Like everyone else, I do agree finding the pings is hard. It usualy takes me about 4ish seconds to find the ping, thats actually a long time to react to some pings . Need to find a way to half that amount of time searching for them especially when multiple heroes are over it.

The map has quite a few different zoom variations, and an option that could be toggled (to avoid the abuse of spamming in public games), would be for the minimap to zoom into the pinged area to a degree and then zoom back to the orginal size. If multiple pings were made the limit could be to encompass both pings.

Of course the issue would arise if the pings where in far enough locations that the zoom was barely noticeable. If this were to happen, perhaps it's possible to picture in picture the minimap for a brief period of time. The idea's rough, but I'm sure somone who's had experience could flesh it out and make it easy to comprehend with multiple map resizing and merging.

P.S. Another option would be zoom duration, for example 2 seconds between the zoom in and zoom out.

+1 yellow is just a bad color against the background of the minimap.

Agree!

Since there is the function to zoom on the minimap, I think pigeon's idea would be really really neat.

+1 to redoing the ping effect. Finding the location of the ping takes me on average 3 seconds, and a champion can die in that amount of time.

I don't like the idea of having my minimap forcefully zoomed in, I might be wanting to chase someone and having my minimap view taken away from potentially where I want it to be is not a great idea. The colour of the ping needs to be changed to see who has pinged, even a little thing above the minimap [ping sent by zellogs] etc in text format would be a step forward. Definatly do not take my minimap to the ping and zoom it in though. Colour change sounds good though
