For some super high stakes billion dollar tournament ranked mode stuff they can probably afford to go for third party client and headsets. Same in games like Hearthstone (has emotes) and Heroes of the Storm (text chat). I can't even imagine the amount of negativity and vulgarity people would face with voice chat. Sometimes people add each other after the match just to talk trash. Just ask COD players the lovely words their opponents shower them with. It is good that you quit though as now you can focus on making threads on VGC. |
Hearthstone and heroes of the storm are not team based shooters though. Hearthstone doesn't even allow for coop, which is kind of the purpose of voice chat.
If trash talking is such an issue, then why not have a mute button set on by default? Why remove the entire feature?
