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

Eh, if you amend that to games where it matters in competitive, I'd agree mostly.

Though, being real, as long as they are willing to listen, and follow the instructions via voice, a mic isn't necessary. To the contrary, if you have a good organizer/leader, everyone else wasting time responding during a match makes a mic a drawback sometimes.

Yes, it does mean that if you don't have/use a microphone, and you aren't willing/able to do what you're told, you can fuck right off. You can't work as a team and make independent choices if you aren't going to communicate about them.

But this doesn't apply to every PvP game. There aren't a lot of truly competitive (as in the outcome matters, and the mode can't be effectively played as a group of individuals rather than as a team) games that it doesn't apply to, but they do exist.
