itt people arguing about the "unverified" benefits of communicating in a team-based game :iiam:

if you don't want to listen to your team just play a nice single player game where you don't have to communicate at all.

Generally if you can't adapt to teammates' issues in a team base game, you're not very great, but it's not necessarily a bad thing, everyone's gotta work on flexibility sometime!

So what other arbitrary limitations should there be? Should we ban people who have poorly placed speakers from matchmaking because they can't hear where steps are coming from? Should we ban people who don't maximize their digital vibrance or who play in 16:9 because it makes it harder for them to spot opponents?

I have no mic, and when I have time to type (often cuz I'm dead), I type. And I reached GNM by not using a mic, and I have no reason to believe I'm contributing less to the team than any other arbitrary GNM player.

this is kind of a selfish attitude and your analogies fall kinda flat because in 2k16 a mic costs like 3 dollars.

imagine this situation, you are a server at a restaurant and are serving people. you give them menus and treat them real nice, but when you go to take their order they won't speak to you. they just sit there and doing nothing while giving you mean looks, almost as if to say "how do you not know what we want to order?" you continue to refill their drinks and tell them about the specials but they still refuse to tell you verbally about what they want. 30 minutes pass and they just get up and leave. when you go check the table there is a note that says "we wanted 3 chicken tendies and xtra honey mustard animal style and we are in a hurry but noob server is retarded omfg kys"

yeah, so do whatever you want with the understanding that a team game rewards team players and people will get mad at you for being uncommunicative in a team game.

Literally nobody itt argued against the benefits of communicating in CS GO. I do it myself by typing whenever I can. I play CS GO because I like that it's team based and I like the great feeling I get when we work together and we achieve more than we could achieve if the 5 of us were all rambos.

Also in 2k16 installing VibranceGUI costs literally nothing. So why would you ban people not willing to spend 3 dollars, but not those who haven't maxxed out vibrance?

(Also I'd honestly rather have a teammate with no mic than one with a 3$ one who uses voice activation. Background noise will inevitably come through, and the distortion is incredibly distracting.)

1. communicating w voice is quicker and easier to parse than reading and writing for both parties
2. using your voice makes u more personable to the gamers you are playing with which might promote actual teamplay
3. vibrancegui is a piece of software made by some gamer who likes the game and also takes donations. a microphone is a piece of hardware produced and manufactured by electronics and acoustics companies who want to make money. i don't understand where your argument is going. the basics you need for an enjoyable multiplayer video game experience is a mouse, monitor, keyboard, pc, and a microphone. i wont even get into the 144hz monitors, the GAMING mice and keyboards, and the poopsock
4. if u are honestly so cheap and stubborn you can plug in a speaker or earbud into your mic in and use it as a mic (a speaker is just an inverted microphone so it works but not as great as an actual microphone)
5. people who dont use a mic are generally big dumb morons and are p much automatically hated in every game--go ahead ask anyone in the thread other than that huge idiot who isnt me that continually trolls goonpugs with consistant bad plays and absolutely refuses to com
6. if it's not blatantly obvious how important information is in game then u are a lost cause

i feel like this argument is reaching the troll horizon but i will say that you can solve a lot of issues such as someone not using push to talk by politely asking them (works better w voice comms because they can hear that u are a human being) to change a setting e.g. "hey, man can u use push to talk i would rly appreciate it tyvm"

What's retarded is getting your panties in a twist because another player doesn't play the game the way you want them to.

hey man, i was in the car listening to the bbc world service and there was this piece on a sitar player and how sitarists who hail from different schools and styles use different tuning for their strings. these schools, though different, follow strict melodic guidelines in their composition and as the presenter was listening to them he grew concerned--"how can you play such incredible music within such draconian rules?" the sitarist's response was that without rules there would be no structure and without structure to be followed or broken, music would cease to be interesting because it would just be chaos with no expectations to be fulfilled or shattered.

in this analogy you are the deaf-mute sitarist who plays the sitar made of rubber bands and a tissue box that no one wants to listen to because you are just awful and do nothing innovative and each competitive game you play in cs forces 4 other people to listen to your lovely music for at least 30 minutes.

continue to play however you want, but me and everyone like me will continue to let you know how loving dumb you are for playing a competitive game without a microphone and not coordinating buys with your team.

i dont understand why bad players think its a good idea to pop off about how their retarded plays are actually good and smart. there is a reason most people use the ak and m4 and there's also a reason why people communicate using microphones. believe it or not, there's also a reason why you shouldn't use a ump at anything but a close angle.

instead of trying to teach me a thing or two about this game that i've played for years, perhaps you should try to look deep inside yourself and find the humility to acknowledge that you play like an idiot and try to be a good player or stick to casual where you'd fit right in.

What I don't get is why people took me seriously. The only response was to double down.

the point of this whole ordeal was to show how dumb and bad players rarely have the skill to back up any of the bullshit feel-good game advice they spew out. aim is like 20% of the game and there are much more important factors in a lot of other situations such as positioning and timing. my gripe with all you dumb idiots in the thread is a lot of you are too selfish and stubborn to say "hey, i am playing a team-based game with other real human beings who might be griefed by my stupid choices... hmm better double down on being retarded instead of making compromises with my team." this dumb notion of "ill play how i want to play and you play how you want to play" goes against the premise of a team based game!! YOU SHOUDL PLAY A loving SINGLE PLAYER GAME IF YOU DONT WANT TO WORK TOGETHER AS A loving TEAM YOU GODDAMN RETARDS!! i used to think like this too, but now i realize how dumb and bad of a player i was and have pretty much been avoiding goonmans because of the mental illnesses and bad habits it gave me.

here are some lessons that some of you should learn:
a. people will flame you because it is a competitive game
b. antagonizing your teammates is a surefire way to have a bad time
c. you are a bad and i am a-better than u so stfu
d. i dont lie and i dont troll (lets win this game)

$7.00 for relatively good pugs with generally less trolls and idiots than mm and goonman has been a pretty good deal.

http://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/pdf/can-prevention-technical-package.pdf

http://news.utexas.edu/2016/04/25/risks-of-harm-from-spanking-confirmed-by-researchers

quote:

Gershoff and co-author Andrew Grogan-Kaylor, an associate professor at the University of Michigan School of Social Work, found that spanking (defined as an open-handed hit on the behind or extremities) was significantly linked with 13 of the 17 outcomes they examined, all in the direction of detrimental outcomes.

...

Gershoff and Grogan-Kaylor tested for some long-term effects among adults who were spanked as children. The more they were spanked, the more likely they were to exhibit anti-social behavior and to experience mental health problems. They were also more likely to support physical punishment for their own children, which highlights one of the key ways that attitudes toward physical punishment are passed from generation to generation.

maybe you should take my word that your cs game is retarded if you seriously consider spanking non-traumatic for a child
