Smartping option to indicate enemy wards...

A smartping option to indicate enemy wards would be great. It would help laners communicate quickly to their jungler whether or not they are wasting their time sitting in a bush that is warded waiting to gank. It would also help communicate to people with sweepers where to use them.

The current Danger smartping can go, we already have the Careful/Caution ping, and Danger serves the same purpose. If it does go, they can replace it with the ward ping.

I think the biggest benefit of this would be to chat restricted players and with that it also would benefit their teams. Currently, to unambiguously tell someone that some position is warded you HAVE to use chat.

As a Support main, I approve.

right now you have to ping it, then type "ward there" or "ward" which sometimes leads to "I should ward there or there is a ward there?" ect.

Would be nice if i could just smart ping "enemy ward" or "ward" on a bush.

It would be intressting:

  • Targetting an area: Enemy ward has been placed in that area
  • Targetting an enemy ward: Enemy ward here
  • Targetting an ally ward: Ward in danger
  • Targetting an enemy champion: Enemy is missing an ward
  • Targetting an ally champion: Requesting assistance on clearing vision
  • Selftarget: I have no wards left

Also:

  • Targetting an area: Whe need a ward in this area
  • Targetting an ally ward: Our ward is almost expired
  • Targetting an enemy champion: Whe need vision over this champion
  • Targetting an ally champion: player A request vision from player B
  • Selftarget: I have wards left

I agree, any type of ward ping would be awesome, and yeah we don't need two different pings that more or less mean the same thing. They are interchangeable and redundant. RITO Please! :D

I wish there was a sort of Flag system. Like you ping somewhere to say an enemy ward is suspected to be there and your allies can see a small icon on the minimap and even in the game where you pinged until you remove it, but they can also remove it from their view themselves.

There was actually some ward ping icons a while back on the PBE, I don't know what happened to them though :I

Make one side like right side ward, then off of that is splits over to warded/needs a ward. This would give the most basic info that matters most. imo. also let the warded ping stay for 60 seconds, only 1 per player.
