This is a team game. At the center of all teamplay is communication. Pings and typing are great but they don't communicate what you want to do exactly or aren't fast enough for the moment. We have all had games where everyone uses a mic and it feels fun & actually competitive. Then (in lower ranks) 7/10 games you are the only one with a mic or using one atm. Those games are a slugfest where you are trying to herd sheep while also frag & use util. It not only makes the games not fun but puts so much more pressure on the ones who do comm & want to win. No one wants to deal with these games. If you want to keep the game competitive, there should be a separate ranked mic required queue. Or maybe a report for no comms. Not a ban report but a way to put them in a hidden (no mic) queue to keep game integrity up. Either way, comms are a keystone of games like Val & I think this is worth a look into. What do you guys think?
