I know this is a very sensitive subject and also a controversial one.However, a battle of egos is part of a game and can encourage players to improve and take the karma back to their provokers next time.I think we could test and see.

This is why you can't talk to the other team @ end of round:

@TTV_AndrosAGAIN If only the servers with persistent to maybe see the same people the next round.I think it would honestly be better to have the all-chat being mid-round. There's been some times where I get hit by an incredible shot and no way to say "not even mad, nice shot!" or whatever to the other person.

I would even say there is no problem with the chat being hidden by default and users have to enable that in options. But most people WANT all chat and I can see no reason what this is not in the game. It cannot be that hard to implement or bandwidth consuming.

Some level of competitive banter (e.g. trash talk) can be healthy. Althogh it sometimes crosses the line into toxic conversation, that can usually be tolerated or reported and move on.All chat brought some spice to the game. Without it, it does feel too clinical and emotionless. There are times when you make that "BF moment" (e.g. tank kill at range on Air) and you want to talk smack. Or maybe you get hit with a nice shot and might even want to say "hey man, nice shot!".I suspect a big reason for removal of all chat is because of the cheating accusations leading to negative discussions and helped reinforce how lacking the past title's anti-cheat was and causing negative sentiment. Also a factor in why they removed the scoreboard. So high k/d players draw less attention.

Suggestion: Public chat at the end of a round

@Anobix Most of the offensive words are already censored. And I agree with you on having mods, but I don’t think this is viable as it implies an additional cost to the mix. Maybe improving report analysis on toxicity with actual punishment would be great.
But overall this would be a minority of occurrences. The benefits of having a public chat are greater than the * IMHO.
