If you're playing competitive please join teamchat

Please just join teamchat you’re not doing any good for your team if you stay out of it. Even if you dont have a mic its good to go into teamchat so you can hear calls from your tanks, hear mercy ask someone to go to the cliff, swap if someone thinks your getting countered by soldier playing pharah, or wombo combo.

If you’re playing hanzo and someone goes Zarya dont stay out of group chat join team chat so you can communicate and get that sweet dragon strike/grav combo. It goes same for any heroes that can combo: Rein/reaper, Pharah/Rein, mercy/pharah, etc.

If you make the claim that team chat doesn’t work for you go into options -> sound and turn teamchat on to auto join.

I know I’m gonna get a lot of people whining about the “toxicity” and all I have to say is when the blame is being thrown upon you then you should leave teamchat. but dont avoid joining because of that one bad experience, and if you get a people yelling at you in teamchat for playing poorly on the regular. Unless you’re a 1 trick or main Symmetra/Torb maybe you’re playing poorly if it happens often.

(I’m not saying its ok to flame people for playing poorly but if you do get yelled maybe you are playing poorly)

The point of this post was to get more people joining team chat, even if its only 1 extra person I will be satisfied.

I like to play Mei, and oh boy did I learn not to join voice chat and block private messages if I do.

well if you’re gonna pick Mei or any DPS when the team needs another tank or healer you’re gonna get hate for not being a team player but at least give it a chance

ok I’d give you a pass just because theres actual health issues but this doesn’t make sense because you cant play with audio and you have the volume on for the game volume? do you mute everything or

You are still in NA, its something. In EU QP feels like playing with bots, 95% of the matches 0 chat/voice or maximum 1 person besides you.

Good times.

I have to mute the game. Also, deaf players say hi

Well get a group of some English speaking friends plus sometimes even in NA we will get people who speak other languages, I once got a game with some Spanish speakers

If we have too many dps, one of the others could switch off aswell. Other than that, you don’t always need 2-2-2 to have a good game and win.

Well you’re not being a team player

this is true sometimes but a 2-2-2 team is usually gonna win unless you’re going triple tank/support

My internet where I actually have decent internet (less than 20 ping) does not allow me to use battle.net voice chat, cuz the school internet calls it piracy for some stupid reason.

14

Nope. First time I joined voice chat in a month, immediately had a dude screaming at me for not pocketing him and being a “sh*t” healer, and screaming “trash trash trash” over and over. It’s too toxic.

15

no thanks

ok but thats not your fault, im talking to the people who choose not to go teamchat to go into teamchat

thats one bad game, now you’re just putting yourself at a disadvantage just give it another chance. everything deserves 2 chances

17

Still tho, voice chat is toxic af in lower SR.

Maybe if you were GM then fair enough.

nah GM still gets really toxic but like I said earlier

I concentrate better when I’m not in team chat. If I’m either Hanzo or Zarya, I just hit my “ultimate ready” key. Or type in team chat that I’m ready. Thus far it has worked out just fine.
