Krovvy/Valderan we ran into you guys last night, I was playing with some questionably skilled work friends. Your Hanzo is disgusting.
Aw, I wish I could remember what game was in question :c Did we win, or you? I lose a lot of Hanzo games where I some how still do a lot of damage/kills but clutch plays be winnin.
Maybe I'm being naive and missing something but why are you guys using a voice comm program when the in game voice comm is pretty awesome already?
I said earlier, but in a short sweet answer. Organization, and the ability to LFG/LFM.
It's much nicer to be able to have a mass group of people in one centralized area rather than sending out multiple tells because blizzard doesn't know how to set up a community chat, or hasn't tried. Some, idk, I know for myself, friendlists are huge. I have so many people playing overwatch, and about 5 or 6? different groups of friends. Co-workers, guildmates, rl friends, rerollers, and csgo friends, that its kinda hard to try and send tells to each individual to see who has a spot available(reroll is the biggest of the group, probably 2 to 3? groups probably going at once.) All of them are on discord conveniently, aside from workfriends.. they're PC plebs and skype. I tend to instead of looking at my b.net friends list, pop into any of their discord chats look at whois in chat, 5 people? ask em if lfm, see 6, move to the next.
Also its nice having a few extra bells and whistles when it comes to being able to control the output volume of a player. Some people are just insanely loud over other people who are insanely quiet. The open mic option for a program is usually far superior than the one blizzard put in the game. Blizzard's open mic literally just keeps your mic on with no input sensitivity, versus a program which if I wanted to, the only way you could hear me is if i'm screaming through the mic but its not like that because settings c: Since I stream time to time, I also have a mute button that I can hold so I can talk to whoever is in chat, or if anyone is talking to me, so I don't sound like i'm rambling on to someone else; massively convenient for streaming. Nothing like answering a viewers question, and the person you're in call with is like what, trying to figure out what the hell you're talking about.
I don't really understand the resilience against it though. I mean, i'm sure most people here are tame in reasoning because I've heard some wild ones from others not containing to rerolled. Best one i've heard was it "seems unsecure" despite wanting to use skype instead which a person can openly ddos you from a simple call. I'm not use it though. I'm use to hearing "Go get teamspeak" and a person gets teamspeak, or vent/mumble even. A program that basically takes all of that and shits on it all comes along and everyone is kinda alien now.
