I've seen a lot of talk about people trying to signal each other for help, or wanting to provide help but not being able to because they have no way of making their teammates understand what they want! XD
If we ever get some sort of signalling system, it would have to be unobtrusive to the current gameplay, maybe something like a certain symbol appearing above the bot that blinks, and gives a small sound to let their team know.
For example I just saw some people talk about how they want others to get in their anvil shield, or to go a certain way/stay close to them. This could alternately be done by a certain signal that shows up above the bot when they press a button, to request others to follow their lead, or to tell their teammates that they really need some help/ are overwhelmed, or to help cap a beacon? I would like maybe 3-4 different symbols that can be used in various ways, so you could use the same symbol/signal for various requests, like asking for help could imply to stay close, target whoever is near the signalee, or call friendly sniper attention to that area. Symbols could include an explanation point for urgency, a target reticle for attention, or two converging arrows for stay close/move here.
I understand that War Robots can be a heated battle where you may not be able to pay attention to these signals, but occasionally it would be nice to get some sort of in-match communication in so that teamwork can be a bit easier.
