You could kind of use the caution sign for that

Wait guys, what does the purple question mark ping means actually?
Like I get that all other pings have their meanings and uses...but this purple guy here, it just being used by trollers or sometimes by players who are just trying to be an A.hole... Trust me, I played with this player, and the whole match was full of that fricking sound from the purple question mark ping, but he/she was just staying in our base, doing. absolutely. nothing!
But I do think that pings containing keywords could work well, like "WAIT" or "TARGET" would be easier to understand, but this would be hard to understand by non-English players to be honest.

Use it as a question, ping gold mine asking, are we going to go for it?
Ping when the enemy disappears from lane asking, where did they go?
Be a ******* and ping your teammates asking, WTF is wrong with you?
Ping the enemy brush to ask your support to face check
Etc

"No" pings would be nice. Currently I can use the OK ping but there's no HELL NO ping. The Danger ping just feels like "There's something dangerous there" and doesn't really have the HELL NO meaning to the people I play with

Man people are really on the fence right now. Most people say that we just need more specific pings while others are like all pings suck. Personally, although I feel like a chat system would be helpful in the higher ranks, they would just eventually degenerate into toxicity all around. More specific pings would be nice I guess although it might make things too complicated, and it would probably be pretty hard to add a bunch of new pings to the game.

I wouldn't mind more pings. A Clock Ping like you mention to indicate to your teamates what actives or abilities are on cooldown is a nice idea. Either more pings or they can implement cooldowns on the scoreboard. So for example, if you open the score board it can show what items are on cooldown so your team mates can decide if it's best to wait for your Captains items to be off cooldown before initiating a fight. I've seen some fights decided by a single Fountain.
