Force team chat in competitive

It makes no sense why in competitive to have a group chat and then a team chat. Also if they are in a party chat force switch them to in game chat.

No thanks, don’t need the sound of some whiny 12 year old to cause my ears to bleed.

Yep.

You know… you can still mute people even if they made it so that you’re automatically moved and locked into the Team Chat at the beginning of a Competetive Match.
Having like a Duo or Trio Stack on your team that just can’t hear you doing voice Call outs or anything like that because they just sit in their Group chat

People may perform better when talking amongst their friends. Safe to say, Blizzard will not be doing this any time soon.

If they make private profiles why on earth would they do this. Besides, the person could just mute everyone else.

Forcing people to do anything most likely turn out well😂

Not to sound rude but you know you can always mute?

It is not practical or feasible to force everyone into team chat. For starters, there are players who technically are unable to join team chat. This can be due to reasons such as port configurations being blocked. Also, I find the “force to join team chat” argument invalid. I like to think that I am a very active shotcaller, and I do get many yellow endorsements for my positive and clear communication. However, very few players (at least around my rank) effectively use voice comms to that potential and more typically use voice comms to criticize their teammates (whether it is constructive or not). I feel we do better keeping the system as is by “encouraging” players politely in team text chat to join voice comms, and use endorsements to praise those who effectively use the communication to benefit the team.

Communication is key to winning. If you can’t chat for what ever reason you should not be playing but comp but if you insist on playing comp at least hear the team chat so you are not clueless on whats being said.

It’s funny to me that so many people think they can sit back and judge who is or is not qualified to play comp. I really feel like a lot of people out there subconsciously view all the other players as NPC’s that are there to perform for them.

I don’t get what you’re saying. Quote my whole sentence.

Is that a real problem for you? like do you suffer from no communication every single playing streak? because even in silver usually at least 4 people auto-join the chat.

I see what you’re saying there. I thought for a sec you were gonna say force everyone to use a mic and or be in team chat so we can all hear the toxic dirtbags trash talk the dps and healers. No thanks on that

Nope I just want communication.

Hodor!

That’s all you would hear from me if I was forced into a chat.

Nope too many screaming young kids… i dont care that they play ow, i just dont need to hear it…

you can mute people.

I can see why you would want that.

But…man, sometimes there are people I’m just happy the match is over so I don’t have to hear anymore! Lol :smile:
