How to Apex by Marten
Due to the increased toxicity and cries for a solo mode I'm here willing to give you some pointers on how to up your game. 1. Get MIC. the pinging system is an addition to the classic good ol trust...

Sadly i stopped reading after number 1.
Getting a mic is the most useless advice ever... sorry.
It distracts more than it actually helps because of severall reasons:
- language barrier, different dialects.
- no "on point" communication like in military (the only com that could actually be usefull).
- too much breathing/background noise.
- too many angry wifes/kids/parents.
- 90% it gets only used for swearing or being toxic.
- you wont hear or barely hear enemy footsteps/actions.
- 8, 9.... etc.
My first advice would be to disable mic and chat entirely so you can focus on more important things like "playing the game", "improve your awareness", "learn behavior patterns of your teammates so your teamplay improves", etc...
Then you never played any team tactical shooters on a higher level.
Ever seen the cs:go league players? They all communicate.
But good to know what your play style is, I just hope I'll never have to play with you xD
Each to his own though.

But atleast now i know where you´re coming from and why you rely heavily on a mic... playing decade old games with pretty basic mechanics (nothing more... not a single special outstanding mechanic).
csgo isn´t even close to be a "tactical" shooter.... it´s just a shooter, nothing more.
You should try to play rainbow6 if you want some real tactics involved.... or any other "modern" shooter because in any of them the soundengine is more effective, precise and faster at telling you enemy locations than any teammate could ever do.
It's done in lots and lots of team tactical shooters.
Though it requires social skills and a limited amount of information. ( no constant chit chat )
And judging by your condescending reactions its safe to say you're not capable of playing a game using a mic.
@MartenPhilip League players are set teams of people that know each other, not you and 2 random people that might be from a completely different country that can't understand you or have a microphone that's so crap you can't understand anything even if they speak a language you understand.
In fact I have not once had a random teammate who talked on mic I could understand properly at all.

That doesn't mean you can communicate with strangers.
Unless you're suffering from social anxiety.
And qualities might differ I had understandable people and people who were barely understandable.
It's still better than nothing.
