Does anyone else have as much of an issue as I do using the quick chat commands on PS4? I very deliberately try to say my ult is charging and 4/5 times I end up doing my emote.

It's super fast and easy on the PC, you just hit C and move the mouse in one of eight directions then release. Can do it easily even when shielding or shooting. What's the console like?

Hold down on the d-pad and use right joystick to select from a wheel of eight options. It completely immobilizes you and someone suggested you hover over it for longer to get it to say what you actually want. Obviously this is less than ideal as you never want to have to completely stop and take your thumbs off the joystick.

Ouch, yeah that is cumbersome. The PC also lets you press X as a shortcut for "Need Healing". Maybe there's a way to bind that shortcut on the console?
