The entire idea of ping system is actually designed for all-in fights. It offers a competitive information throughput for those from solo-queue without Discord. They allow to immediately notify whom to focus, when to engage/disengage, where one plans to move, when is ult ready, etc. A ping can be easily issued even in a turmoil of battle, unlike chat messages.

Just because in all-in fights one wants to use all abilities, that still doesn't mean that one wants to spam'em at once/asap. It is because of a 'threat potential' proposed by an unused ability. Similarly to playing cards, it's similar to holding a card in hand without playing it.
