League of Legends Community Divided Over Recent Changes to Ping System
In recent patches, Riot Games’ changes to the ping system in League of Legends have sparked a division among players. These changes include alterations to how certain pings work on teammate items, spawn timers, and abilities, as well as the removal of certain pings that some players are now searching for.
For instance, players on the League subreddit expressed their dissatisfaction with the addition of vision pings to the general communication wheel, while the “vision cleared” ping was completely removed. This has made it more difficult for players to communicate with their teammates in solo queue. (Youtube video: [insert URL])
Other players found that Riot’s changes were disrupting their muscle memory, as they were accustomed to the “vision cleared” ping being in the same spot on the wheel. This led to some mistakenly spamming the wrong ping. (Youtube video: [insert URL])
Despite the criticism, there were players who understood the reasons behind the changes. They acknowledged that the vision ping wheel was not being utilized to its full potential and expected the development team to consolidate the pings for easier access. (Youtube video: [insert URL])

While the community is divided, Riot Games has access to all the necessary data regarding the ping system.
