In games like Destiny or CS:GO for example, you should not even be allowed to start the activity without a working microphone. I dont care if you are antisocial, if that’s the case, those activaties aren’t for you and you shouldn’t bring down your entire team because of that.

As an clarification, I’m more worried about Raids than PVP

    So people with speach or hearing issues should not be allowed to play a game? Parents who just got their kids to sleep?

    Here’s an unpopular opinion: if you think your teammates not having voice chat are holding you back… You are the reason your team is losing.

      I don’t think you understand - a core part of D2 raid mechanics is players needing to quickly and effectively share information with each other.

      It’s things like player A needs to tell player B which of 5 buttons to press.

      It’s possible to do this communication via the in-game text chat, but there’s a lot of reasons why voice chat is much more effective.

        I’ve played games competitively over a broad range of genres. I understand voice chat can be a boon, however it just as frequently is a distraction - especially with a pug.

        It’s generally a wash. I’ve seen OPs opinion expressed in many forms directed at voice chat, certain loadouts, need for mods, etc. It’s misdirected blame.

        Suggesting that the problem is following him game to game simply highlights that he himself is the common factor. Self improvement will always provide better results.
