Controller works surprisingly well for Deadlock, few minor things that don't work about it

[asanchez11235813]

To state
-Holding a button does not do its normal function, like reloading or parrying(I'm assuming they're bound to do other stuff?), holding works for abilities though
-Next point, you cannot hold Apollo's ultimate on controller, you simply cannot hold the button and activate it, nothing happens, and it like, disables the input temporarily, as tapping does not work for a few seconds after(this happens with everyone, but specifically sucks for Apollo)
-Despite being a radial wheel, you cannot use the Ping menu(you can still press rb for contextual pings)
AND WORST OF ALL
you cannot spam crouch on controller, if anything needs fixing, its this one, horrendous game design for sure.

I'm glad this was posted as just to add to this slightly I've just started playing on my Steam Deck OLED and i'm currently in the learn how to play mode of the game and when it tells me to "use an ability' as it says in the popup whilst saying to "Hold X to Unlock" I then hold X to unlock and it does not do anything and therefore the checkbox next to the "Hold X to Unlock" does not get checked off since when I held the X button on my Steam Deck nothing happened in the game.

in order to unclock abilities using an xbox controller, i have to hold a specific button, and then press the ability button. same for casting.
