Hey thanks for your detailed response, I really appreciate it :)errrm, you should probably learn to use it and get used to the discomfort. I mean your skills can be top tier, but without smooth effective comms your team will fail harder than Sander's economic policies. Problem with text related things is you have to look away from the game (in splatoon's case) to read them, then put the controller down to type out a response. for Dpad stuff you just run into the problem of not being able to communicate enough with just that in many cases.
I mean as for uncomfortable, why would you join a team with strangers you barely know? At least get to know them enough to enjoy their company before you shack up in a team with them.
You can be great at splatoon, and you can be a competitively minded player... but you won't get anywhere in a team without good communication. and your substitutes really don't do a good enough job replacing just normal comms speaking.
correct. none of the 4chan teams do.I thought The Squid Box didn't use coms.
not really, considering how successful they've beenSquid box doesn't use mic? What a shame.
They could be the best if they got in chat. It is a shame. Dont be dumb.not really, considering how successful they've been
not everyone is a big fan of voice comm, some people do better without it.They could be the best if they got in chat. It is a shame. Dont be dumb.
That is entirely the point! Things like this can be critical in competitive splatoon. Good gameplay, map awareness, and "common sense" can take you really far, but trying to coordinate special pushes or counter pushes is impossible (or at least very hard) without voice communication.Voice chat in this game is hardly vital imo with how small and simple the maps are, as well as having the other teams ink being a giveaway to where the other team is going. c'mon/to me is already useful enough for getting your team's attention for most things. I'd say the only thing voice chat is good for is if an enemy is sneaks somewhere and you don't deal with them yourself or if you're trying to bubble chain the tower. Small stuff that is too specific to say with the d-pad.
People yelling **** like "sniper on the perch where snipers usually are!" or "KRAKEN!" or "enemy is there!" when 2 seconds later they're somewhere else is useless and distracting to any competent player.
Hi I am Rudy and I have recently joined squidboards! Hello everybody :)
I am here to see how many of us here are DAMN competitive, wishes to join a squad for tourneys, but back immediately away on squid locator whenever voice communication is a requirement??
There can be a lot of reasons... maybe it is uncomfortable to chat with strangers... maybe of their age group... bad connection...or simply because you're just not up to it. Like me!
I know it sounds weird, but I would love to meet other fresh players who feel like they are in the same boat :p I believe this is not a handicap! I'm sure there are plenty of options for competitive players out there who does not prefer voice chat but is cool with text messages and D-Pad communication
THANK YOU for making this forum.I always couldn't voice chat,so makes me happy to know i'm not left out.
What are your thoughts?
You are gonna be at a disadvantage against people who use it and Im pretty talking to a group of 3 ppl in that awkward unless youre awkardHi I am Rudy and I have recently joined squidboards! Hello everybody :)

You know, if you asked me about voice communication before I bought splatoon, I'd say that they wouldn't be needed. The objective seems simple enough, and all one needs is good map awareness and common sense on the situation.Hi I am Rudy and I have recently joined squidboards! Hello everybody :)
