Re: If you don't own a mic, please don't play this game

@iiTzKareeem

Most of the online community is toxic, racist, and immature.

The other day I was playing with no mic.
Racism, name calling, blaming, and trash talking is rampant in online games, and is the primary justification for people choosing not to use a mic.
I don't use a mic's because everytime I do, I get in a super heated argument with some random disrespectful person.

And these argument are filled with profanity, name calling, the whole 9-yards!


And that is why I do not use microphones, instantly it gets toxic.

I do not use mic, and I mute players that use mics.
Most of the squads I win with does not use mics.

They are micless randoms that have over 1000 kills, all level 100 and above.
I usually friend these guys, and play ranked with them and we tear it up!
Not speaking a word.

The other day one of my friends decided to use a mic, and I could not comprehend a single word he was saying. He was speaking spanish.

And anyways, if your are good enough, you can win without a mic.

    @hhnbbfggty66Not saying you should use your mic for toxicity,
    Like for example, your teammate is knocked,
    What do you prefer?
    Someone telling you by voice exactly where they are? Or spamming the ping and annoying the hell out of you and getting you killed ?
    I had a teammate once spam the ping, thinking there’s only one guy, suddenly there were 3 people in the front and i get lasered,
    If he said by mic “ oh careful, they’re all together” i woulda played it differently and didn’t have to die and lose 4 RP’s for no reason

  • @iiTzKareeemMic's are bad!!!!

    Having a squad member whining in your ears will get you killed.
    Its better to let them ping like a dumbazz and get thirsted, if need be, so you can heal.

    Everytime I play with my friends, and they have mics, their cry-babying alone is enough to get me killed.

    I will get irrational and run in to help them, and instantly I will get killed.
    Maybe it is an instinct to help my friends, or maybe I don't want to let them down, or maybe I just want to shut them up.

    I dont know.

    But what I do know is muting their azz, and letting them spam ping is better for my rational mind.

    Because their crybabying will cause me to become irrational and get killed.

    And anyways, when they spam-ping before getting thirsted,
    I laugh my azz-off. XD

    LMFAO at the last sentence🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

    I dont know man, I’ve honestly never won a match with non-mic users except when i was alone and they were both dead just watching me,

    i wish Respawn would mute toxc players so we could actually all enjoy the game

    Maybe everyone's right...

    1. Having toxic players speaking leads to mute them
    2. Having non-toxic players speaking too much --> see 1.
    3. For best results, some voice chat might be required
    4. It's OK if someone don't have mic or don't want to use it - good games can be played like that (or use pre-made instead to avoid this).

    @iiTzKareeemdo you read my second comment? i talk about ping = marker, no ping = latency.

    slry how ping is "ping" but no ping the "ping"?

  • The only ones that cry on voice in my experience are the TTV's. Otherwise (at least for me) 99% of the time it's the no mics being toxic in text chat or crying.
