2026 and still no proper quick-wheel menu for meds and throwables, the current "quick-wheel" is half-assed, barely any better than the default "drawer style" menu. On top of that, the adrenaline syringe, sticky bomb and themed mode items are not included
The default "drawer style" menu for meds and throwables, is pure hot dog water. The design is completely inferior compared to a quick-wheel, and I'll give some arguments for that:
1.It needs a lot of empty space on the screen. You have limited options to where you can place the meds/throwables buttons, so the menu doesn't overlap with any of the other buttons. With every new season, the extra items will cause the menu to take more space on the screen, which can lead to the button for closing the menu to be placed somewhere else and overlap with other buttons, making it impossible to close the menu. So it may be necessary to tweak your layout every season just for that reason.

You're pretty much forced to place it at the bottom side of the screen bcs it uses so much vertical space, and there's no option to have the menu opening from top to bottom. But that's more of a problem for phone players, so ig it doesn't matter.
-
Want to have the meds/throwables buttons on the left side of the screen? Thumb will busy with the joystick, so you're not going to able to use it while moving, unless your index finger is comically long.
-
It's simply slower bcs it requires multiple taps to select an item.
Quick-wheel fixes all of that. You can place the meds/throwables buttons anywhere on the screen, just hold and drag to select the item, no extra tapping = faster, can easily be used with index fingers, so your thumbs are free to focus on their most important job (movement and aim), but even if you want use thumbs, it's still better than the drawer style menu. This feature could also be implemented for the "quick scope change" button
So, please add a proper quick-wheel menu for meds and throwables. Allow us to change the size and transparency of the quick-wheel. Include the other missing items too (adrenaline, sticky bomb, and themed mode meds/throwables). Do not include items to the list that are not essential to gameplay, such as apples, fireworks or stuff like that. It'll make the menu more bloated and difficult to use
How to improve the current drawer style selection menu: add a "gesture" feature to allow the players to open the menu by swiping up on the button to open the menu. Swipe down anywhere on the menu in order to close it. Give touch input priority to the menu so if its overlapping with other UI on the screen, items can still be used and the menu can be rapidly closed. Also make the menu able to open from top to bottom, so players can place it closer to the top of the screen if they want to.
Also do not remove or change the current one, just let us choose. Thx for reading
