excessive pings

[Fijut]

does anyone else get annoyed at those people who insist on pinging you about 10 times in a row for stuff? really gets on my nerves, would be great if they disabled the ping sound if it's used more than 4 or 5 times in less than 10 seconds :(

can be really patronising when your typical ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ carry pings you constantly for accidently killing a creep

Yes.

This is why we need a system like that.

There are a few situations where pinging like crazy would be understandable (although still annoying) but mostly it's just irritating.

Situations where spamming isn't that bad (but still annoying):
- Pudge going to gank but the lane isn't responding at all.
- You are tanking a tower that's low but your team backs off (no enemies that can stop you nearby).

Spamming where it's super annoying:
- Pinging like crazy into fog without saying why.
- Pinging an under-attack tower that they want you to defend.
- Spamming it on Rosh instead of saying 'let's Rosh' or something
- and more.

Well you're not pinging the same place over and over for no reason so I'd say helpful but maybe slightly irritating depending on how much you ping to make the 'path'.

Edit: But yeah unless they are fleeing in the wrong direction (e.g. at a tower they'll never reach instead of a nearby team mate who is coming to assist and will be able to fight whoever is chasing), I have to agree with the post below me. I once had someone trying to get me to run at one of our towers when I was at low hp with a Nyx (with haste) after me. I didn't do as he wanted cause I would never have made it and instead hid and tp'd to safety. He started raging that I didn't do as he said. =/

annoying and kinda insulting the intelligence of your teammates, often people spam this kind of ♥♥♥♥ when its obvious
