We need more voice commands.
With this game being a very strategic team based shooter, it really needs more useful voice commands. Most people (I solo queue most of the time) don't use the direct voice chat, so communication can be hard sometimes as you can't always stop and type.
A basic ping would be very beneficial to point out enemies, locations, etc. It could also add a temporary marker to clearly point things out, and the heroes could say "look!" Or "over there!". The automatic "behind you!" lines are great, but often it's too late or people don't hear it. A ping ability can point out flanking enemies like this. An "attack!" Voice line would be another great addition so you can coordinate skill combos with your team. We have "attack the control point" but a general "attack!" That can be used anywhere really should be added. Right now, most people just spam that their ultimate is ready and it can be unclear sometimes what they want to do.
I'm sure once competitive is added, most people playing that will use their microphones to communicate, but in pubs most people don't seem to use it. (I'm playing on PC). We have hundreds of miscellaneous voice lines, so why not some more legitimately helpful ones?

I would appreciate "Attack!" "Retreat!" and locational pings.
