Viewing In-Game Latency
To see your latency—or "ping"—press Ctrl+F while you're in-game. If you'd like to rebind this shortcut, go to Options > Hotkeys > Display > Toggle FPS Display. Experiencing lag? Try our Basic Connections Troubleshooting.
Smart Ping is a radial menu that includes eight alerts. These can be used to communicate complex strategies with your team faster—and more safely—than typing.
Smart Ping Wheel
Open up the ping wheel by holding down Alt or Ctrl, then left-clicking. Select your desired ping by dragging your mouse in its direction and releasing the mouse button, or right-click to cancel. You can also use G for a simple ping, or V for a caution ping. All pings can be used on either the terrain or the mini-map.
Terrain and Mini-Map Visuals - Smart Pings
The rest of your team will hear a sound associated with your ping, and it will be visible on both the terrain and the mini-map before disappearing after a short time.

Objective Voting
You can initiate voting on whether or not your team should try to take major objectives like drake, Baron, and Rift Herald by pinging them. You may need to choose the All In ping if they haven't spawned yet. This not only displays your intentions, but helps get your team on the same page when deciding your next step at pivotal parts of the match.
