Lately i've been thinking of an In-Battle Chat. I'm trying to tell my teammates to come help me or watch out, but I can't. Two options I can think about: Normal Chat (Type what you want) and Select Quote (Select something to say from a list). This would mainly help Team-to-Team with clarification of what is going on.
Example: a Blue Boa is busy fighting off a Red Destrier and Gepard for the middle Beacon. The Blue Golem, with a sniper build, has a clear view of a Red Boa attempting to get into range of the Blue Boa, loaded with a Thunder and Punisher T. The Blue Golem goes to chat and tells the Blue Boa to watch it's back, and it does just that, but not before finishing off the Red Gepard and Destrier. The Blue Boa has the same weapons, but higher level, and manages to kill the Red Boa with help from the Blue Golem Sniper.
This chat system could be used for Comedic purposes as well, if the players just feel like Hanging out. I think a Chat System could help a Teammate potentially save another Teammate indirectly. Another feature i'd add is a [Team Only] chat, where the enemies cannot see what you are typing. This would mainly be used for making up a Plan of Action, without alerting the enemy team. You can dislike this if you want to, but I think this has the potential to be helpful. k thx bai

We do have that capability available with the Discord app. But of course you're referring to built in game comms. It'd be nice but you'd probably only get 10% or less of players to use it. Especially if it were voice comms.
After March of 2017 the then nascent Discord usage in squad and clan matches just started breaking up and disappearing. The result no doubt of the difficulty in getting it to run on the same device while also running the game sound effects. And just players not caring about coordination and socialization. Most of the excuses I heard for not using it was "my wife/girlfriend will hear me". So testicle shrinkage has quite a lot to do with it as well. Women just tell me they don't want to do it(story of my life).

Alphabet Soup I really do see your point there. Maybe a chat filter would help? idk. But i'm not talking about Literal Voice Chat, just like Typing Chat.

Your example brought me back to those bygone days of August 2016. Damn, those were the days!

For those people who don't have Discord, this sounds like a brilliant idea!
