Overwatch 2 players are frustrated with the inability to cancel emotes in the game, leading to potential dangers and awkward situations. A Reddit post by u/spacewarp2 highlights the need for an auto-cancel feature, as being stuck in a lengthy emote animation can leave players vulnerable to enemy attacks. The lack of a cancel option has discouraged players from using or purchasing emotes, impacting their overall enjoyment of the game.
In the post, u/spacewarp2 questions why Blizzard has not implemented a keybind to cancel activated emotes. They emphasize the risk of using emotes outside of the spawn room, where enemies can take advantage of the immobile player. The inability to cancel emotes has led to frustrating moments, such as accidentally triggering an emote instead of expressing gratitude with the “Thanks” button.
While some players have accepted the current state of emotes in Overwatch 2, finding humor in the occasional mishaps, many agree that the ability to cancel emotes would greatly improve the gameplay experience. In the past, Overwatch allowed emote cancellation but removed it due to players exploiting the third-person view provided during emotes.
It remains to be seen whether Blizzard will address this issue and add an emote cancel option to satisfy the Overwatch 2 community’s demands.
