League of Legends is a team-based multiplayer online battle arena game from Riot Games in which players use on-screen pings to communicate quickly without voice chat. The assist me ping lets a player flag a location and request help, and its short sound has become familiar to millions of players through ranked matches, streams, and gameplay videos. Outside matches, creators reuse it as a shorthand for asking for backup, so even viewers who do not play the game can read the joke from the context of a clip.
