New ping

Maybe Riot can add an additional ping to the current pings. I was thinking like a "warded" ping That would help teammates know if a Bush is warded by an enemy.

I actually really like this idea. What do you all think about a "place a ward here" ping? I feel like as a support player, I'd like to help my marksman know where we'd like more vision, but I feel like it might be too bossy. (also I'm in Silver, so it's a bit more of a thing at my division)

List of new pings you could add, making it a 8 parts Roulette instead of 4.

-Warded here.

-Ward here.

-Group Up (the Assist me one is better/more often used to ask for lane cover, gank, objective control, etc.)

-Going in.

These are all really good pings. They would be relevant due to the fact that for each situation you wouldn't want to type the entire message out and ping a location.

I agree with all of these. I would change the "Warded Here" to just "Warded", and keep the other as "Ward Here". I think separating them into one and two words helps with immediate visual recognition of which one is meant. I could easily see somebody seeing a ping for a split second and then looking away and not really noticing which one of the two was pinged.

Just an idea for clarity

Instead of going in you should put

-engage

Yes please,this will make a better communication in Solo Q,specially.

i like the going in ping a lot that would be useful for team fights and the bot and jungler

NovaFoxJun 20, 20141 votes

Yes i'd agree with alllll of this. a warded and ward here ping would be a great addition to these. it may possibly help place a bit more encouragement for vision control. the only issues i see with this is that riot will have to create 2 more distinctive tones and icons for this, but it shouldnt be anything that they cannot handle

WhimcryJun 20, 20141 votes

I don't really know about the going in one because I just use the target ping, and group up I just use the regular ping and ping like 5 times. But the ward ones would be useful since I main adc lol.

HemiPoweredDroneJun 19, 20143 votes

I'd totally agree with that one. I always seem to need to remind the ADC to use their trinket. -_-

SteenQueenJun 19, 20145 votes

Wow u really like my idea?! It just popped up in my mind.

Kitch26Jun 19, 20143 votes

You'll find a lot of people like this particular idea. We've been asking for it for a while now

It is a good idea.Help junglers and supports in general

Yes, it's very annoying to see my ADC wasting his/her trinket in the river bush versus a jungler who can't dash in it over the wall, when I've drake and tribush covered. Especially if he/she whines about the bottom bush being in the dark afterwards.

There should be a different ping menu for 'v' ang 'g', one warning for wards, the other asking for one. Instead of 'danger', for example, which is more or less equivalent to bare 'v'.

I don't think it's as useful as "Danger! Warded!" kind of ping. In low tiers, it definitely comes off as bossy, and in high tiers I don't think people need to be told where to ward.

ThiloughNAJun 19, 20148 votes

In low tiers, it definitely comes off as bossy

Who cares? We can't take time every game to type and explain how where wards are the less redundant/more efficient. They learn faster with bossy pings than nothing. Also less text explanation usually means less flame if the person is prone to that behaviour.

Something that would be great with that "warded" ping would be the time of it. If you could, via ping, tell if its a 1, 2, 3 min ward or even a Pink.

Actually, I think there are lots of "pings" that are needed. There are some suggestions already like the images attached, but i dont think even that would be enough.

Even though I didnt like Smite so much, I really enjoyed the Voice Guided System, which allows you to type a quick command (eg VG2 for "Gank mid lane", or VAT2 for "Attack mid tower"). This helps a lot dealing with toxic behaviour, since you can mute the toxic player and still communicate VERY well with this premade messages.

Hope you guys at riot give us players some feedback about this new pings, this is something we all want and need, especially for SoloQ.

CupcakeTrapJun 20, 20141 votes

I think the most important ping would be the "enemy ward" ping. Not only for tracking wards, but, e.g., to answer an "on my way" gank-ping with a warning that the river is warded.

KAC5 SoulStealerJun 20, 20142 votes

You are definitely not being too bossy.The new ping doesn't even have to be specific; it could be as generic as the "alert" ping. (ex:Ward) oh wait kitch26 just covered this

ThiloughNAJun 20, 201410 votes

Or we could have this.

BlackquillJun 22, 20141 votes

Even though this is just a joke, i think we all get the quintessence of this picture. You think that too many pings were superfluous and would hinder the gameplay. I agree.

I think I seen this suggestion before, but I agree.

How about adding locations of bushes when you ping them, like (Janna has targeted the river bush or has targeted the lane bush/tribush etc. the cursor already detects if it's in bush by changing color when you're about to place the ward in bush, so how about a similar thing like pinging the lane turrets/nexus turrets.

OrcSMASHJun 19, 20143 votes

I haven't been playing very long, but I have to say this makes alot of sense. I've even asked if there was a ward or going in ping, and I just missed it being that I'm newer to the game. Bumpity bump bump!

Lt CuddlesJun 21, 20142 votes

This is purely from a tank's point of view, but can you guys maybe build a setting that would allow every 3 auto attacks or so on an enemy champ would then put a target ping over them? I only ask because I find it difficult to ping whilst pinning down carries to ping to my team that they must act. Maybe its silly, but I think it would be a helpful addition to the game.

it's a Perfect idea all i can say !

i really like the idea there should be morethen enough space for at most two mor pings right?

ZackRolloJun 20, 20141 votes

How about different roulette for those two pings? Like usual missing, danger, assist me, on the way on one and the new ping on another

TwinkletoesKatJun 20, 20141 votes

I think a "enemy warded here ping" would be good, but a "ward here" ping maybe not so much. It's not to much to quickly tell a team member to ward in chat. I fully support the idea though (:

VargasTheElderJun 22, 20141 votes

There was a leak of a new ping system coming with a whole new set of pings

IamaNewbyJul 14, 20141 votes

Dont hate but I play dota and lol and in dota when you hold y you get a six dialed thing that you can set to say different things such as "Missing!" or "Care" or "We need wards" and "Warding". I think that would be awesome but in ping way where you have a list of things to choose from to set as pings.
