Please add a report feature for spam pinging.

Very few things more infuriating than someone spam pinging every player on your team every time they die or mess up.

I know you can mute pings, but that's pretty useful information you're blocking out just to stop someone from spamming. Especially if its the jungler that's doing it.

Most times I'll just suffer through it on the off chance they ping an objective or an incoming gank so I can still be an effective team mate when the time comes.

Right now I just report them for negative behavior and type up a little message that says "Spam pinged people when the died or messed up" but I'm fairly certain riot's IFS algorithm doesn't pick up on it. I don't think they care.

And I'm not talking about someone pinging "Get back" 6 times or "Missing" a bunch of times. I actually would rather someone ping too much than too little - so that doesn't bother me.

I'm talking about someone pinging someone's death timer repeatedly when they die, or pinging someone's flash if they fail flash, or pinging someone's ultimate if they whiff it. There's no reason for that.

Give me a way to report these kids so they can know that their behavior is unacceptable.

Mute the pings. That's a new feature now.

Please add a report feature for little fucking babies who constantly feel the need to report, usually out of jealousy that other players outplayed them.

I'm not sure how a player on my own team can outplay me... seems like you're just looking for an excuse to be a jerk here.

I agree with that. He seems kinda salty...

Anywho, I think that you are doing the right thing for spam pinging, negative attitude with a description of "spam pinging allied death timers on death or spam pinging missing on death" works fine. I can't speak for the IFS but it is a learning system and they are probably working on something specific for it to use, but until then, just keep up what you have been doing. Who knows, maybe the IFS will be like "Oh, 48 death timer pings that hit the 'spam cap'... Hmm, maybe people find that negative?" and start adding weight to it? Idk, not much we can actually do, I do report if someone does it enough... /shrug
