@Pretzelnutcake Play like that in casual please. Ranked should be play to win, not hot dropping for 2-3 kills to die. You are ruining it for your team mates.
I'm sick to death of seeing this mentality in ranked.
@Pretzelnutcake Sorry. The OP had mentioned ranked so I thought you were as well.
I just have fun in casual. Sometimes it's comedy gold, sometimes frustrating and sometimes you hit great randoms and realise how good this game is when people play as a unit.
I hate the no pinging. It's easy enough to do lol. Oh and I also hate the, team mate starts a fire fight so I go to help out. Team mate then decides to retreat with no ping and leaves me to get boxed. Yeah, thanks for that.
Sorry I got my wires crossed/misunderstood your post.

@Silz616 I've never played a single ranked match nor do I have any intention of doing so because I don't have a mic and don't want to be a liability so don't worry. Even in casual I try to communicate and coordinate with my random teammates but 90% of them don't even say where they're landing or rotating which is why I just YOLO it and see what happens, if we win great but if not then I expected it
For what it's worth, playing with a headset makes the whole experience much better and it's easier to figure out where sounds are coming from directional-wise. Get a headset with a mic!
In all seriousness though, you can totally hang in Ranked without a mic as long as you are solid with the pings and stick to your squads. Don't get fancy and go off on your own. As long as you're within close proximity of your squadmates to be able to assist nobody will mind. Hopefully someone is on the team calling the shots so you can just follow their lead.

The ping feature is nothing short of genius. It makes playing with no mic so much more doable.
I have found if I keep my mic on but my team mates don't, they will take your lead if you are talking about intentions and where enemies are. Sometimes this works, other times it doesn't. A mic also helps with tactics and explaining what the best plan of attack is, when to Ult, when to wait on engaging and such.
I just wish people would embrace team play and make slight sacrifices to their own game play. The experience, when working as a unit, even with randoms is so so so much better and enjoyable, win or lose.
