I’m physically mute, meaning I can’t verbally talk even if I wanted to. If I were to play in competitive, would any of you guys be fine with that? I’ll still hop on to team voice chat, but all I can do is listen.

There’s plenty of players who don’t talk. What chu tokin bout
I don’t see the problem with someone not talking as long as they do actually listen
I see. I guess I shouldn’t have a problem.
Would be absolutely fine with that, and would greatly appreciate your still joining team chat and listening!

You don’t have to talk but it’s nice if you join VC to listen to strategies and when to push etc.
Most people don’t talk at all in this game TBH. I shot call a lot, so all I hope is that people listen.
You’ll be welcome, don’t be shy 
Gl & Hf!
I don’t see anything abnormal.
Absolutely. There’s also plenty of ingame “communication” you can do. Calling out your ulti status frequently to show people how close you are to ultis, calling out for healing. Using the group up function etc etc. Not to mention typing when it’s required.
It’s always perfectly fine to not talk for whatever reason wether it be mute, anxiety, mic being broken or whatever else is stopping them. You dont need everyone communicating verbally.

It is perfectly acceptable. In fact, most players never talk in Voice Chat anyway.
I just wanted to know because incase I might call out anyone who’s going behind us and I’m playing a backline hero (I.E. supports) I may not be able to call it out on time.
Most people ive seen (gold in other account) don’t talk that much anyways. Plus there are always people that talk when you wish they didnt. Don’t let the salty whiney people ruin your game.
If your playing a backline support good luck - even with coms I get ignored a lot. If you see someone flanking just keep shooting in that direction while repositioning yourself. This helps draw attention to your team without having to say/type anything.
The less you communicate via voice comms the better you (and the team to some extent) has to be at playing the game, simple as that.
I talk a lot in voice chat but I don’t care if people are replying to me as long as they listen. The idea here is if I am asking to focus the free mercy hanging around I want all my team to look at her and eat her alive ( that was an aggressive statement ). However, if you are a healer, I will rather you talking because it makes it so much easier to protect you. At the very least ask for heals when you are in danger which gives me a clue of what is going on.
No one is even going to notice or check past just seeing how many players are in voice chat. You’re going to be fine, don’t even bother to tell anyone you can’t talk but will listen etc. If the little box for “in team chat” is +1 for the team, that’s all most people even care about.
most games only have a few people talking anyways. Coms are no where near as mandatory as some like to make it seem. At least not for the bulk of the SR range.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with people not talking. I’m a shot caller so I can do all the talking for a team. What’s annoying is when people aren’t in team chat and they cannot hear important information.
I will say however with certain heroes it can be a bit hard if the player isn’t talking (Zen for discord or supports in general since they are the biggest targets on a team).
I once queued with a mercy main who was deaf. And she was good at mercy lol. I think she was around low diamond. There are mercy players who can hear perfectly fine and are godawful.
As long as you’re playing your best, I have no issue with it.
As long as in general people at least listen to the shot calling being made then its absolutely no problem at all.
- You jumped into team chat to listen
[plus] - If you occassionally reply via text chat
= 99% doing better than everyone else in my comp games already
I would be 100% fine with this.
