The communication wheel interface
The communication wheel is an interface which allows players to send automatic messages during matches. Players can bring up the communication wheel using the 'C' button, and can then choose from 8 possible options.
The interface represents an alternative means of communication for players not wishing or not able to use the built-in voice communication system.
In Overwatch 2, the wheel will be integrated with the ping system.[1]
