I have been playing VALORANT a whole lot more lately since I am still stuck in quarantine, and after playing more than 100 competitive games this season (you can check for proof here), the thing that annoys me the most is when half of your team has no comms. Though I understand sometimes, they might be comm banned or they just don't want to talk and deal with toxic people, but these people turn off the ability to hear our callouts which is detrimental to gameplay as well as setting up a plan. I'm not sure about Riot making it so that comm banned players can't queue for competitive, but my opinion is that they should create queue pools, where people who have turned off comms and the ability to hear others are queued with others with similar settings, and then people who have comms turned on can be queued into their own pool of players. Thoughts?

Edit: User asked me to list server and region, I live in the U.S. and play in Illinois.
