End PING SPAMMING

People should not be able to ping spam "enemies" when they are downed nor their banned once their crated. The easy solution would be to limit the frequency at which you can ping, but really there sh...

Yeah really... I'll ping an enemy ONCE. If they're in sight, I only need to ping them once by pinging them directly with my reticle- not by double-tapping the ping button a billion times. (That's just for my settings perhaps)

But sometimes you have to use your own discretion for muting pings too. Like, sometimes I'll put a teammate on "timeout" and mute them for a bit- just to clear my head- then unmute them later on incase they calmed down a bit.

@StarMystro Totally agree. Yes if there's an enemy you actually only have to single-ping. An annoying thing too is something I've had in ranked a lot. I die, teammate dies, our 3rd dips to go get us better placement so save RP. The other killed teammate ping spams their banner cuz they're mad, and because I'm dead too I can't access the settings to mute them. They should probably add that in. Or if they want to get on the mic an harass our 3rd who's still alive. I cant mute them.

  Ah that's even worse-! I forgot you can't access the banners when you're dead in-game! I usually mute those constant banner pings too...

    Ping spamming does nothing but make it impossible to hear anything but the ping noise. Gets me killed all the time by covering game sounds so I can't hear enemy positions. A solution as stated above, have a timed cap on pings, if they ping 5 times immediately, disable pings for 5 seconds. Then 30 seconds, then 2 mins. Because seriously, just like quitting early there should be a penalty for this stupid childish behavior.
