Ping system imo is one of the few things blizzard has done recently that is a major improvement on the game.
I am certain we all can draw realistic conclusions as to what the pings mean, because they’re dynamic and the things we are pinging in battlegrounds have been the same map objectives since the maps came out. I’m counting who to kill first as an objective in this sense too. It’s always been the play to kill or cc healers. So if I ping a healer and someone ccs or kills it, I’m fine with either outcome.
Ping system is in itself the universal language of combat communication. Beyond that, it allows players to focus on gameplay and less on typing.
Ok you all be good. I gotta go to work now. Bakers gotta bake!
