"Mark" system confirmed o.0

Discussion

As you may know, in the last Predecessor tease we can see some kind of "mark" system. The one we can see is like a fist in a red square.

After Smokie confirmation, it seems like it will be some kind of mark system in the game in order to set priorities in fights. I think this is a great addition to the game and a nice and an amazing step to promote coordination in teamfights (especially for teams with no voice-chat).

I have some questions that come in to my mind:

  • What kind of marks will be in the game? (focus, protect/heal, danger...?)
  • Everyone in the team will be able to mark? (I guess so) If yes, which mark prevail over another? Can trolls use this tool to "delete" the correct mark and ping another foe just for trolling again, again and over again?
  • Due to no HUD in the tease, it will be visible in minimap?

What do you think about how this system it will be?

By other side, thanks Omeda to bring us back a true improved Paragon successor. Can't wait to see what else do you have for us.

Cheers!

Great post, thanks for this!

I’d love if they just keep it simple; press it once to mark a location, and press it twice to say there’s an enemy or danger. I would love it if they would add a customisable radial wheel of pings, but I feel like that would clash with the VGS system they currently have in place and would maybe feel unnecessary. Good addition overall though!

I do want to add though that on the other hand, a ping wheel would be an easy way for them to add in a bunch of new comm options without messing up the VGS system.

My experience in MOBAS is that people are angry and have no idea what they're doing lol. It should be fun seeing someone constantly mark the wrong target and call me an idiot.

I.e., the frontliner

why must we focus the frontliner

To me the marks are kind of silly. I know it will be beneficial to new players but learning what targets to attack or not to attack is something you will pickup in time. I don't think it should be mandated by the game. Maybe it will be togglable?

Lol. Come to a discussion thread and express your view. Get downvoted with no replies. I love reddit.

You didn't read the post thats why. It's not the game suggesting priorities to you, it's something you can choose to activate and it shows your team your plan.

Unless I'm blind I don't see where it specifies the player or the game sets the mark.

It's implied by the use cases provided. It wouldn't make sense for the game to try and tell you who to focus target in a teamfight.
