Once again. You seem to be unable to grasp the difference between starting something that is stopped and stopping something that is started.
It relies on a specific program on your own router deliberately generating enough outbound traffic to cause itself a problem. Nobody is forcing it to do this and a firewall is the wrong place to mitigate this. It relies solely on the router being too stupid to realise it's overloading itself, and any decently programmed router will not be flawed in this way.
As you clearly don't understand the fundamental basis of how a "ping flood" works, I suggest you stop digging yourself into a deeper hole. Maybe go read up on how firewalls and ICMP actually works, and how any well-programmed router incorporates an ICMP responder with a built-in rate limiter by default

Yes, therein lies the problem.
