Another horrible decision on the devs to remove function to ping teammate

I was aware that this game now does not let you ping your teammates, and their reason for this is that it's used more often with negative intents. As much as this is true, they're "clever" enough to ban this function instead of thinking about why there are many negative pings.
We all know how terrible the punishment system in this game works. If you use ingame voice chat (which is very common and useful in mobas), you almost get instantly banned if someone reports you. There is no real human checking whether the ban is legitimate, and it's insulting enough that they show you a line of text that says you'll be punished for incorrectly reporting others. So what, they think an auto-ban system has more authority to a match than players themselves? An official staff from the game on Discord even said, just don't use ingame voice chat. Then why would you design this function in the first place if you allow it to be so easily abused? Such imcompetence.
The developers seem to believe that the game would automatically be healthy and joyful if there are no displayed critiques, when in fact they just get suppressed. A match can and WILL go wrong. Teamwork can and WILL go wrong. It's just unprofessional and silly to not let critiques be displayed.
