if some asshat decides to spam it every time you die to your laner.

Maybe the MIA ping will regain its agency if they add this in.

I don't thing that's a good idea, even though it seems like it on paper. When you have to actually type it, you avoid people using it sarcastically.

Arcade Andrew1 votes

This is the ping we need!

Wolfeur1 votes

But not the one we deserve right now.

Arcade Andrew1 votes

agreed

ehh...only if you win a 2v1 or something that is a good job. I'm not going pat you on the back for doing as you're expected.

TrulyBland2 votes

Love it.

Being able to ping specific players/places with that also might help with situations where one player does something awesome, one player does something awful and typing "gj" can be misconstrued as being sarcastic to the bad player. I know that's probably not such a frequent thing to happen... but honestly I seem to keep running into such situations.

Arcade Andrew4 votes

exactly! although coming from you, Itd be a Truly bland ping

Meritas2 votes

If it will bring us closer to the "I'm getting myself a cup of coffee, don't invade" ping.

AdeBug1 votes

can the normal ping print out the name of the player so i can report for harassment?

Xeruon1 votes

In chat, it always shows who pings what. (Unless it's the generic blue ping)

AdeBug1 votes

normal=generic, what other normal pings are there? everything has a mark or some output in chat

to much effort man

tacofacefart1 votes

Its a great idea. fuck the haters.

Mërmaid1 votes

Yeah..just as others have said, this will just be a replacement for (?).

Which, I mean, I'm all for it. I laugh when people ping (?), and I probably will when they use (Good Job!)

I don't think it's worth it to add to the game. Right now it only takes 1 second or less to type "gj". And the time taken isn't critical anyways, because you're not gonna say GJ in the middle of a fight, even if it only takes 1 click.

aay good job when dying over and over again

Blizzard changed thier "Sorry" emote to "WOW" emote, cause people were using it to BM.

Kinda like how LOL players are using "Enemies missing" more for the Question mark.

But, I guess if it was a thumbs up emote or somethin, it would be harder to use as BM? it would be less negative for sure

Arcade Andrew1 votes

It should be a heart

Despite the fact that pings can be abused, overall I think this is a GREAT idea. I always like to positively reenforce great plays, good teamwork, etc... so whenever we have a good exchange in lane or good gank, I like letting people know I appreciate their cooperative gameplay.

I would absolutely love a faster and easier way to do this especially considering many times I have to find a safe place to stop and type.

Probably the only good thing that would come out of this would be that the ? ping would finally actually mean "MIA" most of the time

Arcade Andrew1 votes

I use it for mias still, cus im to lazy to type

Fairyfleur1 votes

I love the idea, but I would rather have a more tactical ping if I had to choose between the two.
