I believe this feature was added so one could differentiate between objective points when there are multiple ones, but it just doesn’t work. Most of the time in-game you only have 1 objective anyway, and it is extremely annoying to have to look directly to the point in order to be able to send the quick-chat.
The current range to be able to send it is just too narrow (you have to directly look unto the objective point, even when there is just 1 of them) which makes it, most of the times, impossible for one to actually send it (you’re in the middle of a tank battle and your team isn’t defending the point? Can’t send it. You have to look all the way to the point yourself, nevermind your tank battle). This makes no sense.
The moments you want the most to send this quick-chat is usually when you’ve respawned or are away building a rally point, and your team is not doing its part. Currently, most of the times I want to, I can’t send it. This is extremely detrimental to gameplay, as this quick-chat feature is crucial in-game (especially for console players) for team coordination.
