Please add a way to unbind push-to-talk on console.
On the console the is no way to unbind the push-to-talk button, and in the overwatch 2 beta when push-to-talk is bound to certain buttons on certain characters it overrides the buttons other binding. I couldn’t ping when I first installed the beta on ps5 because both the ping and push-to-talk were set to left D-pad. I thought I fixed it by setting push-to-talk to L2. I was testing with Baptiste who I have crouch set to L2. When I got a match and Played Sojourn I noticed my secondary fire(her railgun) was unbound according to the UI, but upon looking at her control scheme secondary was set to L2. I usually prefer my secondary fire as R2 though so I switched primary to R1, secondary to R2, I put her power slide as L1 and her disruptive burst as L2 and everything worked fine, as it did swapping L1 and L2 afterwards. On Junker Queen I had a similar issue where her L2 wasn’t bound according to the UI, but I switched her controls around and it worked out.
Then I tried to play Sigma and his L2 was unbound. I tired switching his abilities up and it didn’t work. I tried remapping the push-to-talk button to every other button, and no matter what I set it to it took over the button and I couldn’t use it for anything else.
With the addition of the ping system, I am running out of buttons. I guess I can get rid of my quick “I need healing” button that I usually have assigned to left d-pad for now, but it would be nice if I could unbind the push-to-talk button entirely to avoid issues like this entirely. I never could get the push-to-talk button to work anyway in the past, even when unbinding everything else from the button.
{EDIT: It turns out I never tried setting the push-to-talk on right dpad, the same as my sigma “i need healing” button, and that just so happened to be the one thing i could get to work whiling sharing a bind with push-to-talk on sigma, so thats good. set that to everyone else too except Torb and Mercy. Mercy needs right dpad as weapon switch, but luckily i can put push-to-talk on L2 along with Jump on L2 with mercy and it works. Torb needs right dpad for interact so i dont accidently break my turret, and that leaves up on the dpad for switching weapons(no spray menu room sadface), luckily i can set push to talk and turret on L2 and the turret still works.
Sorry probably wasnt the most concise way to give you this info}
