PvP Ping Exploit

​

Within PvP exists the Enemy Highlight Ping, this Ping can be massively exploited and abused with ease. I do not believe this was an intentional design by the devs, but the same pinging system of PvE attached to PvP without thorough testing, an oversight. This Exploit has become more widespread and as time passes it will continue to plague the PvP enviroment. 
How the ping exploit works.

• Enemys red name must be visible, the game is sometimes buggy enough that an enemys red name can appear through walls.
• Pinging a visible enemy will last 1.4 seconds, highlighting the enemys position and movement for you and your team.
• This highlighted ping can be extended for far longer by ping spamming the highlighted enemy.
• Timing the Ping allows on average 10-15+ seconds of what is essentially wallhacks, without the enemy knowing.
• There is no justification for this Exploit to remain as is.

In my video I highlight just a few scenarios in which this Exploit can be used in PvP combat. It allows a player and their team to drastically change the tide & flow of combat to thier favor. Another more extreme example is the Highlight Ping in combination with the Confirmation Ping, theoretically a team could Highlight an enemy for an indefinite amount of time.

A fix I would suggest to the devs is to remove Enemy Highlight Pinging entirely. This would leave the Check Area Ping as the primary threat indicator for players to use, allowing players to indicate threats without leaving the enemy at a severe disadvantage. 

I urge the Devs to fix this Exploit as it is already becoming more widespread and ruining the PvP experience.
