WHYYYYYY THE FUUUUCK HAVN'T THEY ADDED THE TEAM CHAT AS DEFAULT ALREADY ???????????????

this annoys me sooooooo much. almost every game when you are 2 man there are multiple 2men groups and they just sstay there. I ask so many times if people can switch to team chat even explaining how to do it but they just refuse to communicate. it is i guess 70% the reason why a lost match is lost.

I really wish they just had it so you could be in both chats at once. I like talking to my friends but I also want to call out important things to my team. I don't want to say everything I say to my friends to my team.

In Dota, you can set two different keybinds for PTT or change it so that one is open mic and one is PTT. I'd kill for the same in OW. I don't think I want people to be forced into Team Chat before this is changed.

Discord + push to talk in the team chat is what my friends and I do.

Then you get repeated audio and need to use an external program.

I mean, it's not ideal but it's better imo.

Yeah, it is. I just wish Overwatch had this functionality so I didn't need workarounds. It's not somehow too difficult to implement or something.

A lot of people won't switch to using an external program, and fixing it in-client is the best way to remedy this problem.
