why are people mad about the ping changes

i mean sure they could've handled it better by turning off pings after spike plant but if it works and postplants arent smoke spray fest i legit don't care

Anti-braindead smoke spam users.

bc they're silver

bronze players and permamutes in shambles

because it makes igl harder but that only really applies to pro play and a tiny percentage of players so we'll see how much of an effect it has when it actually gets added

Getting rid of map pings are dumb asf. Now i might as well scroll on my phone after dying instead of helping.

Iron 1 here. This change is for the better of the game and needed to happen. I understand people being upset but it does not mean the change did not need to happen.

W iron 1 player

in bronze and no one pings the spike anyways

im fine with the smoke changes, but its annoying not seeing map pings physically in game.

Ppl are mad at this not bc they are low ranked Its just bc it is hard for a team to have all 5 players constantly comming to their team
Having ping is way easier for comp games especially in EU and PAC servers cause not everyone uses english as their game language and sometimes they dont know the callouts (EG I heard examples from apac players talking abt they pinging places for the teammates to smoke off the bat for plays)

bc instead of fixing the shit maps now you are forced to play in worse positions, you are now pretty much forced to play on site for Sunset and Peral long, which is good, but taking pings out was not the method.

fixing a map isn't as easy as you people make it out to be one little change can cause so much shit not even including bugs agent interactions comps how you defend and attack and where you play so they need to solve big problems with small changes they can test before people go crazy

one change to fix valorant's biggest problem right now is 100% worth it guess what it legit doesn't matter what happens to ranked it will always be shit no matter what happens legit zero games have a good ranked system because you can't make it every single player has there own way of playing and wanting to do things

They're trying to solve the problem of killing through smokes, wallbangs, and post-plant spam with a change that affects more than just those areas. It's now gonna be a lot harder to do things like throw omen flashes, communicate with the team, etc.

if they just made it so you cant ping when your dead i think it would be way better overall and would still nerf the smoke spamming strat significantly

Its a band-aid change, half the people under radiant dont know the common callouts for each map, the simplest one is for ascent when you say "tiles" or "subroza" they wont get it.
