Pinging is dog water?

[YEEIZ]

Just me or the pinging is poo poo? Im pressing the dam button to ping and its requesting heals or anything but actually pining. I even added the ping wheel delay on but the it just doesnt ping enemies straight away. Wrong settings or something?

It depends on where your crosshair is. If it's over a strat, its going to request healing or if you are the strat it'll say i can heal, if your over an enemy it'll ping an enemy, and if you ping on the floor or wall it'll let them know somethings over there.

yeah its trash, I try to ping a flanker and it just spams my ult status or some sh like that and I end up not being able to ping again

I find it easier to just double press the ping button to mark the general location of the enemy vs the enemy themselves. Otherwise I just get the same problem you have. It also seems easier to ping what you want if you do it without moving. Pinging definitely needs work.

You need to ping by tapping it. If you hold it longer and drag it becomes a wheel command.

[Mr. Figgles]

There's advanced ping settings where you can change the delay for the wheel to show up and also increase the size of where it'll count as an enemy spotted ping.

[Mister Father]

Yup, it sucks. Janky Rivals for ya.

I do tap the ping and even rebinded the key

[ToxicPhreak]

Default ping is ridiculous for sure. Literally standing still clicking ping on an enemy and 40% of the time it just spams "heal me heal me" smh. I think I'm going to rebind as well.

[Chaosolous]

Yeah, I've been making threads ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ about it since launch.

I'm pretty sure NetEase has no idea how to actually make a sensible system.

[bradams]

Its really bad. The fact that if your mouse moves literally at all when trying to ping it overwrites it to say something stupid.

My workaround has been to switch all 4 parts of the wheel to just be "caution" so even if it does screw up, it at least gets the point across that SOMETHING is where I'm trying to ping.

[Chaosolous]

It's not just bad, it's LITERALLY the worst ping system I have ever seen.

You're spot on.

I've lost track of the number of times I've been in team chat saying "sorry y'all, I dont actually need heals, I'm just trying to ping an enemy and it's too damn precise for it's own good"

They need to loosen it up by a considerable amount. Anyone who says otherwise just doesn't use ping frequently enough to realize how bad it is.
