“Ping, Ping, Ping!”, “Attention, get out of here!” Your teammates annoy you in LoL with annoying signals? Now you can do something about it.
In League of Legends, you can communicate with your teammates in various ways. You can use the chat and write to others or choose the quicker option and communicate with signals. The signals stand out visually and audibly and have different meanings such as “Go away”, “Attention, my opponent is missing” or “I am on my way”.
Players who have issues with attention and apparently spam these pings without reason can quickly become annoying. At this point, there is good news for you – you can now mute the pings of individual players – all types!
Mute Pings
With the new button in the game “Mute Signals”, you can put an end to the normal, smart, and the new interface pings. You will find the function in the TAB menu right next to the mute button.
Muting the chat works as usual and blocks the chat as well as all unplanned emotes and animations. To block all communication, you must press both buttons.
Improvement of the On the Way Feature
For the players among you who like to use the ping feature, there is also positive news. To better agree on the next objective, the “On the Way Signal” will be revised and will sound a harmonious tone sequence. Imagine the following situation as an example:
You have won a team fight and ping the tower as the next objective with the On the Way signal. However, your jungler believes that now is the right time to kill the dragon. Fortunately, your supporter agrees with you and also signals with “on the way” that they want to attack the tower. The second signal now triggers a new sound effect that creates a melody with the first signal.
This melody can be extended five times and scales with the team’s pings. The function is still being worked on. However, there is already a preview in the video:
Surrender at 20 15
Surrendering after just 15 minutes of gameplay is now possible. If a game is really looking bad and your team has no motivation to wait for a regular end, you can now surrender five minutes earlier. However, for the 15-minute surrender, the entire team must agree.
Surrendering after 15 minutes is now available in all queues (except for the game mode rotation). It is considered a surrender, meaning a defeat, of the game. Not a “remake”.
Better communication in LoL? Riot is already testing an in-game voice chat
