How about add audio alert for ingame messages?

Sometimes I could be so drown into the gameplay, and neglect some key messages from allies. If my name appears in the message, or from allies, and then an audio(or visual) alert could remind me, that will be very convenient.

Get a smaller monitor. I can see the whole screen at the same time, there's no excuse why you shouldn't.

If you can't pay attention to the chat, at least don't play team games. All console messages should be read, no matter who they were sent by and who they were directed towards. For that there already is an audio alert.

yeah or when you get "con bot cannot reach destination" spam, you cant even read chat anymore.

or when there are 10 specs talking bullshit at same time, then i also cant read all messages.

or when allies chat too much, then i just cant read all messages.

usually i only look markers, and dont read chat so much if there is lots of bs talk in the chat.

Use a message seperator to seperate spectator and system messages. You can't filter out ally messages, but you shouldn't be able to.

I don't see the reason to complain about message spam really, I've yet to play a single game where message spam has made me unable to see all messages.

I've lost concentration due to marker spam on me tons of times though, but there's no excuse for missing important messages from your allies.

Losing concentration and not listening to your allies are two entirely different things.
