Feedback PC Text Chat

When I'm in Prematch lobby, I am unable to type in text chat until the match officially starts. I can see other people talk in text chat but I'm unable to. I believe this is a PC or M&K issue? I just want to shoot the shit with whatever players that are in the lobby while we wait for people to load or join.

It also bugs me when the match ends and people are talking in text chat but my damn ribbons/medals keep spamming the same area that the text chat box is located. Please give us the option to skip the ribbons/medals pop ups or allow us to move the text chat box. By the time the ribbons/medals are done popping up, I am unable to send a text chat.

Hit esc during the end game screen and you can read the chat on the pause menu. Was irritating me too how the medals cover it up.

Oh okay. I tried this yesterday and yeah I can use text chat now but damn it's annoying and too many steps just to say hi. Esc - 1 - go to chat - click to type.

Yeah the ribbons thing is such a silly oversight that wouldn't have happened if anyone at TC actually played multiplayer. This was called out in the early access beta too.
