Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!

How voting works:

Vote the opposite of the norm.

If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.

Guidelines:

Tag your post, if possible (not required)

If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].

Rules:

1. NO POLITICS

Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.

2. Be civil.

Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...

Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.

5. No trolling.

This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.

Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

You shouldn't be able to join a competitive pvp match or start a raid without a working microphone (self.unpopularopinion)

In games like Destiny or CS:GO for example, you should not even be allowed to start the activity without a working microphone. I dont care if you are antisocial, if that's the case, those activaties aren't for you and you shouldn't bring down your entire team because of that.

As an clarification, I'm more worried about Raids than PVP

I've played games competitively over a broad range of genres. I understand voice chat can be a boon, however it just as frequently is a distraction - especially with a pug.

It's generally a wash. I've seen OPs opinion expressed in many forms directed at voice chat, certain loadouts, need for mods, etc. It's misdirected blame.

Suggesting that the problem is following him game to game simply highlights that he himself is the common factor. Self improvement will always provide better results.

Destiny raids aren’t competitive PvP - it’s cooperative puzzle solving. The puzzles are designed to require communication and cooperation between a team of 6 people. Usually this works by having one player get the information that another player needs in some form.

It also helps if everyone is using meta loadouts or whatever, but that’s not the reason why voice chat is necessary.
