Question mark pings are just as toxic as calling someone bad

Unless it's a joke or for an actual strategic reason, these pings are SUPER aggravating. Yes, I know I got caught by that Blitz hook and died; no, you don't need to show me 50+ times with a bunch of question mark pings.

So pls, use these when you NEED them and not as a passive-aggressive flaming tool.

Thankfully they finally added the "Mute Ping" feature. Yes it will be problematic if they try to use pings for the right reason, but hey, they don't need to abuse it to tilt a team mate.

I had a teammate last night that ping-spammed me with "?"s everytime I made a GOOD play. It was a pleasant surprise.

Is it possible they were question mark pinging the enemy? I do that every once in awhile if an enemy misplays badly.

so you make bad plays and someone calls you out and you get offended and make more bad plays?

thing is you are not going to stop making bad plays just because you can't be called out on it. if anything this poor asshole who you are screwing over is helping you.

No, it's science. Like hitting your kid is bad not just because of morals but also because it inhibits brain function. Pingspamming people is literally making them dumber because they have to deal with that shit. Subsequently they make bad plays because they aren't functioning 100%.

Spanking small children is fine because they can't reason yet. That's the only way for them to know what they are doing is wrong. Don't be a cupcake.

Small children can reason, they just need things explained better because they don't have the experience to draw conclusions as fast as us. Don't be an idiot.

Many studies have shown this to not be true. Using violence predominantly teaches children that violence is a "solution". There are many other teaching methods that are more effective, including the one I am most familiar with, Gentle Teaching.

And many studies have show it to be true. Violence is a "solution". It's a last resort solution but it works. Noone is advocating beating children for every minor infraction. But responsible judicial use of spanking when a child is completely out of control is warranted. I think this never stand up to your child BS is what's leading to the snowflake epidemic we have now.

I like taking them literally and asking the guy who's missing, and then telling them where everyone is, and going so who is it that's missing? What are you pinging for?! I don't think you know what that ping means.

That's why I love the Mute Pings feature. When people start spamming them cause I missed something, didn't follow up, whatever, I don't have to see it :D
