Editing this because people seem confused. I do use the ping. i’m talking about when you hold down the ping button, it opens a wheel. I don’t want a wheel of options I’m never going to use.
In the settings, you can turn down ‘‘Ping wheel press delay’’. This makes it so you have to hold ping for longer to open up the ping wheel. I have mine on max because i don’t want the wheel of options, I just want the contextual pings.
However, when you move your mouse too quickly, the wheel opens irrespective of your ‘‘Ping wheel press delay’’ setting. It opens immediately. This is an issue, as if im flicking to a low hp enemy to tag him for my dps, then flicking back into the teamfight, I dont want a wheel opening in the micro second it took me to ping a target. This is an issue because that menu doesnt close on release of the ping key. So my mouse strays off screen. This is silly design.
Maybe it’s just a me issue or I’m missing a setting somewhere but I can’t find a solution to this other than to not ping, and the pings very useful and the contextual pings are implemented really well in general. It’s just the wheel that is causing me issues.

You can unbind the key and just put whatever action you need on the specific button.

The actions i need/want are the contextual pings, being able to ping a low hp target mid fight to make it easier to see for a genji or whoever is important, or double ping a high ground with a reaper etc. I don’t use it for the '‘defend here’ or ‘fall back’ options.
Just bind “Enemy” to that button instead of the wheel.

rebind it if you don’t want to use it.
or better yet, just remove the binding it already has set.

But this shouldn’t be an issue at all, the ping is one button, and it shows low hp targets, confirms others pings, pings low hp team mates, I can double click to show a warning. The pings perfect, they just need to add an option to disable the wheel. The idea that I should have 4 new hotkeys to fix something that should already be an option is a silly non solution.
Yeah the wheel is way to crowded. It just gets in the way when you need to make snap announcements to your team.

I have mine set to scroll up, and this never happens. Hopefully you don’t have anything else bound there (since so far there’s only characters with two weapons anyway, you can still switch them with scroll down).
I use scroll wheel for quite a few different heros unfortunately, or this might be a solution.
I filed a bug report, this has ‘‘not working as intended’’ vibes in my opinion. Try it out in the training range though and you’ll see what I mean, moving mouse while pinging opens the wheel even if you have it on max delay. And I’d like to just disable the wheel all together if that is intended lol.
Completely agree, I havent once found a use for the wheel so far, so if possible i’d love to just disable it. The default pings work so well already, they’re really good in my opinion

The thing that bothers me is they changed where need healing and group up are on the wheel and it really throws me off.

Has anyone found a solution for this yet? I tried binding to “Enemy” to my ping button instead of the wheel but when moving my mouse quickly it still pulls up the menu.
Peebuger,
I noticed that if you have a character that have non default bindings, croshair and sens, you have to set up your pings for them as well. Each and every character.
I’ve got a horrible feeling that this will be a niche issue that is never addressed. But it’s making me lose fights.
