Button remapping

I have always been a player who squeezes my controllers in tense situations. Ever since I was a young kid. I’m honestly surprised I’ve never cracked a Super Nintendo controller playing Donkey Kong Country. Every time I’m in a gun fight in a first person shooter I squeeze my controller and press down on the left stick. I literally can’t help it, it’s just what I do. This never used to be a problem for me while playing apex because I just remapped my controller so that the left stick and down on the d pad were swapped. Down on the d pad used to be an empty button. Had no functions in the game. But then you added the emotes to the game. Something I literally haven’t seen a single person use. And now the game is unplayable for me. The stupid emote wheel pops up on my screen as soon as I start shooting someone. I changed it so that the left stick is now swapped with the b button (crouch) so now I hop up and down while fighting. While it is better than the emote wheel, it still puts me at a huge disadvantage. My suggestion would be to have it so that we could completely disable a button (I’d also be totally ok with emotes being taken out too). Until then I literally can’t play this game.
