Can we have a Good Job Ping??

MadamJay·May 17, 2017·102 votes·2,549 views

Hey guys, To build more positive interaction in-game, it would be nice if we can get a good job ping or a thank you would be nice. I ask because sometimes I do want to say it, but I don't because I'm busy concentrating and don't want to type. I feel pinging is a easier way to communicate and it would be nice if you can ping someone when they doing a good job. It builds people up, and if people are using the ?? To flame why not create something more positive. What do you guys think?

PePsiLemoNN (EUW)- Mentioned a warded ping, I think that is a great idea. What do you guys think??

Yeah totally won't be spammed in teammates corpses. The pings are in the first place for koordination, not so much for social Communication.

MadamJayMay 17, 20178 votes

True, and that made me laugh thinking about that, but people always going to misuse a concept. The way they misuse the ? Ping. I think it would be cool to just see a good job ping. It's a motivating ping that can be useful to help build morale. The more a person feels good the better they will play.

This is very true, but when someone is toxic or salty they WILL spam this ping on their dead teammates. It already happens with enemies missing ping like you said, but it will be much worse if you give a ping saying 'you did great' because it would be used sarcastically; however, now that muting pings is a thing it is much more likely to work well then it used to be. So, maybe, but it seems a little unnecessary when you can just type gj in chat.

With Ping mutes coming out soon it will be possible for players to squelch assholes who do that.

I don't see this as a reason to not add something that could streamline and contribute to positive experiences.

MadamJayMay 18, 20171 votes

Yeah, that is so true. The new ping system you can mute people so it would be the best time to even create something like it.

Riot make a MIA ping, plz. Not a wtf team ping

rtbf225618241May 17, 20171 votes

Nobody calls it MIA in EU tho. It's just ss for missing.

Sp33d Zer0May 18, 20174 votes

we refer to ss as summoner spells.

AnidanMay 18, 20171 votes

Back when I played most people I ran into also used ss for missing. Seems like it could go either way depending on the person.

Sp33d Zer0May 18, 20171 votes

back in s2 I saw it alot.

I never knew what it was supposed to be short for though. Sneaky snake? Slippery shitbag? Suiciding Sidelanes?

AnidanMay 18, 20171 votes

That last one sounds about accurate since the sidelanes would never listen when I said "ss mid" and they stayed pushed up for my enemy midlaner's ganking convenience.

Nanuk PihoqahiakMay 18, 20172 votes

Stay safe.

Monsieur KastMay 18, 20171 votes

We refer to summoner spells as summs.

PROJECT KatarìnaMay 18, 20171 votes

and this item 2049

rtbf225618241May 18, 20171 votes

They're summs or we just say the whole thing. Helps with learning how to type faster i guess.

*pings aggressively to kill the 1/4 hp turret (with huge wave and expiring red buff to back that up)

*useless idiot bronzetard teammate walks back and forth without autoing the turret

*an enemy appears

*you get killed

*kayle ults the full hp garen

*adc that does a fuckton of damage gets engaged on because the tank randomly decided to step aside

*rift herald gets summoned by the jungler

*team thinks this is a good chance to go steal the jungle camps/recall while the jungler tries to kill turrets while the enemy isn't there

*jungler pings like a madman to cait to pop the blast cone behind baron

*order gets ignored

*enemy jungler uses the blast cone to jump in and smite-steals the baron

*gank a teammate

*enemy laner escapes with 1 hp because teammate didn't used one of his point and clicks

*go to gank a teammate

*since he's a bronze sack of garbage he ignores the existence of wave manipulations and also ignores your order to push the wave so you can either towerdive or force the wave to crash back . . . [GOOD JOB PINGING ON THE TEAMMATES INTENSIFIES]

I get what you mean ("good job" ping would probably be abused to mean "wtf"), but it's not like adding a "good job" ping will increase the frequency of this. I mean, "MIA" ping already does this anyway, so adding "GJ" wouldn't really make this worse..

ItsOrvalMay 17, 20175 votes

Wow thats actually a good idea. I know i miss a few cs sometimes because I type "thanks" or "gj" to my jungler when he ganks. Thatd make it easier tbh. I can also see it being the new MIA ping tho for when someone dies they ping Good Job on them. Im fine with that though beens now I wont have to look at my map for where the mia is when its just someone pinging it on a person who died.

GULAG 4 UMay 17, 20171 votes

I thought you were a toxic flamer so that would benefit you? You get to flame with MIA and GJ now.

ItsOrvalMay 18, 20171 votes

How am I toxic flamer lmao. Because I got 1 account banned when it had 1 warning on it? Take your butthurt agenda to Tumblr.

GULAG 4 UMay 18, 20171 votes

It was a joke. You openly said you were toxic and you like ruining low elo games.

ItsOrvalMay 18, 20171 votes

It is fun smurfing in low elo lol. Not gonna deny that. Every time you beat someone in lane in low elo they immediately think the champion youre using is broken.

GULAG 4 UMay 18, 20171 votes

That's nothing new lol. I do enjoy people salting in all chat when I shit on them with Aatrox too.

JaxMoonStealerMay 18, 20175 votes

There's a ping in Smite which has your god say "You rock!" to your whole team. Oh boy, every time I get caught in the jungle and die or anything similar.

"You rock! You rock! You rock! Nice job! You rock! You rock! You rock! Woohoo!"

PePsiLemoNNMay 18, 20175 votes

''Warded'' ping would be useful too.

MadamJayMay 18, 20171 votes

That is a Great Idea!

FilDaFunkMay 17, 20173 votes

If it has a nice sound when spammed, I'd quite like it.

iahim98May 17, 20173 votes

I like the idea, as people say is prob gonna be used like the ? ping, but if its still used in half the cases for an actual gj, then its doing its job properly. And would definitely help me, as I type most of the time with one hand (cause of the way I stay on my laptop), which causes me to miss cs or missclick more times then I like while I try to chat.

TEA Nietzsche May 18, 20173 votes

I can't wait to play support and ping "GJ" on every minion my ADC misses.

ˉˉˉˉˉˉMay 18, 20173 votes

fail flash

Good Job Good Job Good Job Good Job Good Job Good Job

Yeah no thanks.

Laxfan52May 18, 20173 votes

People would probably just use it for when team mates mess up

UnboundHadesMay 17, 20172 votes

you know typing gj takes less than a second so there really isn't a reason not to if your teammate did well

MadamJayMay 17, 20173 votes

I understand that, but I don't type in chat I personally lose focus. Sometimes things happen when you're in mid play. I just don't see why not. Like I said before people are already misusing the ? Ping. So why can't we have a positive ping, the ? Ping is being used a social negative.

I understand that, but I don't type in chat I personally lose focus.

PhoenixOfHeavenMay 17, 20172 votes

No Way! Not only could it easily be the new MIA ping, being used sarcastically, but it means SO much more to say it yourself. Clicking a button to congratulate people seems wrong. A simple GJ is never hard to type.

TormentulaMay 17, 20172 votes

This would remind me of smite's pings.

feeds their enemy midlane

Zeus: Ok! Zeus: Awesome! Zeus: Awesome! Zeus: Awesome! Zeus: Nice Job! Bakasura: I'm the greatest! Zeus: Cancel That! Amaterasu: Quiet Amaterasu: Please? Zeus: No! Bakasura: No!

the weeabooMay 17, 20172 votes

I know for a fact it'd just be toxic, and used as sarcastic for when someone fucks up.

source: play Dota 2 where they spam "Well played!" ping when you fuck up

Even if you use it correctly they will probably take it the wrong way and get butthurt like the MIA ping.

just typing "gj" is too hard?

SkorchMay 18, 20172 votes

Another benefit as since this is just a social ping and not a gameplay ping, it would replace MIA being the toxic ping. Meaning MIA is legitimate again

dEAdbUsMay 18, 20172 votes

It was discussed years ago. It will be used as sarcastic ping.

Skins ProjectMay 18, 20172 votes

Somebody escapes with 5 hp, you missed the easy cleanup, you missed a jinx ult that would have executed, you land a bad bard ult, your a support and you die to save someone, you get towerdived and they get out healed.

Good Job

Serika ZeroMay 18, 20172 votes

No. Pings are supposed to get your attention.

So, stuff like: an enemy is missing an enemy is heading your way the enemy has vision around here the enemy you face is feed etc

If you want to tell someone they did a good job. You don't need a sound for it, if you REALLY want to do it sound wise, ask for their skype and have a voice/video chat. Otherwise, do the normal thing, and type: gj

TriKrakatoaMay 19, 20172 votes

yea actually then you wouldn't have to type it and they would be more likely to see it, for example in teamfights most people can not type enter gj enter and get their hands back to qwer fast enough that they don't lose valuable time during the teamfight and might get hit or miss something, but pinging is super fast and easy and doesnt require you to change your hand positioning

JebronMay 18, 20171 votes

It will take you just as long to use the hotkey for pinging good job that it will for you to hit enter > type gj > enter again

CochoMay 18, 20171 votes

But what happens when people spam good job on a teammate when they make a bad play and die.

MadamJayMay 18, 20171 votes

I do like the controversial feedback. I just thought of something, when I'm in a game and some people ping MIA, I get confused if I wasn't aware of what was going on in that moment.

Which means I rather they use a Good JOb PING Sarcastically then MIA.

MadamJayMay 18, 20171 votes

I already am laughing at the idea someone saying "Good Job Ping" sarcastically. I honestly rather have that then a "?" Ping that tilts me is so rude, and it is also confusing when I wasn't aware of what was happening.

macromiteMay 18, 20171 votes

Can we also have a "You're a fucknut" ping because if these don't get implemented together then that's what we end up with.

theracodyMay 18, 20171 votes

The new minigame, when a teammate pings you and you're not sure if they're being sarcastic or not

LiteTheNiteSkyMay 18, 20171 votes

that would be awesome!

MadamJayMay 18, 20171 votes

I just think that it's a game and new features is always going to be nice to have. Even if it's irrelevant it would be nice to be able to ping a Good Job or Warded.
