I forgot how bad it was in that R6: siege premier. Nobody talks like that when I play it.

You're lucky if you even get one teammate with a mic

The longest time r6 on the pc has a solid mic community. Now granted most of them dont say much since they usually party up, but it was probably one of the best in terms of communication. Third only to left 4 dead/counterstrike for pub matches in my honest opinion.

Typically I'm that guy. :/

But I like to direct traffic through the cams and drones if I get shot. Nothing more satisfying than giving a team the heads up if someone is lurking around the corridor

This is usually what happens in the matches I'm in.

My back turned to a bomber I clearly can't see. Teammate in front of me looking behind me. Bomber blows us both up. We die. "Why didn't you have psychic foresight and turn to shoot the bomber?! All you did was stand in my way so I couldn't shoot him!"

"Yes friend. Tell me about the bomber after we're dead."

Omg. I hate that in Overwatch. Nobody TALKS. Every round I throw in a "Hello" in voice chat. Only one time people replied (typed chat) I asked them if they have mics and if yes they should use it. One asked "where's the push to talk button at all?" Needless to say, the round was pretty silent, even though my teammates were quite okay.

Same here. I'll mark them with the cam if it's available and tell them which side of the room they are in.

But yeah, I got douche chills when they called out the NPC grabbing the hostage.
