The only thing I disagree with is missing a "few" options.

I'd say Quick chat is quite useless in its current iteration outside of tagging a single target and chat spam.

If an enemy is coming around the side instead of going through mid? No chat option for that.

If you're getting ganked in the back line? No chat option for that.

If you're going to go help someone? Cover is the only option and it's bad.

If you want to assist someone or coordinate LBs? LB ready isn't enough.

If you want tell someone to help someone else while you hold the point? Nothing.

If you want to tell the team to conserve LB for the oncoming zerg rush? Nothing.

Of you want to warn the team about a field effect? Nothing. (Perfect opportunity for Danger Bongos)

If you want to tell the team to play defense for a bit? Nada.

If you want to explain that there's 4 people on the point and there's no point going in to die? Nothing but listening to "push the crystal" sfx spam (something like "there's too many" or something would go a long way here).

I get that the matches go by quick and you won't be able to perfect strategize but the sheer lack of tools to coordinate make it where I can understand why people want full chat even if I disagree. You can't time your LBs with someone outside of a generic LB ready, you can't coordinate pincer attacks, you can't even tell them why you're leaving the crystal to help the people who are getting rocked behind you by the nin/mnk/etc. It's really difficult to coordinate when everyone in the room thinks they're the leader and that the rest of the team is "abandoning them" or "not doing their job" when there's a reason you leave or retreat 9 times out of 10. I know part of that is on the other people but the lack of options is bad too.
