Changing the positions of damage/MVP messages

Suggestion type: FGunZ

Suggestion description:

I appreciate the new addition and I don't want to seem like I'm complaining, but I'd like to suggest a change in the way the new damage/MVP messages are displayed.

In the current position, the messages overlap with team hp/ap displays in bigger rooms with 12-18 players per team.

Also, it doesn't look very user friendly for people who play with low resolutions.

My suggestion is to re-position it in a way such that the chat appears to have 2 extra lines which are only dedicated to these messages. Also, a distinct color would be nice for better readability. Example:

Either that, or even below the 6 lines of chat, which is unused space.

There's already a lot of messages that appear in the chat like scorestreaks, duel streaks, and clan streaks along with the general chat. I feel like it's already a bit cluttered. But you do make a good point and that's really the only other place that text can be moved to.

Yes, but those duel/kill streak messages are a part of the chat itself. I'm not saying these messages should replace chat messages like the others, but rather just be positioned lower (to make it appear to be a part of the chat) with better formatting in order to avoid the overlap with team hp/ap displays and looking weird on lower resolutions.

I'd like to see the enemy damage be some sort of red, and team damage some sort of green (perhaps what it was before?)

Distinct shades like ^M (red) and ^V (green) would be nice so that they don't blend in with regular messages.

Good suggestion, I'll test to see what colour and spot looks good.

It's easily doable to move those out of the chat as well. Just like how I'm planning to move kills out of the chat in the next update. So the chat becomes a chat and chat only.

Wat about scrollbars for the chat we were promised or suggested and was forgotten

Not my priority right now but we'll see about that.
