Im guessing by emotes you mean the quips and I actually love that feature on my controller and use it all the time BUT i never use the down option... so I agree that should be disabled whenever I need to use my quips I always hold the ping button then just press Y and choose the quip I want I usually play them when were waiting to drop from the dropship like Octanes ‘’I like the wind in my hair Bugs in my teeth and long walks off a high click’’ or Octanes ‘’havn’t we landed yet whats the hold up’’ but sometimes in game in a taunting manor as a joke like lifelines ‘’your looking at a fighter what am i looking at’’ or Gibralters ‘’Try and Move Me It will be Fun Haha’’
