Design a system, that allows player to ping the location of an enemy, as well as showing which hero is being pinged. This would help with communication, and focus firing so much. It would be a huge quality of life for everyone.

Maybe they can make a spotter hero or just give it to sombra.

One thing to note is that the characters automatically say ābehind youā if someone is behind them. Unfortunately, none of the voicelines have any visual companion so no one pays attention to them. Giving it a visual companion would help tremendously.
Ping has very little actual value in overwatchā¦you only care about 1 section of a map at a time reallyā¦usually a big room with only a few entry pointsā¦thereās only so many places the enemy can be and you can see all of them just about
And even if you canāt a simple left/right call is all you need to know to know where the enemy isā¦
This isnāt apex where you got this ginormous open area of a map with multiple buildings and multiple floors and itās not easy to know where exactly a teammate is looking atā¦āleftā can mean a lot of things
Donāt get me wrongā¦itās a nice featureā¦but not really helpful for OW

I can guarantee that I would abuse this system and annoy my team and I know Iām not the only one who would do this so no
Why cant you just voice chat it up tho!?
A ping system really is only benificial for console players as the majority of them dont have mics (in my experience anyways)
They explained why they donāt have it, but may explore it again.

I feel like pinging an enemy would be something you could do in Overwatch, so your suggestion isnt terribly wrong.
Click on enemy, have a voice-cue and have a symbol above his head? I guess that could work. It would require you to have line of sight though, because it would be a free wallhack otherwise.
Sombra would be nice, I feel like one of the biggest reasons she gets slack when getting picked is not meeting the āinfiltrationā role. Itād just be easier to have her call out things rather than focus on it over microphone.
I can tell you that this will most likely not happen since Widow and Hanzo basically do that already unless they completely change the game.
Works better in Apex because the maps are so large. At least compared to Overwatch.
Welp, first thing first, because its overwatch there would have to be some rule, like not to let people spam it because, lets be honest, people would just use it to spam.
