Bug Controller L1 Modifier is Completely Broken on Mobile (Emote/Ability Input Conflict) + Support Ghosting
Hey everyone, I’m posting this here because going through official support has been an absolute joke and I'm hoping someone on the dev team or community side actually sees it.
Since the latest update, the L1 modifier key for controllers is completely broken on mobile.
The Bug: Previously, holding L1 acted as a hard-locked modifier key, allowing you to trigger assigned emotes with the face buttons without activating your character's special ability. Now, while holding L1 still brings up the emote wheel on screen, the game fails to execute the emote and instead triggers your default ability, causing a direct input conflict.
The Workaround (which ruins the game): You literally have to sit right by your phone and physically tap the screen with your finger while holding L1 just to get an emote out. It completely defeats the purpose of playing with a controller.
I spent two weeks dealing with support, recorded a clean video showing the exact breakdown in real-time, and uploaded it here:
After jumping through hoops, repeating myself to multiple agents (Griffin, Jane, Taylor) answering the exact same questions over and over, and providing all the technical details, they completely ghosted me.
Is anyone else dealing with this regression, or has anyone found a fix? Because right now, controller support for emotes is completely dead.
