I thought that the different roles make different callouts.

For example:
Support: ult tracking
Tank: target caller

anyone can do any of those. just some roles should focus on. but in the end anyone can do any of those

You’re the leader of the team, the one who’s upfront or at least the one who stays near the one upfront.

You should tell your team where to go, who to focus.
The condition of your ult and protections and so on…

As the space maker your job is simply telling the team the path.
When is it time to move forward, when is it time to go back, when is it time to stop and when is it time to overall change direction.

Nothing. Tank players should be seen and not heard. Supports are in a better position to be making callouts. The only thing tank players should be letting us know is if they’re going to switch to Hog after the first lost fight.

If you’re Rein then you should call out with you’re dropping shield because it’s about to break, I usually call out that the enemy Rein has shatter to watch out in-case I mess up

Orisa I call out my halts when I’m with a Hog

Winston sometimes I call out who I’m jumping

Call outs are good don’t get me wrong but they’re not super crucial, it’s not like a Sombra calling out her hacks or an Ana calling out her anti’s
Just remember to not over-communicate, keep as much irrelevant information out of it as possible

You should probably be calling everything. You don’t want to have 3-6 people yelling at comms because too many cooks in the kitchen makes only a mess and clogs your comms. Having 1 primary shotcaller and 1 secondary shotcaller is the way to go while the others call out flanks or other anomalies in the mix. That’s the recipe for successful comms
