  1. Squeakers.
  2. People who mouth breathe with no push to talk.
  3. People who argue with their wife, girlfriend, boyfriend, mom, dad…etc.
  4. Raging players who lost RNG or lost a battleground.
  5. People who eat over their mic and we get to hear awesome their snack was.
  6. People who make bodily noises over their mic.
  7. Different languages and I have no clue how to speak it.

Last time I tried the other players only spoke Mandarin. So voice chat has never been much use to me.

That may be true if all you do is lfr and baby m+ keys

Anytime that happened in Overwatch I just started singing to basically troll the guy raging.

Thankfully the others in the group thought it was funny.

Because we tried using their voice chat before. It was garbage back then and garbage now.

Same reason I don’t usually have voice chat with Discord, etc.

  • I play on a desktop, where mics aren’t a given, and I rarely have a mic hooked up.
  • My roommate is usually within earshot while I’m playing and I’m horribly self conscious when using voice chat with other people around.
  • There’s not much outside of rated and high level mythic content that actually requires voice chat.
  • If I were to have voice chat on, it’d probably be with a group of people I know and not randoms.

UGHHHHHH. I have misophonia. I just instantly get really angry when I hear that stuff. I wish I had control over it.

Same here. The struggle is so real.

Primary reason why I don’t use in-game voice chat is it doesn’t work 100% of the time for me. Discord is far more reliable for me.

33

I dunno whats worse. When people think I’m some young boy or they think I’m a girl. ( I’m a transman not a transboy dangit )

34

I have no idea how the ingame voice chat even works.

Discord is better. It has forced PTT as an option. I don’t want to hear people typing or their wives yelling at them, or even dogs barking.

Same for me. It was unusably non-functional when first introduced.

Now, I haven’t tried it recently, so maybe it’s gotten better. But my habit is not to use it, and that’s why.

37

God, same, I think personally, I think it’s worse when people think I’m a girl, at least if I’m taken for a younger guy the gender is correct if not the age… I’m fully grown, dangit!

Edited, typing is hard and I am very tired

This ^

& while yes, it’s a joke… last time I used voice chat in a pug they were the most annoying people I’ve ever had to socialize with. They actually didn’t talk about anything raid-related.

Still. Bleck. I’m glad this dnd group I’m in is fine with the fact that I can’t do a male voice for my male Tiefling character. Decreases the dysphoria by A LOT when that happens.

I can relate. I’m lucky enough to have a fairly deep voice, but only by the standards of looking at me as a woman. I can’t pull off a solidly masculine voice, which I find frustrating and upsetting. Isn’t dysphoria just the best?
