Ping wheel is taking longer to come up and requires more mouse movement

Lately, my ping wheel has been requiring me to move my mouse much further than it used to to trigger voice lines. This messes with my muscle memory a lot and also just feels worse, I want to be able to flick to the option I want quickly. On top of this, I just had a game where every time I pressed mouse3, the ping wheel would take a good quarter second to appear, which felt even worse. I don't think this is intentional and it doesn't feel very good, communication should be quick and snappy.
 
I wanted to add on to this; the ping wheel seems much less responsive now due to the new UI animations. I have also had problems doing basic enemy pings on occasion, as it feels much easier to accidentally say "Good job" rather than pinging a character location/to attack. (I have also had times where I have pinged myself to be careful when trying to ping something else.) The worst culprit seems to be trying to hit the top of the ping wheel, as it feels like it takes way more effort to reach it now, and results in leaving a basic ping in front of me. My suggestion for the ping wheel would be to hasten the animation starting on middle mouse press, as well as allowing the ping pointer to move at full speed before the UI is completely visible.
 
Seconding, I've been needing to move my mouse much more to try to get my intended ping off. At the same time I've also accidentally sent the wrong commands multiple times ever since this UI change
 
Seconding this. Much harder to communicate on certain occasions, especially in lower-ranked lobbies where microphone communication is less common.

Inquiry:
Does disabling "Mouse acceleration / smoothing / Enhance pointer precision" actually function as a workaround. Or did I for one encounter a placebo-effect / hallucination?

Want to add the speed-down is same regardless if the ping-button is a keuboard-binding or a mouse-button
( E.G. "Mouse-4" )

Also linking to my own thread also reporting the same issue
( did sed "chat wheel" as search query instead of "ping wheel" hence semi-accidental duplicate ):
