Can we add a new ping or two

Dear Rito.

My 2 favorite summoner spells are Heal and Clarity. I find they are the best way to support your team mates. I play ARAM almost exclusively and stopping to type in Heal in 10 or HEAL HERE or MANA HERE can be very dangerous. Could we get a green ping and a blue ping added so that I can alert my teammates that I want to heal them or regen their mana? I think people would catch on fast and move towards the pings of they needed them

Meh about the Heal/Mana pings, I guess they could work for Aram.

They should, however, add an "Enemy ward" ping for SR, it's the same principle as the buffs timer, you should be able to have an alternative to ping and type "Enemy ward" or "warded".

Play the game, don't fight it.

Considering Heal's a targeted spell now, I'm not entirely sure how a ping would be helpful there. As for a Clarity ping, it runs into the same concerns as a "Warded" ping. They're both map-specific pings that are essentially useless everywhere else. Wards only exist on SR, and Clarity isn't even considered on any map besides Howling Abyss.

Jannas R for example..

Teammates are kinda dumb when they see their "support" pings on her/himself 20x times..

Heal/Mana ping wouldn't be bad.

My point was that a "Health here" ping would be too specific, since Janna's currently the only champ that might use it. "Health/Mana here" ping would be a little better, but still incredibly niche in its usage.

A major problem is that you either need to have the ping be useful everywhere or come up with corresponding pings for every mode. Otherwise, the ping wheel becomes frustrating to use when you have to fight muscle memory because "Oh, there's seven ping choices on this map, but only four on this one."
