We need to be able to clearly tell which Caustic gas is free to walk into and which will hurt,or which Rev tactical will silence our abilities and which are safe to go into,or which Fuse ult will burn us and which is safe to cross there should be a clear visual indication of which ability/ ultimate belongs to an enemy and which belongs to a teammate. I feel like this is a must for solo queue with randoms who don’t communicate

Agree, the only one difference is Wattson fence. I guess Dev is too lazy to implement different color for each team. They can simply use same color as dive trail (put the team color on top) or simply green means yours and red means enemy (this one is more tricky to code).

@Koochi-Q For most of the situations you don't have time to see if someone pinged it so a different color would be well welcomed.

@hayhor It wouldn’t be too difficult for the devs to do, there’s already a distinction between some things like enemy/ friendly Gibby bubbles and Wattson fences, it wouldn’t be too hard to give a different colour to enemy abilities, even if it’s just a red outline around them or something, anything’s better than nothing. Just seems like laziness to be honest

@Koochi-Q I suppose. It would just help late game when all the squads are in one area and there’s just anarchy with multiple Gibby, Fuse, Caustic ults going off at once, when there’s mass panic you just want to focus on crossing the battlefield as safely as possible so you don’t even think about pinging, or sometimes even have the time when you’re milliseconds away from death

@asukojo Or like with Gibby shields. They should do this for everyone. Enemy Horizon's abilities should be a diff color too.

There needs to be a clear difference between enemy and friendly abilities/ ults

@Bean2kay9 Would be better but it’s take away the suspense. You can always just ping an ability to see if it’s friendly or foe

@Cro_Pittt There’s always time... the intent is just never there :P but that’s why I agreed with the suggestion.

Sadly pinging isn't always reliable atm either, had a game against a caustic the other day, no caustic on our team, my mate was downed and before I revived him I pinged a gas trap in a building door so he didn't run in there to heal and my revenant chimed 'Friendly trap, it's one of ours' or something alike and I was like ummm no no that is most definitely not friendly lol
