Pings not always working

Am I the only one who’s noticed that pings from the new ping beacon feature only work sometimes in certain maps? When I join Rec Center, there’s only a 50% chance that pings will work. They worked in one match of Make it to Midnight, but that was all.

Also note I’m talking about something different from the 3-ping limit where it’ll only allow you to place 3 pings before having to wait to place more.

Is this a bug? I feel like they wouldn’t intentionally make it randomized like this. My theory is that you need to be in a party for them to work in certain games, but I’m not sure.
