what's so fucking hard to read "High" or "Low"?
Well, i'm such a mysterious guy who dont wanna use voice communication.
Why? Well easy to understand: 8 out of 10 cases voice com aint helping, it is even disturbing.
Whether one singing retarded songs, talking bullshit about his reallife or screaming with 120 dB everytime he sees a launcher.
Some are talking to silent others way too loud and ontop of that there are people with echo.
No man, voice com sucks.
Binds are silent, easy to understand and fast.
Oh and dont come with the tacs: There is a nice tool called tactics viewer.
edit: oh yes i know that it's difficult / impossible to use them in pugs
It is not hard. Apart from the fact that binds are often lagged because of other msg's in the console, HIGH/LOW are also vague descriptions. Say Siege, u see a middle tower launch and u spam 'incoming high'. The guy's on roof have so far stopped 3 dark launches. When u spam high they might anticipate the next launch to be a darklaunch aswell. So their aims might be more the right. How much easier would it be for them if you would use voice comms and say 'middle tower launch' ?what's so fucking hard to read "High" or "Low"?
8/10 cases voice com aint helping? U must've not played with ppl who actually wanted to win then. Most matches I've personally lost were due to playing with ppl who don't use a mic/'broke' their mic / ts / vent.Why?

Problem is TuT, it's hard to enforce. Some people sign then the pug is reset for increasing the player limit. The players AFK then find they have lost thier place and feel they should have a spot.
People shouldn't really go afk during pug signups but we all know it takes some time for pug's to start on occasions. I know some people do however abuse it the way you mean, but any banning will make people assume some sort of favouritsm banning.
nobody ever listens to positions....cept a few people
heres my rant about pug, and yes i know its a PICK UP GROUP, but then consider this game is 7 years old, and most people left in this league have been playing this game for over3 years at least
you have 1 dimensional people who can only do certain stuff like "upfront", give them any other role and they suck and im not talking about giving some1 who cant snipe, a sniper role, im talking just any basic role. if its not normal for them they just dont like it/cant do it. I mean seriously people need to learn how to defend positions they are not use to. Otherwise they will always suck imo.
then you have those monkeys without comms + they suck anyways so they are basically a pile of shit and useless and spam LOLOLOLOLOL all day - FUCK OFF. I rather take some really crap player that can at least communicate well over a player who sucks and doesnt even have a voice comm. Playing alot of pug recently has showed me why there is such a big gulf in class even within division one itself. It seems some people are so systematic in how they play they forget so many of the other stuff like defending launches. Let me give an example i always say push forward at hurons path, a good player would push forward with the mindset that the enemy can launch at anytime from the bottom of the towers and would play to stop that. A dumb player will think "ok ill push forward" and doesnt even consider to worry about the launch before its too late, these players are too used to someone else dealing with it. And now a BAD player will die trying to push forward and then never ever push again causing the whole team to defend back. These are the worst players, because they dont understand what makes a good defense. And in this case its giving your team enough time to reposition after dying.
Then you have these mysterious "i have no mic" players. HELLO its fucking 2007 a microphone costs £2. But anyway im sure these mysterious people have mics and they are just to afraid to use them. whats so hard about saying high or low. dont fucking play pug if u cant communicate, pug is a step up from public servers, and that step up is being able to communicate and use tactics.
Now lets talk about attack, attacking in a pug is much harder because usually it takes practice before hand in a clan war etc to organise launches whos gonna do em and stuff like that. And you never know whos going to be in your team in PUGS so it is much harder. But theres some damn simple launches people cant set, learn them JEEEZ its not that hard. The other problem is once again down to communication, people dont say what launches they do know, until they grabbed a six pack rocket and then say WATERLAUNCH!!!! while waiting there for 15 secs for some1 to come. Make the play BEFORE you grab that 6 pack of rocket launcher and tell some1. That way you can launch immediately and the other guy is well prepared to accept he launch and there is adequate cover. There is no on-the-fly tactics in most pugs and i cant figure out why. If you cant attack one route why do you insist on taking that same route 500 times. I can understand if your close to getting an objective by using this method but otherwise why bother. The other problem is if a suggestion is made to attack a certain route, people try to second guess the person who made that call. Obviously stuff wont work if you do that. Theres so much more shit i can talk about but i cba, basically people need to stop playing dumb. And im not saying "wooohooo im the best - listen to me i rule, i own all you" cause im not the best, but i know for sure i play efffectively, and what i lack in my abilities i can make up through my communication and teamplay. And neither am i saying pug matchees should be as good as clan wars cause they never will be, but i just had my ass handed to me 4 times in a row 4-0 because of basic misunderstanding of the game from 1-2 people in my team. And thats my rant done, 1-2 bad players can ruin the entire team, so hopefully people can try do something about it.
you can't make people any more intelligent by making forum posts.
tbh most the non-TS user are jus scared ppl wont listen to their girly voices - hai bin rai
