Re: is using alternate forms of communication cheating?
so basically your recommendation is to convey as much information as possible to the teammate who is not in your discord group through pings and the like but still use the discord group to provide urgent and otherwise unconveyable information to the friend you are playing with through discord(ie the more specific locations and health statuses of enemies)? once again thanks for actually discussing this with me... helps me to get out of my own overly-nervous head a little bit.
Edit: also a relief since I thought the only responses id likely get would be troll comments.
