MORE PINGS PLEASE! "Ward here!" "Enemy here!"

Seriously, it's not that hard to add an extra ping. The amount of times I have had to ping to my jungler as he is comming and try to quickly write "warded" in the hopes that he connects that:

  1. that was my ping.
  2. he reads chat.
  3. he sees the two and connects them.
  4. he moves out of the way.

It would be so much easier to just get a "Warded!" or "Ward is here!" ping. Also, it would be great to get a "enemy here" ping? There's a huge difference between knowing where the enemy is and telling someone to be careful. HUGE difference. When I ping someone in lane to be careful, or even when I ping someone in the jungle, or even when I ping IN a bush in the jungle for my teammates to know, that does not mean I am indicating that there is an enemy there. HOWEVER, pinging somewhere that there is an enemy there, now that's something I would like.

It's not hard to add another ping, true. But there's a cost to it.

Currently you don't have to be precise when using the Quick Ping feature -- just drag your mouse in one of the four cardinal directions on your monitor. That's a good thing.

Any additional pings we add to that menu reduce its ease of use in a panic situation.

A "warded" ping might be great, definitely. But I'd say you'd have to put it on a separate button from the quick-ping system. "Enemy here" is also a fantastic idea, but we've already got the "danger" ping and the "fall back / careful" ping, which I think have that design space pretty well covered. "Danger" could easily become "Enemy nearby."
