Apex Legend Map

Can apex please make it where downed players can assist alive teammates by being able to have the same zoom in and ping features as alive players. This would be a major change I feel apex is lacking ...

You can't zoom the map while you are downed? Idk, haven't played a while.

@AreYouShivering You should be able to still zoom into the map while downed.

@Zulkiers and correct, the dead cannot ping the map or zoom in. (They should be allowed to zoom in at least tho).
Down players, (as mentioned), should be able to still zoom into the map, and their ping options are change to the following:

1) Enemy Here
2) Don't Revive Me!
3) Enemy Healing
4) Enemy Reviving
5) Go Here

  @Midnight9746I think he meant map pinging. It doesn't use the same options as the ping wheel, if it even has options at all. Just basic ping and maybe double tap for enemy there ping. If downed can't map ping, there goes most of their ping capabilities or communication.
  
  I've turned my keyboard into musical keybinds from , to ] and \ littered with keybinds for the various pings, which lets me make pings that the ping wheel doesn't allow, such as "someone's been through here."
  Makes me hate playing on console purely because I can't ping the pings I want to ping because I can't play musical ping board.
  Not like I can remember all the keybinds. Half the time I make like 15 pings before hitting the one I intended to hit. That's an exaggeration, but still. I think L is loot, P is person went through, ; is something, ' is something, \ might be regroup, ... L and P are probably my most used ones, when I'm not using the wheel to do them.
  And yes I had to custom keybind those. Ping keybinds naturally aren't bound. Half they keyboard isn't used by default so I was like might as well bind them.
  I wish console had more pings in the wheel, especially the People've been through here ping to be in the downed wheel.
