I get in a match, and our Sova (whose IGN is Aqua) probably had some macro or whatnot, since he managed to spam a massive amount of pings ( he would spam the "weapon on the ground" pings ). This literally kills our team's fps. I hope Riot finds a fix for this.
Thanks to Sova's Ping Spam it would go as low as 6 FPS
External link →This is being addressed in the upcoming patch by rate limiting. Additionally, in the patch after, we've made some performance optimizations so pings don't dip your a framerate when they happen.
Thanks for reporting! The best places for these are the bug megathread which we view often. New threads are actually more likely to get missed than the bug megathread. (as /u/PankoKing already noted)
Will muted teammate's pings still be played?
We're looking at what we can do there as well. It would be a separate change from the two changes I mentioned.
What would you like to see there personally? Should be tied to muting someone on Voice? Should it be it's own separate mute?
Disclaimer: I'm a Software Engineer not the one who's making UX decisions but I have chatted with them about it.
I would suggest limiting the amount of ping in a certain period of time to prevent abuses like we are seeing (more and more) in the past days from trolls. Also, tie the ping mute to the chat muting option would be great!
Edit: If you really read this message, I hope you guys will add a battlepass to purchase, it would be something worth to survey in my opinion =)
I do really read this! I don't work on the battlepass stuff but I'll pass the feedback along.
Personally, I usually believe in the more customization you can offer the players and the more control over their experience the better. So I would like to see the ability to totally mute voice, text, and ping chats from specific teammates. I also understand the need to keep things from getting too cluttered and confusing so wouldn't be too upset to see the ping get rolled into a voice chat mute. Because in my experience the people who are worth VC muting are not normally making callouts in a constructive manner and it's unlikely they would be using the ping system for it's intended purpose.
I tend to believe in a toggle for more in depth stuff like this tho, that can be turned off by default (the simpler version) and purposefully turned on by players that want more control over their experience.
Or you could just implement a system that ignores repeated pings or gives players chat cooldowns if it detects the use of a hotkey.
Yeah I share you opinion here. It's definitely a balance of making it understandable + giving players control.
