Please, let us write in chat!

Why can't we use the chat normally in pvp? I know it's to prevent toxicness, but come on, it's a team game and we can only solo queue into the match. How can we communicate with only commands? It's really annoying using the limited commands we have. I think we are all old enough to block someone, if someone is toxic in chat.
Please let us write in the pvp chat normally, don't punish the majority cause of a minority.

tbh, if we can chat in a pf duty. there is no reason to not be able to chat in pvp.
We can chat everywhere else. with the same people. but not in pvp.
People have the option to be toxic everywhere.

The honest answer?

Because it generates a high volume of support tickets. Every time something happens that generates a lot of support tickets, SE addresses it fast - it costs them a lot.

There's been a lot more pressure - mainly when it was first introduced - to revert quickchat. But they won't. Consider every time you've had someone spam "Hello" midmatch, or "nice job" or "good match". Then imagine that every time one of those people is in a game, on the old system it would generate at least one but very possibly several tickets. Then consider the manpower, and thus money, needed to investigate all of them, potentially take action against accounts, and of course, reply to all those tickets. And SE doesn't do automated report systems like virtually every other pvp game because they don't want to risk action against people that haven't done anything wrong (except in the eyes of the community) save to play an off meta class or such.

(Not saying I agree with it... but so it goes)

well, if they could at least add "target the ranged dps" "target the healer" options. without having to target them specifically

Alternatively, one of the ideas I've seen that I liked is - when someone uses the 'Attacking X' quickchat, but an icon over them. Essentially, bringing it together with the overhead markers system (but the quick chat ones could be temporary perhaps)

I'm going with a no. Imo, you barely need anymore communication than what's given, hell, I feel like we have too much useless ones.

The issue with this I feel like folks will all be spending time hooting and hollering and finger pointing while the other team makes their way to the point.

This game mode is way too high pace to stop and rant on and I already have heard Feast S1 stories. So no thanks, don't feel like hearing the your mom jokes, the Sweatlords screeching at me when we already have the passive aggressive "Good job" spammers. Sure I can report people being toxic but I really don't want to at every turn especially when I rank.

I wish I could block chat completely tbh.
Just my 2c on it.

I disagree completely. In fact, remove quick chat and the ability to mark your team. The extremely low chance someone actually uses non-marker callouts is not worth suffering "Good match! Good match! Good match!" from someone who just dived 1v5 with no defensive cooldowns.

Alternatively I spam Good Match! when my warrior rushes in at the start of the game and dies in 2 gcds without pressing so much as a recuperate or guard. That level of return to monke isnt gonna get better when they res.

If they insist on forcing quick chat, I would also like a "stop feeding the enemy team" button, since "fall back and retreat" doesn't get through to most people. Everyone thinks they're a superhero that can take on the whole team by themselves, and then you're guaranteed to lose because the other team always has the upper-hand.

My favorite is when players chase an enemy through the backline. Had a team where 3 of my teammates chased this dude and then when the enemy team respawned those 3 were nowhere near the crystal and now its a 4v2 clean sweep....thanks, hope you all enjoyed killing that 1 lone player in the backline that was zero threat to anyone.
