The Ping System is GARBAGE

[Chaosolous]

EDIT: THIS IS NOT ABOUT THE PING MENU. It's about the ping system aiming mechanics. It is trash and NEVER targets the correct thing. I am NOT accidentally using the ping menu. I am aware of how pinging works. That is WHY I am bringing it up.

Why are we not talking about this more? I'm not talking like internet connections, I'm talking the press the middle mouse ping.

It's absolutely trash. I have on so many occasions gone to ping an Iron Man in the sky or a Spiderman flanking us and instead of OBVIOUSLY pinging the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ thing I'm looking DIRECTLY AT, the game is like "Hey! I can heal you! I can heal you!" (I mean healer).

Or it'll ping something on the ground like the mission area, when I'm not looking at the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ground, the mission area just happens to be in front of me, even though I'm CLEARLY LOOKING UP.

This ping system is absolutely, 100% the worst ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ping system in creation.

Trash.

For sure needs to be updated. Never had issues pinging stuff in Apex or OW2
but this game i can look right at something and it will just ping something random that is closer to me or mark it wrong. Feels harder to do when in battle and you wanna quick ping a back liner or a sky raisin

Did y'all skip the tutorials? Double click forces a "LOOK AT THIS ENEMY" ping to happen.

Yes. Everyone skips tutorials.

That should not be the way it functions but thanks for sharing.

I'll try it out next time I play.

happens to me a lot of times when i want ping enemy location but it pings completly different instead.

I need healing!
I need healing!
I need healing!
"Too many attempts..."

There has been so many times I'm trying to ping enemies and I keep saying "I need healing" instead so I just look like I'm complaining about heals

I don't want to say "look over here". I want it to target the enemy I'm generally pointing at with one click which is the intention of the tool.

Also, double click ping is another pretty common way of dealing with things.

MR really have just done a bad job with the ping system, or the default settings are just ass.

It is definitely listed in the controls under communication. Spray is listed under Social.

Trash.

You can adjust the sensitivity of the targeting priority for it in the options.


This thread is full of people that didn't explore the options thoroughly enough.
