EtansAMilker 3 Posted November 7 Share Posted November 7 I think that the pinging system helps just about anybody convey very quickly to the team what they are thinking, or if they need help (especially if they are unable to speak English). I think a ping requesting to ward/counterward would be a great addition to the HoN ping system. It would also be great potentially for mentors training someone new with ward pings to help teach spots and the like. Maybe this could be added to the ping wheel?

Manu311 89 Posted November 10 Share Posted November 10 No idea why I haven't seen this suggested before (or thought of it myself). The only "problem" with it I have is it being a little bit hard to see the exact ping location (for mentoring), but that's still a lot better than nothing . Link to post Share on other sites
EtansAMilker 3 Posted Sunday at 01:14 PM Author Share Posted Sunday at 01:14 PM True! It would be easier to use in-game with your team mates, leaving an icon behind like the other pings. Maybe this one can stay for an extended period of time? Perhaps for mentors it would only be usable onscreen rather than from the minimap. Link to post Share on other sites
MacroHard 144 Posted Sunday at 05:07 PM Share Posted Sunday at 05:07 PM Best suggestion I've seen in a long time. Let's hope it is possible to recode with the existing resources. Seems like it would need new voice acting. Toxicity breeds toxicity. Break the cycle. Link to post Share on other sites
MacroHard 144 Posted Sunday at 07:48 PM Share Posted Sunday at 07:48 PM (edited) So I've been thinking more about this. Looking at the current ping wheel, there are only 4 sides used of the main ping pentagon. This intuitively would allow an entire ward section. The primary button could announce "Enemy ward here" while the offshoot buttons could say "Need ward of sight here", "need ward of revelation here", etc. If a 5th button isn't possible, the "Fight here!" option seems to be a catch all for strategic positioning events. It currently has only one offshoot, which says "coming to help here". Two others could easily* be added for "enemy ward here" and "need ward of sight here". * edit: "easily" refers to the design aspect not the programming difficulty Edited Sunday at 07:50 PM by MacroHard formatting and disclaimer Toxicity breeds toxicity.

Diabetis 10 Posted 18 hours ago Share Posted 18 hours ago also make an option to disable pings completely, not only the ping announcer, also the ping itself, it's super annoying and limiting the pings isn't enough. Link to post Share on other sites
