The new chat wheel now lets you put together a sort of chat loadout of your favourite phrases, picking from a bank of 26 fully-voiced lines for each hero. Keybinds can also be set up for lines that aren’t included on your current wheel setup, similar to the game’s current shortcuts for readying your ultimate or requesting healing.
Still. In the time since Overwatch hit the scene, we’ve seen steller voice-less comm tools likeApex Legends' ping system. More lines definitely broaden the wheel’s usage, but I’d be keen on seeing some experiments that bring more interactive play into Blizzard’s chat tools.
The update is currently live over on the Overwatch Public Test Realm, with a full rundown of everything that’s changed over on thePTR patch notes. That includes, funnily enough, the client’s new feature for showing patch notes in-game.
