What about the super fun happy double waving arm salute aka.
\o/ WHEEEE!

How will I complement people on killing me with headshots by screaming "MY FACE!!!" in global chat if I can't speak when I'm dead?

no fun allowed. for real this time.

I think there are two sides to this. Positive chat after death is helpful. Letting people know things like where the enemy is and what damage they have is beneficial. Telling people what the death count is or that they are alone can also be useful at times. The chat that is not useful is people who are dead that criticize/complain about those who are still alive. The old saying applies in this case...If you don't have anything good to say, then keep your mouth shut!

Depends on whether you are looking at the back or the front of their head.

Sounds like a lot of my evenings when I was younger.

I'm guessing you're one of those assault players that refuse to actually play your class properly and tank.

Some assaults cant function effectively as a tank. Forcing an assault to act as a tank isn't always the only option. (Not that it doesn't work, just keep your options open )

Thing that bugs me are teammates who call your position if you are lone survivor and want to do hit and run. Thats why i would favor to DISABLE global chat WHILE the game IS RUNNING.

It's so annoying my whole team got annihilated and i had gotten like 4-6 kills plus i am so critical, the match is like 2:00 minutes left
some whiner who did like 0 kills and 49 damage said i sucked and gave my location only to have a group of lights swarm me
i had a 1 hit death.

Hell yeah dude. Remove global chat until the match is over.

General chat is useful and it would be a really bad move to remove it just because of some of the issues that come with communication. This is your player base. For good or bad. I don't find it difficult to ignore the GLHF or the clan recruitment messages, even though I also find them to be a slight annoyance. And anyone talking that racist or homophobic stuff just tells me who needs to die first. And if it's bad enough, I'll just report them.

Taking away options isn't how you fix issues.

Also giving away positions of afks or discos = treason? You crazy. And usually if I see someone playing hidey hole with a near dead mech, trying to avoid the 7 or so enemy mechs trying to find him for the next 8 minutes, I am not against anyone berating him into action because his chances are slim, the odds are against him, and he's probably not even that good.(All of which will usually happen in team chat by the way.) Him maybe getting another kill by hiding in some corner of the cave for 5 minutes is next to impossible, so by God, go out and take your medicine so I can get my damn Mech back.

There is nothing usefull to chat about while the match is running. Only the dead can chat and they shouldnt do it witht the other team. After the match there is still plenty of time to talk to anyone.
