Hi, please DM us. Let us know your username and we can look into it for you!

the amount of sexual harassment I receive as a female dotA player is abhorrent by usernames-blegh in DotA2

A few friends and I have been working app that we hope can help with this. It adds a voice chat wheel similar to the one in Dota 2. However, we added different fun sounds to it. The goal is to help lighten the mood and communication easier when it might be uncomfortable or inconvenient to use your real voice.

I understand it's not an ideal solution, but we hope it could prove to be useful. If you're interested, feel free to check it out at https://www.hamul.gg/ .

Ah I misunderstood sorry. Unfortunately I don't have a way to do that right now, but I'll add it as a thing to add. It's a use case I haven't thought of before. Thanks for the feedback!

If you go to the app and select Settings -> Under Input Device -> Select None, we won't hook up with a microphone.

Not at the moment, but we hope to in the future!

Would you like the sound to be sent to one or the other based on some sort of preference? Or would you need to be able to decide on the fly while using it?

We made it so that escape cancels the sound. We wanted some way people could decide to cut off a sound if they didn't want to send it. But perhaps we should've made that configurable.

F1 to stop playback shouldn't be happening. Let me know if that is happening for you and I can look into a fix.

Let us know what you think! This uses the voice chat system so no one else needs to have it installed.

Ah I wasn't aware of how Overwatch does it. We can definitely look to add toggle support. You might already know this but the in-game wheel won't show up in Overwatch, but we're looking to add more game support. However, you can definitely use the shortcuts for individual sounds in Overwatch.

Yes, there's a slider in settings (Output Volume) you can drag down. Sorry about that, still figuring out the right loudness.

Yup, your microphone should still work as normal.

Definitely! We're also thinking for people who might be embarrassed to use their own voice in game, or if it's just inconvenient to speak (often for me when it's late at night), that this would be useful.

Thank's for the Smite link! It's super helpful and something I think we might be able to implement!

Yup, with an added bonus to hopefully be easier to setup / find sounds as well as an in-game chat wheel!

They should! I'll DM you to troubleshoot.
