Subtitles should disable in game audio

subtitles should disable ALL in game audio so people who use the subtitles feature do not gain a competitive advantage from using it.

the only people who should be able to use this without gaining an advantage is people who are hard of hearing or people who are clinically deaf

I think it’s good because it’s far too common for ult lines to not properly play.

Friendly Bastion and Reinhardt’s don’t even have an ult line.

Uh… No?

There’s people partially impaired, if they want both, they want both, who cares? And it’s not unfair, it’s an option anyone can use on any platform, any hero, any rank, for free…

same, the amount of times ive died to an enemy ult when i didnt even hear the voiceline.

its usually hanzo or mccree for me

I don’t think it’ll give non deaf people anymore of a competitive edge.

It’s not like your installing an aimbot.

Heck no, Alexis. Sometimes ult lines don’t play properly. This also doesn’t really address those who might be hard of hearing but can still hear somewhat. It’d be pretty lame to give up all sound just so you can more easily understand what’s going on.

It would be a very very slight one I think. But it would be such a miniscule advantage for nearly every player that it would go unnoticed I think. Too small to realistically worry about even.

What about people who want audio AND subtitles, like me

If its available to literally everyone how is it an advantage for someone over another…

Just a question, if i were to spam BINGO! as Torb all game long, would that be displayed in the subtitles every time?

Like I said. It would be a non existant issue.

If anything it could hinder people having to look down at subtitles when you can already hear what’s being said.

But since everyone has access to it and there’s settings for it, I don’t see it as an issue.

This is ultimately what I think as well. Any advantage it would give would be over only those not also using subtitles and it would be extremely minor anyway. Having access to subtitles isn’t going to make most people a better player.

No, sound is way too unreliable in is game.
It’s so infuriating when genji ults from around a corner and the game literally makes no attempt to warn me.
