but despite me giving out decent communicationUnless you ' re communicating with VOIP as a premade or something , you shouldn ' t presume your team mates are noticing your pings . This assumes your teammates will be looking at the minimap , or their brain isn ' t overly focused on something . I regularly play with my game muted for example , or without my headphones , and can end up missing out on pings . Point is , it ' s best to ping right on top of them , as in where they are standing so it ' s easier to see . Don ' t hesistate to ping hard and many times over as well . Maybe even type in chat after you feel you got their attention . Won ' t bother nobody . As a jungler , one thing you can do as well is tell your team about your guesses as to where the enemy jungler is heading . For example if your top laner is overextending on the screen , and you feel the enemy jungler is going to head there soon due to information you ' re aware off , ping on top of them and say so in chat or something . Finally , if you decide to be lazy , and just ping that your laner is missing on the minimap on your lane , you should at the very least spam ping it . When you ' re tired or tilted , it ' s easy to ignore 1 or 2 pings , but it ' ll be difficult to ignore many . As to what you should do if they roam in terms of macro play , it depends .
