Personally, I find that I accidentally squeeze L3 in moments of high stress. I think it is because I am trying to stabilize my controller by clenching up my left hand a bit when aiming with my right.
It’s for this reason that I would never bind L3 to anything that could get me killed, like Crouch or something like that. I like L3 set on Spray, because Spraying is fun and it never hurts anyone (most of all me!) if I accidentally Spray in the middle of a fight.
What do you find most useful for L3, and why?

I currently have L3 unbound (and hold-to-crouch on R3) for the same reason. I found that when melee was on R3 (which it is by default) I was punching when I needed to shoot, which cost me damage or sometimes got me killed.

I use L3 to record a highlight.
It’s funny because when you rewatch them you can exactly tell which stressful situation made you press that button.

I only use L3 as the “Understood” key so I say say “Attack” or “Defend the objective/payload” the only character I don’t use it for is a Mercy I have L3 set as the spray menu for her.
How do you say attack or defend the objective ? You need to use understood and group up at the same time ?
I set it for my ult charge percentage c:
It’s the left control stick for controllers. When you press the left stick in (Right as well) it in, there’s a button, that’s the third usage on the left side of the controller. L3.

I play hybrid controls (mouse right hand/controller left). I have L3 bound to an ability, voiceline, or spray. Depends on the hero.
Left stick in I assume.
You say “understood” at the objective.
I don’t have it set to anything. It’d be hard to bind anything to it since it’s the stick I use for movement. I wouldn’t want to interfere with that. I do squeeze R3 (mostly when I’m Reaper for some reason) a lot when I’m in those high stress moments, but that’s because I’m aiming with that and frantically trying to point at the right thing.
I have it set up for TP and translocator destroy, and soldier’s running
Use it for the teleporter.
I have it set to the interact button.
I use it to switch weapons.
when I played on console ages ago, I had it bound to jump so I could jump and aim at the same time, I can’t play claw it hurts my hand
I map reload to L3 and jump to R3. This way I can continue aiming or looking around without taking my thumb off the Right stick when reloading or jumping. On many characters I never have to take my hands off the thumbsticks with this setup. The travel time moving the thumb from stick to button pad often can make the difference between life and death, so any time I can keep my hands off the button pad the better.
