the only utility in radio comms is that people cannot mute them in any way

vvvvv just type 'ignorerad' in console I guess, but if any of you ever ignore me I'm throwing

There's a console command that mutes them. I forget what it is though.

Mic-less rear end

Yes, you're free to play however poorly you want and not having a mic is only one possible way to play poorly and anger your teammates. Those things being true doesn't make your arguments any better. Buy a mic or stick to casual for the sake of the other players actually playing the game correctly.

I went 38 and 19 in an MM game the other day and still lost. Why? Only one guy on my team had a mic.

Okay so I'm Gold Nova Master. I will not in any way argue that that's a good rank, but it's my rank. It's where the matchmaker got me after a bunch of games (without a mic). Apparently my competency in the set of skills required to play CS:GO (which includes my communication skills, of which capacity to use a mic is a subset) has gotten me to Gold Nova Master. Any teammates of mine *who have a mic* will presumably be worse at other skills (otherwise they'd be higher than GNM) and will do any number of other things to "play poorly and anger me". I won't get angry at the guy buying AK + Deagle + smoke when he could've bought AK + full armour instead (happened in one of my last games), so why should I limit myself to casual when he won't? This is why we have a matchmaker. People who are like *omg nub buy a mic or getout* can get gud and shoot past me in ranks, and I will play the game the way I feel comfortable instead of sticking to some random internet rear end in a top hat's expectations of how I'm supposed to play my game. If you can't stand people being bad in your team then stop playing team games (or play as well as you want your teammates to play so you get matched with them instead).

Edit: For the record I'm not arguing that buying AK Deagle Smoke instead of AK full armour makes one "unworthy of MM". It just means that if you're trying to get better (or if you already believe you "belong" in a higher rank lol) then you should accept that that's a bad buy and your bad buys will limit your capacity to rank up. It's a matchmaker, your bad plays are your business. If you want to have any influence over other people's bad plays, work on building a team and feel free to play with them. People I queue up with know that I don't have a mic and they're not assholes about it.
